Abstract
Ancylids are widespreaded pateliforms basommatophorans in lentic and lotic continental freshwater habitats. This paper shows a list of South American species based on literature revision and personal observations about systematic and morphology as well as some morphological, biological, ecological and paleontological data. Seven genera and at least thirteen good species are found: Anisancylus dutrae (Santos, 1994); Anisancylus obliquus (Broderip & Sowerby, 1832); Burnupia ingae Lanzer, 1991; Burnupia sp.; Ferrissia gentilis Lanzer, 1991; Ferrissia sp.; Gundlachia bakeri Pilsbry, 1913; Gundlachia radiata (Guilding, 1828); Gundlachia ticaga (Marcus & Marcus, 1962); Hebetancylus moricandi (d’Orbigny, 1837); Laevapex sp.; Uncancylus concentricus (d’Orbigny, 1835) and Uncancylus crequii (Bavay, 1904). Gundlachia leucaspis (Ancey, 1901); Gundlachia lutzi Walker, 1925; Gundlachia saulcyana (Bourguignat, 1853); Hebetancylus philippianus (Biese, 1948); Laevapex vazi Santos, 1989; Uncancylus foncki (Philippi, 1866) and Uncancylus patagonicus (Biese, 1948) need to be revised. Anatomical data show that South American ancylids are not closed related to Ancylus fluviatilis Müller, 1774. It is necessary to improve the knowledgement specially about morphology, biology, geographical distribution and genetics in order to assess the true systematic position of the called neotropical genera (Anisancylus Pilsbry, 1924; Gundlachia Pfeiffer, 1849; Hebetancylus Pilsbry, 1913 and Uncancylus Pilsbry, 1913) and also Burnupia Walker, 1912 and Ferrissia Walker, 1903. Methodological procedures are presented.
