New reports for Oxychilus draparnaudi (H. Beck, 1837) (Gastropoda: Oxychilidae) in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Research Note.

Abstract

Oxychilus draparnaudi (H. Beck, 1837), a land snail commonly known as Draparnaud’s Glass Snail, Darkbodied Glass Snail, or Blue Glass Snail, is a species with a wide distribution range. It is originally native to central, southern, and western Europe, British Islands, Iberian Peninsula, and Southwest Scandinavia. For this study, specimens of Oxychilus draparnaudi were collected at the Bioparque (formerly Jardin Zoológico) in the city of La Plata. In addition, the use of the free-access platform iNaturalist allowed for a community and collaborative survey of the presence of Oxychilus draparnaudi in Argentina, increasing its known distribution area in the Buenos Aires province beyond the localities of the Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA).
