Listed in GBIF
Description
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Das, Nipu Kumar, Aravind, Neelavar Ananthram (2026): New species of Georissa (Gastropoda: Hydrocenidae) and Acmella (Gastropoda: Assimineidae), with new records of Georissa from Northeast India. European Journal of Taxonomy 1060: 1-27, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2026.1060.3284, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3284/14486 Abstract.
The present study describes one new species each of Georissa and Acmella from Northeast India. Georissa meghalayaensis sp. nov. and Acmella bensoni sp. nov. are described from Krem Puri, Meghalaya. In addition, Georissa sp. was newly recorded from a soil-leaf litter sample collected at the Sadu Chiru waterfall area in Manipur, and Georissa sarrita was newly recorded from Tuipui in Mizoram.

All species were identified based on morphological features, with shell sculpture and suture being the primary distinguishing characters. Notably, all the species from Meghalaya were found inside caves, except for Georissa meghalayaensis (Krem Puri), which was found at the edge of the cave entrance on a wet, moss-covered rocky wall. Further studies are required to confirm the true cavernicolous nature of these microsnails.
