ARAYA, Juan Francisco; MIQUEL, Sergio E.  y  MARTINEZ, Edmundo. New records of terrestrial mollusks (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora) from Antofagasta, northern Chile. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2017, vol.88, n.3, pp.769-772. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmb.2017.07.015.

New records for Bostryx holostoma (Pfeiffer, 1846), Pupoides minimus (Philippi, 1860), Stephacharopa calderaensis Miquel & Araya, 2013 and an unidentified charopid species are presented on the basis of specimens collected near the city of Antofagasta, in northern Chile. This is the first record for S. calderaensis after its description, extending its known distribution about 350 km northwards. Details on the protoconch of B. holostoma are presented for the first time, and this species extends its distributional range 145 km southwards. The microhabitat of these species in litho-refugia may explain the presence of these minute terrestrial mollusks in hyper arid northern Chile, further highlighting the need of additional studies of this neglected fauna.
