The land snails inhabiting the limestone highlands in Cuba are poorly known. From field surveys, traditional collection catalogues, and the literature, we list 136 species, 49 genera and 19 families, 90% of the species endemic to Cuba; only five species are non-indigenous of the Cuban archipelago. Annulariidae and Urocoptidae are the most represented families, and Chondrothyra and Liocallonia are the genera with the highest number of species. Forty-four species of this list were absent from the consulted collections. We provide 16 new records of species in localities of the region; and 12 species seem to have become locally extinct.
生活在古巴石灰岩高地的陆地蜗牛鲜为人知。通过实地调查、传统采集目录和文献,我们列出了136种、49属和19科,其中90%的物种为古巴特有;只有5种不是古巴群岛本土物种。环口螺科和加勒比螺科是种类最多的科,软骨螺属和丽口螺属是物种数量最多的属。该清单中有44种在查阅的收藏中没有。我们提供了该地区16个新的物种记录;还有12种似乎已在当地灭绝。
