www.15yan.com/story/0ZpaGMACzBL/Snake-looked snail is the Chinese name of Pseudiberus.Luckily, Shandong Province ,mianland China where I'm living is a place that Pseudiberus gather .But they're not always looking like snake .They can looke like Cathaica.The picture below will show you that . Cathaica fasciola(Draparnaud),1801,collected in Zaozhuang,Shandong Pseudiberus futtereri (Andreae),1903, collected in Zaozhuang,Shandong You can see that they are very similar ,however,they are belong to different genus .In order to make peopele konw about this kind of snails ,I creat a topic called Pseudiberus on wikipedia.As the topic said 'The two subgenera Pseudiberus and Platypetasus were synonymized in the study published in 2006 by Min Wu and Gang Qi, because their genital characters and their distribution range largely overlap.' Fortunately,I've been taught by Min Wu .He is very kind to me,also,I have to thank the help offered by Xiaopeng Huang.Well,I've colleted six snails named pseudiberus anderssoni depressa(T.Yen),1935.This time of collecting is the first time to find pseudiberus anderssoni depressa in 1949.So we are very lucky to see them . And I've collected a kind of snail which seems like chip. collected in Jinan ,Shandong

Pseudiberus tectumsinense is quite an interesting one. Right , it's very funny . And I have learned that Euro has a similar genus Iberus .The shape of that genus is similar to Pseudiberus's . |

Right, it's very funny. And I have learned that Euro has a similar genus Iberus. The shape of that genus is similar to Pseudiberus's.  (Source: Wikipedia - Iberus gualtieranus) Found this little cutie while looking up the genus - it's a species of Iberus that is endemic to southern Spain. The flat design of the shell is a nifty little adaptation which means they can hide more skillfully in the rocky crevices of their mountainous habitat in order to escape predators or drought! Sadly, this adaptation isn't enough to protect it from human activities; it holds an endangered status due to a combination of threats such as loss of habitat, consumption increase, fires, motorways construction, etc. If you want to read more about it the IUCN Red List has an online and downloadable version of their assessment summary here. |

The terrible news is Pseudiberus anderssoni depressa(T.Yen),1935 what I found are found only in my hometown . But nobody test them . The habition of them is very similar to Iberus gualtieranus, they like hiding themselves among rocks . Here are their living pictures.       |
