Pseudiberus is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Bradybaenidae,[2] inhabiting in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and Shanxi Provinces.[3] Platypetasus Pilsbry, 1894[4] was previously considered as synonyms of Pseudiberus,[5] however Zhang et al. (2024)[3] corrected it via phylogenetics based on morphology and molecules.

Taxonomy

[edit]

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.[5]

Distribution

[edit]

These terrestrial snails inhabit Eastern Asia.

Ecology

[edit]

These snails live under old stones and in forests. They eat plants.
