Freshwater micro-gastropods from the Iguaçu National Park, Brazil: two new truncatelloid caenogastropods and anatomy of Chilina megastoma Hylton Scott, 1958

Research in Iguaçu National Park, Brazil, has uncovered three micro-gastropod species, including two new truncatelloid caenogastropods: Potamolithus mirim and Heleobia iguassu, alongside a detailed anatomical study of the poorly understood chilinid Chilina megastoma. These findings highlight the park's rich biodiversity and the need for protective measures due to their high endemism. The study employed morphological and taxonomic analyses, contributing significantly to our understanding of these species' phylogeny and taxonomy.
