Transference of the monotypic genus Parodizia Medina from Bithyniidae Gray (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia) to Pyramidellidae Gray (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia)

Abstract

The transference of the monotypic genus Parodizia Medina, 1959 from Bithyniidae (Prosobranchia) to Pyramidellidae (Heterobranchia) is proposed. The proposal is based on some morphological data of P. uruguayensis Medina, 1959 from Tramandaí river basin, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
