Plant trade and exchange for horticulture, recreation or research play a significant role in the dispersal of molluscs. Alien slugs and snails accidentally introduced into Europe have established rich communities in several countries, but although these introductions could have ecological and economic implications, mollusc xenodiversity in Italian botanical gardens, plant nurseries, and greenhouses has never been investigated. Facilities throughout the country were therefore visited between 2017 and 2023. Here the list of the achatinoidean species so far recorded from Italian greenhouses is provided, giving a short description of their diagnostic characters. The greenhouses of Trento and Padua host interesting assemblages of achatinoideans: the results of this study include the first reports of four achatinids, namely , , and from Italy and the first record of from Europe. Reproductive anatomy of all species except is illustrated in detail, integrating anatomical knowledge of this group of tiny molluscs, some of which are known mainly from their shell characters. The systematics of all the species is discussed, highlighting topics for future research (e.g., status of , real identity of , anatomy of , species-level taxonomy of , systematic relationships and species-level taxonomy of ).
用于园艺、休闲或研究的植物贸易和交换在软体动物的传播中起着重要作用。意外引入欧洲的外来蛞蝓和蜗牛在几个国家形成了丰富的群落,但尽管这些引入可能具有生态和经济影响,但意大利植物园、植物苗圃和温室中的软体动物外来生物多样性从未得到过调查。因此,在2017年至2023年期间走访了该国各地的设施。这里提供了迄今为止从意大利温室中记录到的玛瑙螺科物种清单,并对它们的诊断特征进行了简要描述。特伦托和帕多瓦的温室中有有趣的玛瑙螺科动物群落:这项研究的结果包括四种玛瑙螺属物种首次在意大利被报道,即 、 、 和 ,以及 首次在欧洲被记录。除 外,所有物种的生殖解剖结构都有详细说明,整合了这一类微小软体动物的解剖学知识,其中一些主要是根据它们的壳特征为人所知。讨论了所有物种的系统分类,突出了未来研究的主题(例如, 的地位、 的真实身份、 的解剖结构、 的物种水平分类、 的系统关系和物种水平分类)。
