4. Genus Pupinella Gray, 1850 View in CoL
Pupinella Gray, 1850: 33. Kobelt 1902: 291. Egorov 2013: 9.
Type species.
Cyclostoma pupiniforme Sowerby I, 1842, by original designation.
Diagnosis.
Shell with funnel- or gutter-like [= umbilical passage in Varga and Páll-Gergely (2017)] anterior canal forming a tube opening at both ends, appearing as a slit when observed from apertural view that is widened or slightly widened on outer margin.
Differential diagnosis.
Pupinella is most similar to Pupina in shell shape and the presence of both teeth and canals, but differs in having an umbilical passage or a funnel-like anterior canal forming a tube opening at both ends (Fig. 10A View Figure 10 ; Varga and Páll-Gergely 2017). The comparison of the umbilical, columellar, and parietal views between Pupinella and Pupina is illustrated in Fig. 10 View Figure 10 .
Remarks.
The most comprehensive compilation of members of this genus could be traced back to Kobelt (1902). This genus has two subgenera, the nominotypical subgenus and Pupinopsis H. Adams, 1866 ( Kobelt 1902; Egorov 2013). The subgenus Pupinopsis is diagnosed with a presence of a posterior canal, as in the type species Pupinella swinhoei H. Adams, 1866 (see Hwang 2014: fig. 1g, h). On the other hand, the posterior canal is absent in the subgenus Pupinella , as in the type species Pupinella pupiniformis (Sowerby, 1842) (see Varga and Páll-Gergely 2017: fig. 1a-c). The taxonomic works on Pupinella are sporadic (e.g., van Benthem Jutting 1963; Ueng and Chiou 2004) and there has been no taxonomic revision of this genus since then. Three species formerly in Pupina from Vietnam are now allocated to this genus (see below), and all four species from mainland Southeast Asia would belong to the subgenus Pupinopsis . A synoptic view of all four Pupinella species is given in Fig. 11 View Figure 11 to provide the comparative size.
