Twenty-seven new species and four new genera of Gastropoda (Animalia: Mollusca) from plateau lake Quaternary sediments in Yunnan, southwestern China

The plateau lakes of Yunnan, China boast a high diversity of Gastropoda; however, few studies have been conducted on Gastropoda in desiccated lakes. This study conducted surveys from 2021 to 2025 on five lakes sediment in Yunnan. A total of 27 freshwater snail species and four new genera were discovered at these locations. This study provides morphological descriptions of these newly discovered freshwater snails and has proposed their taxonomic status.

Abstract

The plateau lakes of Yunnan, China boast a high diversity of Gastropoda; however, few studies have been conducted on Gastropoda in desiccated lakes. This study conducted surveys from 2021 to 2025 on five lakes sediment in Yunnan. A total of 27 freshwater snail species and four new genera were discovered at these locations. This study provides morphological descriptions of these newly discovered freshwater snails and has proposed their taxonomic status.
