| Abstract |
The Australian land snail genus Bothriembryon Pilsbry, 1894 currently consists of 67 extant species, with 60 found only in Western Australia and of these, 54 are confined to the south-west Western Australia (SWWA) biodiversity hotspot. Based on molecular and morphological data we describe three new species from the SWWA biodiversity hotspot: B. aridensis n. sp. from Cape Arid National Park, B. striatus n. sp. from the Bremer Bay area and B. turris n. sp. from the Koolyanobbing area. |
