Crenobiont, stygophile and stygobiont molluscs in the hydrographic area of the Trebišnjica River Basin

In the paper the crenobiont, stygophile and stygobiont malacofauna of the karst area of Popovo Polje around Trebinje (Eastern Herzegovina, BiH) is presented. The materials were collected from springs, caves and interstitial habitats (with a Bou-Rouch pump) at 23 localities. The following species wer...

Description
Summary:In the paper the crenobiont, stygophile and stygobiont malacofauna of the karst area of Popovo Polje around Trebinje (Eastern Herzegovina, BiH) is presented. The materials were collected from springs, caves and interstitial habitats (with a Bou-Rouch pump) at 23 localities. The following species were found: Pisidium cf. personatum A.W. Malm, 1855, (Deshayes, 1833), (Küster, 1852), (Küster, 1852), Radomaniola cf. bosniaca (Radoman, 1973), Rysiewska & Osikowski, 2020, (Pešić & Glöer, 2012), (Westerlund, 1886), Grego & Glöer, 2019, a new genus and species of the Sadlerianinae, Brusina, 1870, Iglica cf. absoloni (A.J. Wagner, 1914), Schütt, 1963, Rysiewska & Osikowski, 2021, Glöer & Pešić, 2008, (Rossmässler, 1835), (O. F. Müller, 1774), Martens, 1783, sp. and the amphibiotic Succinea cf. putris (Linnaeus, 1758). The redescription of the genus Grego & Glöer, 2019, applying the characteristics of shell, female reproductive organs and penis, is also presented. The new genus and species are described, based on the shell, penis, radula and fragmentary data on the female reproductive organs. For all species, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) is applied to confirm the determination; in the case of and the new genus, the nuclear histone H3 locus is also used, in order to infer both their distinctiveness and phylogenetic relationships.
