Resumen
A definition of Biomphalaria helophila (Orbigny, 1835) is presented, based on examination of the
shell and reproductive system of topotypic specimens and extended to a number of samples from other
localities. The following nominal species and subspecies, collected from type localities, proved junior
synonyms of B. helophila: Planorbis albicans Pfeiffer, 1839; Planorbis dentatus Gould, 1844; Planorbis
dentiferus CB Adams, 1845; Planorbis dentiferus edentatus CB Adams, 1851; Planorbis dentiens Morelet,
1849; Planorbula dentiens edentula Fischer & Crosse, 1880; Planorbis stagnicola Morelet, 1851; and
Tropicorbis shimeki FC Baker, 1945.
B. helophila was also identified in samples from Costa Rica, Guatemala, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Barbados.
