The freshwater snails were collected from Kumpung reservoir in Jellabuk-do on June 6, 2009 and identified into Sinotaia quadrata (Benson, 1842) of the family Viviparidae. The S. quadrata has been known as the only species list, without habitat and morphological information in Korea. So, this paper was dealt with the taxonomic account and illustration for description of S. quadrata in the Korea.

한국에 분포되어 있는 논우렁이과(Viviparidae)권패류는 논우렁이(Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata)와 큰논우렁이(C. japonica), 두 종이 보고되어 있으나 형태학적 유사성 때문에 감별이 용이치 않다. 우선, 본 연구에서는 두 종간에 염색체 수와 핵형분석 결과를 비교해 보고자 하였다. 두 종 모두 염색체 수는 2n=18이었으며 성염색체는 구별할 수 없었고, 두쌍의 metacentric과 7쌍의 submetacentric염색채를 갖고 있었다. 두 종간 평균 염색체 크기에는 큰논우렁이가 논우렁이보다 약 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$정도 크게 나타났다.

한국에 분포된 논우렁이과(family Viviparidae)에는 논우렁이(Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata)와 큰논우렁이(C. japonica) 두 종으로 알려져 있으나 그 형태적 차이점을 구별하기는 쉽지 않다. 형태학적 주요 차이점은 논우렁이에서 패각의 봉합이 깊어 나탑이 뚜렸하고 둥글며 spire angle이 약 62。- 66。인데 비해, 큰 논우렁이는 봉합이 깊지 않아 나탑이 뚜렷하지 못하고 밋밋하며 각 나층에 두개씩의 나륵이 있는 점과 spire angle이 약 58。- 61。인 점이다. 소화기관과 생식기관에서는 2종의 암, 수 모두에서 특이할만한 차이점을 찾아 볼 수 없으나 논우러이는 큰논우렁이에 비해 전반적으로 크고 긴 기관들을 갖고 있었다. 논우렁이와 큰노누렁이 모두에서 IM, IOL, ILL, IC, ILL, IOL, IM의 치설 배열을 보였으나 분치(cusp)배열이 다소 상이하였으며, 논우렁이 개체군 사이에도 분치 배열의 상이점이 관찰되었다. 그러나 위의 두 종은 형태적으로 유사성이 높기 때문에 $\beta$-분류 및 $\gamma$-분류로 그 체계를 확실히 구명하여야 할 필요성이 인정된다.

Three species of the families Viviparidae and Pleuroceridae, the first intermediate host of paragonimiasis, metagonimiasis and echinostomiasis were studied cytologically. The observed diploid chromosome number was as follows: Semisulcospira libertina 36, S. dolichostoma 34, and Viviparus rivularis 64. The mitotic chromosome complement of S. libertina has nine metacentric pairs and nine submetacentric pairs, and S. dolichostoma has three metacentric pairs and 14 submetacentric pairs of chromosomes. Viviparus rivularis showed two metacentric pairs and 30 submetacentric pairs of chromosomes.

A horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for enzyme proteins extracted from 2 species of Korean viviparid snails; Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata and C. japonica was carried out in order to elucidate their genetic relationships. A total of 10 enzymes were employed in three different kinds of buffer systems. Two loci from each enzyme of alcohol dehydrogenase, esterase, glucose phosphate isomerase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, iditol dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and peptidase(VL); and only one locus dach from two enzymes, glycerlo-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglucomutase were detected; but, four loci from peptidase(LGG) were observed. Most of loci in two viviparid species showed homozygous monomorphic banding patterns and some of them were specific as genetic markers between two different species. However, EST-1, MDH-1, PEP(VL)-1loci showed polymorphic banding patterns. Foru populations of C. chinensis malleata were more closely clustered in a dendrogram within the range of genetic identity values of 0.928-1.00, and these clusters were lineated with C. japonica at the value of 0.355. In summarizing the above results, two viviparid snail species dmployed in this study mostly showed monomorphic enzyme protein banding patterns, and genetic differences specific between two species.

한국산 논우렁이(CIpangopaludina chinensis malleata)와 큰논우렁이 (C. japomica)는 형태학적으로 유사하여 그 감별이 용이치 않다. 본 연구는 이 두 종을 대상으로 28S rDNA DI유전자를 7종의 제한효소로 처리하여 PCR-RDLP기법으로 그 절편을 비교하였다. 절편 상호간에는 차이점을 관찰할 수 없었으나, 두 종으로부터 분석된 28S rDNA DI 유전자의 염기서열에서는 4 부위에서 종간 차이를 보였다.

The chromosome of Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata Chunchon area in 1988 was analysed by using aceto-orcein squash techniques of spermatogonial tissues to obtain mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. The chromosome cycle did not differ, in general, from that found in other snails, C. chinensis malleata has 18 diploid chromosomes and they were identified and classified into 2 groups. The mitotic chromosome complement of this species consists of 2 pairs of metacentric and 7 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, Spermatogonial metaphase chromosomes range in length from 4.10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the largest pair to 2.20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the smallest pair.

We explored the indigenous local knowledge associated with the use of snails by Baiga people in Baihar tehsil of Balaghat district in central India through interview with a semi-structured questionnaire. Results revealed that Baiga people widely accept snails of 3-5 morpho-groups belonging to Ampullariidae, and Viviparidae family as food. Besides, use of snail as therapeutic agents for ailments like body ache, joint pain, digestion, weakness of bones etc. were found common. Hand-picking of snails from the wild environments as well as agriculture field was the primary way of harvesting edible snails. We advocate the development of a farming system for the continuous supply of snails as a food resource, advancement of scientific investigation of functional properties of them, economic progress of the region and therefore the overall sustainability.
