摘要：
该puillidae形成北美东部的土地蜗牛生物多样性的重要组成部分，代表约。整个动物群的12%，区域尺度上所有物种和个体的25-75%，至少30%的物种多样性，以及任何给定地点内33%的个体。在某些地区，瞳螺类占软体动物多样性的80-100%，特别是在针叶林、苔原和东南沿海平原的碱贫松树稀树草原和pocosins。因此，北美陆蜗牛生物多样性的充分记录需要调查人员有效地收集和准确地识别这一群体的个体。本文提出了一套注释的检索表，在这个科已知发生在北美东部的落基山脉的65种。区别的分类学特征，更新的县规模的范围地图，和生态条件的青睐，每个人都提出了希望在这个重要的群体刺激未来的研究。
Abstract:
The Pupillidae form an important component of eastern North American land snail biodiversity, representing approx. 12% of the entire fauna, 25–75% of all species and individuals at regional scales, at least 30% of the species diversity, and 33% of individuals within any given site. In some regions pupillids represent 80–100% of total molluscan diversity within sites, notably in taiga, tundra, and the base-poor pine savannas and pocosins of the southeastern coastal plain. Adequate documentation of North American land snail biodiversity thus requires investigators to efficiently collect and accurately identify individuals of this group. This paper presents a set of annotated keys to the 65 species in this family known to occur in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. The distinguishing taxonomic features, updated county-scale range maps, and ecological conditions favored by each are presented in hopes of stimulating future research in this important group.
