Plagiodontes is a recent genus of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Odontostomidae.[2][3]

Plagiodontes is sometimes considered a subgenus in the genus Cyclodontina. It occurs in tropical and sub-tropical regions of South America.[4]

Fossil record

The fossil record of Plagiodontes extends back to the Brazilian Paleocene, with a supposed specimen of Plagiodontes dentatus found in Itaboraí Basin.[1] This same species has also been recorded from the Miocene of Uruguay and Miocene and Pleistocene of Argentina.[5][6][7]

Species

Species within the genus Plagiodontes include:

  • Plagiodontes brackebuschii (Doering, 1877)
  • Plagiodontes daedaleus (Deshayes, 1851)
  • Plagiodontes dentatus (Wood, 1828) - fossil from Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, recent from Argentina - type species of genus
  • Plagiodontes multiplicatus (Doering, 1877)
  • Plagiodontes parodizi Pizá & Cazzaniga, 2016
  • Plagiodontes patagonicus (d'Orbigny, 1835)
  • Plagiodontes rocae Doering, 1881
  • Plagiodontes strobelii (Doering, 1877)
  • Plagiodontes weyenberghii (Doering, 1877)
  • Plagiodontes weyrauchi Pizá & Cazzaniga, 2009
Synonyms
  • Plagiodontes dentata (Wood, 1828): synonym of Plagiodontes dentatus (W. Wood, 1828) (incorrect gender of species epithet)
  • Plagiodontes iheringi (Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1898): synonym of Plagiodontes patagonicus (d'Orbigny, 1835)
  • Plagiodontes patagonica (d'Orbigny, 1835): synonym of Plagiodontes patagonicus (d'Orbigny, 1835) (incorrect gender of species epithet)
  • Plagiodontes trahyrae - from Brazil: synonym of Cyclodontina trahyrae (S. H. F. Jaeckel, 1950)
