Opisthostoma Vermiculum
''Opisthostoma vermiculum'' is a species of minute land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Diplommatinidae. The shell possesses four different coiling axes; the most for any known living gastropod. This member of the Diplommatinidae family is endemic to Malaysia. Its natural habitat is tropical limestone outcrops. Shell description When the species was discovered, thirty-eight specimens were collected: the shell shapes showed low variation. The snail shell is high and wide. This is the first snail reported that has a shell which shows four discernible coiling axes. The body whorls of the shell thrice detach and twice reattach to preceding whorls without any support. The detached whorls coil around three secondary axes in addition to their primary teleoconch axis. All specimens showed these features in a homogeneous way. ''Opisthostoma vermiculum'' was selected as one of ''"The Top 10 New Species"'' described in 2008 by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Opisthostoma Jucundum
''Opisthostoma jucundum'' is a species of land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Diplommatinidae. This species is endemic to the island of Mantanani Besar, Sabah, Malaysia. The species is found solely on an exposed limestone Limestone ( calcium carbonate ) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime. It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of . Limestone forms whe ... ridge near the northern end of Mantanani Besar within tropical coastal forests. The extent of its occurrence is less than 1km2 , and is threatened by habitat loss. Local villages and plantations of bananas and tropical fruit have encroached upon the limestone cliffs, leading to the desiccation of the forests in the region. The population of the species is decreasing. References Endemic fauna of Malaysia Invertebrates of Malaysia Diplommatinidae Taxonomy articl ...
