ABSTRACT
The radula of five species of South American Ampullariidae was analysed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with the purpose of enlarging new studies on the systematic of this family. The studied species were Pomacea -canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822), Pomacea scalaris (d'Orbigny, 1835), Pomella (P.) megastoma (Gray, 1847), Asolene (A.) platae (Maton, 1809) and Felipponea neritiniformis (Dall, 1919). The central tooth shows different attributes which provide the means for generic determination; the analysis of the central tooth, the lateral and marginal ones by SEM adds further information for species differentiation.
RESUMO
A rádula de cinco espécies sul-americanas de Ampullariidae é analisada ao microscópio eletrônico de varredura com objetivo de fornecer novos subsídios à sistemática desta família. As espécies estudadas são Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822), Pomacea scalaris (d'Orbigny, 1835), Pomella (P.) megastoma (Gray, 1847), Asolene (A.) platae (Maton, 1809) e Felipponea neritiniformis (Dall, 1919). O dente central apresenta novos subsídios à determinação genérica, o estudo ao microscópio eletrônico os dentes central, laterais e marginais acrescentam novos subsídios na determinação das espécies.
