Abstract

Eleven species of Coelocentrum (GASTROPODA, PULMONATA Urocoptidae) are recorded from northeastern México. Species recognition is most compatible with the evolutionary species concept. Three subgenera occur in the area (Coelocentrum s. s., Ptychodonta and Crossostephanus). The latter two subgenera are redefined; Coelocentrum (Crossostephanus) palmeri Dall and Bartsch, 1908 is described; C. hinkleyi, Pilsbly, 1909 is transferred from Coelocentrum (s. s.) to Crossostephanus and is figured for the first time. The following new species are described: Coelocentrum (s. s.) penion, new species; Coelocentrum (Ptychodonta) telescopium, new species; Coelocentrum (Ptychodonta) brachyacron, new species; Coelocentrum (Crossostephanus) affinis, new species; Coelocentrum (Crossostephanus) priosculpta, new species; Coelocentrum (Crossostephanus) paucinoda, new species, and Coelocentrum (Crossostephanus) torosum, new species.
