Zusammenfassung: | The terrestrial gastropod family Thysanophoridae is reported herein for the first time from Brazil. The new record stems from a 2015 survey in the Reserva Biológica de Pedra Talhada, a protected Atlantic Forest fragment in Alagoas state, in the northeastern part of the country. Only two empty juvenile shells were found, and the specimens can be tentatively identified as
Thysanophora
cf.
plagioptycha
(Shuttleworth, 1854). Given the location is a reserve, this is potentially a natural occurrence and not a case of introduction. |
