Studies on the Genital Organs of Fourteen Species of Family Bradybaenidae in Korea
한국산 달팽이과 14종의 생식기관에 관한 연구
Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the genital organs of 14 land snail species belonging to family Bradybaenidae in Korea. The species used for present experiment were characterized by well developed dart sac, accessory sacs and two mucous glands between accessory sacs. No flagellum in the snails of three species employed(Acusta despecta sieboldiana, Koreanohadra kurodana, K. koreana) was observed in this study. The similarity value between Koreanohadra kurodana and Koreanohadra koreana (S=0.834) was more higher than the other species pairs. The higher value followed was recorded between Aegista gottschei and Aegista pyramidata (S=0.761). The clustering type by anatomical genital organs was similar to that analysed by the shell morphologies.
