Taxonomic position of the species Troglaegopis mosorensis (Riedel & Rađa, 1983) (Kuščer, 1933), based on shell morphology and anatomy of reproductive organs place this species in a family Zonitidae. Shell morphology is very similar to representatives of family Zonitidae but “brachium copulatorum” ( very long vaginal appendage) is a characteristic for family Vitrinidae. In our survey we combined morphology-based taxonomy and molecular techniques to define the current taxonomic status of T. mosorensis whose internal morphology (genital organs) bear some characteristics of the family Vitrinidae (Riedel and Radja 1983 ; Hausdorf 2002), but the species is included in the family Zonitidae. In order to determine whether species Troglaegopis mosorensis belongs to the family Zonitidae or Vitrinidae we performed a Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analysis by combining our data and data on the species of the genus Zonites (Montfort, 1810) and Turcozonites (Riedel, 1987) from GenBank. We have determined the mitochondrial 16S rDNA, COI, H3 and ITS region sequences of 21 Troglaegopis, 4 Meledella, 6 172 Aegopis and 7 Vitrina specimens. Our results indicate the separate position of the genus Troglaegopis and unexpectedly A. verticillus in relation to the families Zonitidae and Vitrinidae that suggest new systematic position on family level for the genera Troglaegopis and Aegopis. |
