Morfologia y biologia de Bostryx conspersus (Sowerby) (Mollusca, Bulimulidae) en las lomas costeras del Peru Central

Abstract

Morphological and biological observations on populations of the land snail Bostryx conspersus, in three "Lomas"of the Central Coast of Peru, were carried out between 1979 and 1982. Three shell color varieties of B. conspersus are reponed herein, as well as its aestivation, activity and reproduction strategies. The possible interactions of B. conspersus with a dipteron (Scaptomyza sp.; Drosophilidae) and a nematode species are also discussed.
