Summary: | Haminoea maray is introduced as a replacement for what was previously identified as H. elegans, now recognized as a complex comprising several species found on both sides of the Atlantic. This descriptive paper presents a comprehensive phenotypic study based on specimens collected from Ceará to São Paulo, Brazil, and had been previously recognized as a molecular variant. The newly described species inhabits estuarine environments with low salinity, exhibiting distinct conchological and anatomical features compared to other populations of H. elegans and related congeners. https://zoobank.org/936AAD86-91A6-459D-A6ED-9C3DC7F2E8FF.
Haminoea marray é descrita substituindo o que previamente era identificado como H. elegans no Brasil, atualmente reconhecido como várias espécies ocorrendo em ambas as costas do Atlântico. Este artigo descritivo apresenta um detalhado estudo fenotípico de espécimens coletados do Ceará a São Paulo, Brasil, que têm sido previamente reconhedicos como uma variante molecular. A nova espécie descrita habita ambiente estuarino com baixa salinidade, exibindo diferenças conquilioógicas e anatômicas se comparadas com outras popilações de H. elegans e de congêneres correlatos. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:936AAD86-91A6-459D-A6ED-9C3DC7F2E8FF |
