Fulfilling the taxonomic consequence after DNA Barcoding: Carychiumpanamaense sp. n. (Eupulmonata, Ellobioidea, Carychiidae) from Panama is described using computed tomographic (CT) imaging.

摘要: Five years ago, the Panamanian evolutionary lineage (EL) C12 was uncovered along with four other ELs in an integrative phylogenetic investigation of worldwide Carychiidae. Since EL lacked shell material post-molecular analysis to serve as a museum voucher, it remained undescribed. Now, after recent collection efforts and congener, Carychiumzarzaae Jochum & Weigand, 2017 at their original sites, is morphologically described formally assigned name, Carychiumpanamaense Jochum, sp. n. In sync taxonomic treatment genus, computed tomography (CT) used this work differentiate shells C.panamaensesp. from geographically-proximal, Caribbean, North Central American congeners. Recent topotypic Carychiumjardineanum (Chitty, 1853) undamaged C.zarzaae were additionally CT-scanned assessed comparative analyses.
