Abstract
Abstract: Boettgerilla pallens Simroth, 1912 is reported in Oregon for the first time and has been collected in five counties. Species identification was confirmed using distinctive morphological characters (i.e. dark keel running from the end of the mantle to the tail; posterior end of the mantle pointed and not rounded; body cylindrical, hump shaped when at rest; and slender and worm-like when crawling) and partial mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from three specimens. Information on the general biology, ecology and pest status of the species are presented.
期刊介绍:
The American Malacological Bulletin serves as an outlet for reporting notable contributions in malacological research. Manuscripts concerning any aspect of original, unpublished research,important short reports, and detailed reviews dealing with molluscs will be considered for publication. Recent issues have included AMS symposia, independent papers, research notes,and book reviews. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous reviewing by independent expertreferees. AMS symposium papers have undergone peer review by symposium organizer, symposium participants, and independent referees.
