Notes and descriptions of new Urocoptidae from Cuba and Hispaniola (Mollusca: Pulmonata)

Abstract

The following notes and descriptions of new species are based upon material in the Museum of Comparative Zoology which has been collected over the past several years. All species are members of the family Urocoptidae, one of the most dominant families in the West Indies and in a lesser way in Central America and in the southwestern United States. This family occurs also in northern South America, but species are few and present only a very minor element in the molluscan fauna there.
