Iconography of the essential shell characters of the Phaedusinae (Clausiliidae)
HARTMUT NORDSIECK (II. 2016)
That group of Asiatic Clausiliidae, which forms the subfamily Phaedusinae in the strict sense,
comprises 591 species (548 described + 43 undescribed species, as far as known to me). The essential
shell characters of the Phaedusinae are the development of the inferior lamella and of the palatal
plicae. The present iconography of these key characters has originated in the course of more than a
decade of systematic work on that subfamily (1997-2012). For 155 species (about a fourth of all
known species), coming mainly from the countries with the highest diversity, China, Japan and
Vietnam, the palatal plicae (as seen through the shell, = PP) and the inferior lamella (as far as seen in
oblique view into the aperture, = Il) (see text-figs. A-C) have been drawn. These drawings enable the
user to determine at least the genus and subgenus of the species which he has in hand.
Text-Figs. A-C. Palatal plicae and inferior lamella of Phaedusinae.
A. Oospira (Formosana) magnaciana (HEUDE 1882) (C);
B. O. (F.) semprinii (GREDLER 1884) (C);
C. Hemiphaedusa (Selenophaedusa) spinifera H. NORDSIECK 2005 (C).
Abbreviations: auPP = anterior upper palatal plica; alpp = anterior lower palatal plica; il = inferior lamella; lPP
= lower palatal plica; Lu = lunella; mPP = middle palatal plica(e); plPP = posterior lower palatal plica; Pr =
principal plica; Sc = subcolumellar lamella; Sl = superior lamella; uPP = upper palatal plica.
In the following the figured species are listed in systematical order. Following the species name the
figured character complex (palatal plicae = PP, inferior lamella = Il) and the origin of the figured
species are added (in brackets, A = India (Assam), Myanmar, C = (mainland) China, H = Himalayan
India, Nepal, I = Indonesia, Philippines, J = Japan (main islands), R = Japan (Ryukyuan Islands), S =
Thailand, T = Taiwan, V = Vietnam). To avoid confusion, in the drawings of the palatal plicae the
principal plica (Pr) and subcolumellar lamella (Sc), if also present on the drawing, are marked.
