Abstract AR

العديد من الاشكال المظهرية المختلفة من تحت الجنس البطني القدم Radix تمت دراستها مظهريا و تشريحيا من اماكن مختلفة من نهر كرمة على وهور الحمار وبعض البرك القريبة من نهر كرمة علي.

تظهر الدراسة الحالية على انه لا وجود حقيقي للنوع Lymnaea auricularia في منطقتنا وربما الانواع التالية: L.cor و L.gedrosiana و L.peregra canalifera و L.tenera euphratica من المحتمل أنها تمثل مجموعة تحت الجنس Radix في منطقة وادي الرافدين.

و مع ذلك فإنه يتطلب دراسات جينية لهذا الجنس الغامض في واادي الرافدين حتى تكتمل رؤيتنا عنه.

Abstract EN

Many different morphs of the subgenus Radix sp were morphologically and anatomically studied from different sites of Garmat Ali river, Al-Hammar marshes and some pools near Garmat Ali river.

The present study reveals that there is no real Lymnaea auricularia in Mesopotamia region, and possibly, L.

cor, L.

gedrosiana, L.

canalifera and L.

euphratica, represent the molluscs fauna of Mesopotamia.

However, the DNA sequences of this cryptic subgenus is required to complete our view about it.
