Mollusca comprises one of the most heterogeneous zoological groups on the planet, inhabiting almost all natural environments. Among the most representative lineages in marine and terrestrial diversity, two gastropod genera stand out for their taxonomic complexity, Thaisella (marine) and Megalobulimus (terrestrial). Both have in common the fact of having widely distributed species, but reg…
This Project is continuation of the Project Fapesp 2010/11400-1, completed in 2013, and has the goal of fulfilling some gapes to effectively furnish to the national and international scientific community an iconographic illustrated catalogue, inventorying every known species of marine and estuarine mollusks from both (Atlantic and Pacific) South America coasts. This Project is natural pro…
The organization of the bivalves in general has always been very confusing and, in the case of ostreids, the intraspecific variation further complicates the identification of different species that occur in all oceans. Analysis morpho-anatomical, molecular and currently, are being widely used both to check their blood relations or to solve the problems of group identification. The Ostreid…

The Cuban land mollusk fauna is widely represented by Prosobranchia and Pulmonata subclasses, in such amount of species and subspecies, of forms and variations, that at the beginning of the last century, Cuba was nominated as "the paradise of the land snails". However, in over 170 years of research, the Cuban land mollusks have not been studied following the current taxonomic criteria. Ne…
The mollusks species in the order Sacoglossa represents a monophyletic group well supported by morphological and molecular studies. However, the clades inside it from family to species level are not in the same way. The family Plakobranchidae is known as the mayor problematic group within the order, with about a third of the species of the sacoglossans mollusks. This problem is mainly dri…
The research on terrestrial molluscs has advanced globally in recent decades and aroused great interest. However, one can consider that in Brazil, the level of knowledge about the group remains incipient. It is known that the terrestrial molluscan fauna presents environmental importance for the maintenance of natural ecosystems, but when introduced as a exogenous, can harm the environment…

The comprehension of the order Sacoglossa's evolutionary history is fundamental to understand the adaptive radiation of Heterobranchia, the most morphologically heterogeneous group in Gastropoda. Sacoglossans form a well-supported monophyletic group, but the relationship of its internal clades is still confused. Plakobranchidae is the most diverse family and the main systematic problem of…
The family Fasciolariidae contains important members of shallow coastal waters and sandy substrates fauna, with 24 species distributed among seven genera in Brazil. The taxonomic position of the family is well established in the Buccinoidea Superfamily, however, its arrangement among the different genera is still not known, mainly because no thorough taxonomic analysis has been undertaken…
The subfamily Tegulinae comprises 40 species allocated in the genus Tegula and the monospecific genus Norrisia. The positioning of tegulines is still uncertain, often switching between the families Trochidae and Turbinidae. The systematic arrangements proposed for this taxon are not consensual or supported by phylogenetics. Thus, there is a clear need for detailed studies on the evolution…
