Title in Portuguese
Análise morfológica comparativa de uma amostra do "complexo Echinolittorina ziczac" (Gastropoda, Littorinidae) da costa ocidental do Atlântico
Keywords in Portuguese
"Complexo de espécies"
Atlântico ocidental
Echinolittorina lineolata
Echinolittorina vermeiji
Echinolittorina ziczac
Littorinidae
Abstract in Portuguese
Foi estudada a morfologia de Echinolittorina lineolata, Echinolittorina ziczac e Echinolittorina vermeiji, pertencentes ao "complexo E. ziczac", das quais resultaram duas novas espécies, todas procedentes da costa oeste do Atlântico. Foi possível averiguar características morfológicas que diferenciam todas as espécies entre si. Diferenças foram encontradas principalmente nas seguintes estruturas: concha, com variação interespecífica; rádula, que apresentou diferenças entre as cinco espécies com destaque para a forma geral do dente raquidiano; pênis, com variações na glândula acessória e corpo peniano; osfrádio, destacando-se suas proporções e a presença ou ausência de pregas satélites; músculo columelar com comprimento muito variável e tentáculos, em relação à sua forma e tamanho. Ao se associar às conchas as características da morfologia interna, principalmente rádula e pênis, encontra-se um conjunto diagnóstico eficiente na determinação dessas espécies em Littorinidae.
Title in English
Comparative morphological analysis of part of "Echinolittorina ziczac complex" (Gastropoda, Littorinidae) from Western Atlantic

Abstract in English
The morphology of Echinolittorina lineolata, Echinolittorina ziczac and Echinolittorina vermeiji, all belonging to the "E. ziczac complex", is analyzed. The analysis resulted in two new species, all of them from the Atlantic west coast. It was possible to determine morphological characteristics that distinguish each species from eachother. Differences were mainly found in the following structures: shell, with interspecific variation; radula, which showed differences between the five species with emphasis on the general shape of the rachidian tooth; penis, with variations in the accessory gland and penile body; osphradium, highlighting its proportions and the presence or absence of secondary folds; columellar muscle with varied length and tentacles in relation to their size and shape. By associating shell features with internal morphology, especially the radula and penis, an efficient diagnostic set in the determination of these species in Littorinidae can be attained.
