Shell ( Figures 3–5)

Globose-conical or oblong-conical; apex obtuse; with irregular growth lines, without incised spiral striae; corneous; usually brightly shining; subtranslucent; 2.75–3.5 inflated whorls separated by a deep suture; body whorl hardly or slightly descending towards the aperture, basally rounded; aperture truncate-rounded, edentate; peristome neither expanded nor reflexed nor thickened; columellar margin slightly dilated, hardly or partly covering the umbilicus; umbilicus taking 2–15% of the shell breadth. Shell measurements and ratios are listed in Tables I and II.

Remarks

Pupisoma comicolense differs from P. mediamericanum in the on-average larger (diameter of the first two whorls of P. comicolense 0.90–1.05 mm; diameter of the first two whorls of P. mediamericanum 0.80–0.95 mm), smoother shell (see also P. mediamericanum ).

Specimens with 3.5 whorls are oblong-conical, whereas specimens with three or fewer whorls are globose-conical. In oblong-conical specimens the umbilicus usually takes less than 10% of the shell breadth, whereas in the globose forms it can be wider. Pupisoma latens Hylton Scott, 1960 from Argentina is such a globose form with a comparatively wide umbilicus. In an extreme form from San Miguel de Tucumán the umbilicus occupies 11– 15% of the shell breadth. The identity of the widely umbilicated forms from Argentina with P. comicolense should be checked with molecular genetic markers. Preliminarily, they are considered to be conspecific with P. comicolense , because there are apparently intermediate specimens between the extreme forms. No constant conchological differences have been found between P. galapagorum Pilsbry, 1934 from the Galapagos Islands, P. bailyi Pilsbry, 1934 from Mexico, and P. comicolense .

Pupisoma comicolense occurs sympatrically with P. dioscoricola , P. macneilli , P. mediamericanum , and P. costulata .

The anatomy of P. comicolense has been described by Baker (1928).

Distribution ( Figure 7 View Figure 7 )

Pupisoma comicolense is distributed in Central and South America from Mexico to the Galapagos Islands, southern Brazil, and northern Argentina. It is most frequent at medium and higher altitudes. Its altitudinal range extends from about 100 to 2600 m altitude.
