Before 2005, the snails in this genus were all thought to belong to one species, which was known as Crepidula aculeata, the spiny slipper snail.[1] However, morphological and DNA sequence data show that the spiny slipper snails are a monophyletic group that is more closely related to Crepipatella than it is to Crepidula.
Taxonomy
editTaxonomic history
editAll of the species within the genus Bostrycapulus were previously assigned to a single species, Crepidula aculeata.[1] However, molecular phylogenetic and anatomical work have shown them to be a separate monophyletic grouping or clade, which has elevated them to the genus status.[1] DNA sequence data has also been used in combination with embryological observations to distinguish 8 species.[1]
Species
editSpecies within the genus Bostrycapulus include:
- Bostrycapulus aculeatus (Gmelin, 1791)[1] - type species
- Bostrycapulus calyptraeformis (Deshayes, 1830)[1]
- Bostrycapulus gravispinosus (Kuroda and Habe, 1950)[1]
- Bostrycapulus heteropoma Collin & Rolán, 2010[4]
- Bostrycapulus latebrus Collin, 2005[1]
- Bostrycapulus odites Collin, 2005[1]
- Bostrycapulus pritzkeri Collin, 2005[1]
