Hauffenia sp. nov. is an as yet undescribed (in 2013)[1] species of freshwater snail that lives underground, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Hydrobiidae. This species is found in Slovakia.

Taxonomy

The genus Hauffenia is taxonomically problematic.[2]

Šteffek et al. (2011)[3] confirmed that the snail from Slovakia appears to belong to the genus Hauffenia, based on the morphology of the penial characters.[3]

However, molecular phylogeny research based on sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI) genes appears to demonstrate that although these snails belong to the family Hydrobiidae, they are not closely related to the genus Hauffenia.[3]

These snails from Slovakia may actually represent not one species but two genera: Hauffenia and Lobaumia.[3]

Specimens of this species are preserved in private collections.[2]

Distribution

This species is endemic to Slovakia.[4] It lives only in the Slovak Karst, where it was discovered in the 1980s.[4]

The former (subrecent) distribution of this species included also Miličské travertíny travertines near Banská Bystrica.[4]

Description

The shape of the shell is valvatiform. The shell is thin-walled and glossy.[3] The shell has 2–2.5 rapidly but regularly growing whorls.[3] The spire is low or very low.[3] The umbilicus is very wide, with the earlier whorls visible inside.[3] The teleoconch is very finely sculptured with weakly marked growth lines.[3] The protoconch has about 1¼ whorls growing slowly; the border between the proto- and teleoconch is indistinct; the protoconch surface is nodular.[3]

The width of the shell is up to 1.2 mm[4] or up to 1.8 mm.[3] The height of the shell is up to 0.8 mm[4] or up to 0.9 mm.[3]

The animal has no body pigment and no eyes.[3]

The sexes are distinct (females and males occur). Reproductive system: The penis is broad and blunt, has a weakly marked lateral lobe on its left side near the apex, a very small stylet, a penial duct running in a zigzag, and no visible trace of an ejaculatory duct.[3] The female reproductive organs are of Hauffenia-type.[3]

Ecology

This species lives in subterranean waters[4] and in springs.[1] This species is very rare.[3]
