Manual of Conchology, Vol. 24 (Classic Reprint): Structural and Systematic; With Illustrations of the Species; Pupillidæ - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore the structural world of Pupillidae with clear terminology and illustrated species. This volume introduces the terminology of lamellae and folds used to describe small land snails, and explains how these teeth and lamellae help identify species. It also outlines a practical framework for classifying subfamilies and genera within the Gastrocoptinae and related groups, with examples and diagrams to aid understanding.
You’ll find explanations of tooth formulas, the history of naming conventions, and guidance on how to read and compare shell features. The book discusses the relationships among genera such as Gastrocopta, Hypselostoma, and Boysidia, and it presents a structured approach to recognizing distinctive forms through morphological details and regional variation. The included figures illustrate key concepts and representative species.
- Definitions of lamellae, folds, and plicae on shell margins and lips
- How to read tooth formulas and interpret homologous structures
- Genera groupings and notable species across Gastrocoptinae and related subfamilies
- Practical guidance for comparing European, North American, and other fauna
Ideal for readers with an interest in malacology, conchology, and shell taxonomy seeking a grounded, illustrated reference.

This subfamily includes the genera Chzenaxis, Gibbulina, Gastrocopta, Bothriopupa, Hypselostoma, Anauchen, Boysidia, Gyliauchnn, Aulacospira, and Systenostoma. The first part of the book introduces the biology, taxonomy, and terminology of the subfamily. The second part is dedicated to the systematic study of the ten genera which make up the Gastrocоptinae, containing descriptions of species, subspecies, and variations. It also discusses the phylogenetic relationships between the genera and provides keys to aid in identification. This book will be a valuable resource for malacologists, zoologists, and anyone interested in the study of gastropods.
