  • Dos géneros nuevos de caracoles terrestres (Stylommatophora: Arionacea) de Chile Patricio Vargas-Almonacid José R. Stuardo Biología Punctidae Pulmonata Charopidae land snails Micromollusca Two new genera of land snails (Stylommatophora: Arionacea) from Chile. We describe two newgenera of land molluscs found under wet leaf litter in isolated fragments of a secondary native forest at theHualpén Botanical Park (36º45´-36º49´ S, 73º9´-73º13´ W), University of Concepción, Chile. The new taxa arePichikadi gen.n., of Punctidae, and Chellius gen.n., of Charopidae, with the following new species: Pichikadihualpensis sp.n., and Chellius piramidalis sp.n. English diagnosis are presented for all taxa, together with anEnglish identification key and English versions of figure captions and table headings. To facilitate subsequentstudies and interpretations, we follow recent authors in using mainly shell characters, an approach that hasfavored the present taxonomic stability of the world’s land micromollusca. The diagnosis and observations arecomplemented with a key for the species of these families inhabiting continental Chile. Rev. Biol. Trop. 55 (2):693-708.
