Abstract

Species of Cathaica are widespread in the temperate montane regions of China, exhibiting high diversity and a broad spectrum of shell morphologies that reflect adaptation to heterogeneous environments. Here we describe three new Cathaica species from the Taihang Mountains of Henan and Hebei, China: Cathaica sculptilis Wang, Chen, He & Zhang, sp. nov., C. zhangcunxiangi Wang, Chen, He & Zhang, sp. nov., and C. wangjiaxuni Wang, Chen, He & Zhang, sp. nov. Two of these, C. sculptilis sp. nov. and C. wangjiaxuni sp. nov., share shell features with C. multicostata G. Zhang, 2023. Integrative morphological and molecular analyses support recognition of all three new species. The genital anatomical information of C. mengi is also provided for the first time.

Key words: Comparative morphology, molecular phylogeny, new species, northern China, rocky habitats

摘 要

华蜗牛属 Cathaica Möllendorff, 1884 的物种广泛分布于中国温带山地地区，它们表现出高度的多样性，并演化出多种形态以适应不同的环境。本研究基于采自太行山区的标本，描述了华蜗牛属的三个新物种：雕刻华蜗牛 C. sculptilis、张氏华蜗牛 C. zhangcunxiangi 和王氏华蜗牛 C. wangjiaxuni。形态学和分子系统学分析均支持这些新物种的独立性，并补充了孟氏华蜗牛 C. mengi 的生殖器形态信息。
