- Abstract
This paper reviews the genus Bellardiella Tapparone-Canefri, 1883. Two new species are described, Bellardiella kovacsi new species, from West Papua, and Bellardiella (Szekeresia) saparuana new species, from Maluku. Bellardiella kovacsi is most similar to B. fabula Benthem-Jutting, 1963, and B. martensiana Tapparone-Canefri, 1883, but differs from them in the shell shape, and the formation of the aperture and the peristomal lip. Bellardiella (Szekeresia) saparuana new species differs from B. (S.) ceramica (von Martens 1864) by the thicker peristome, the shorter angular tube, and the oblique plane of the aperture to the shell axis, and the elevated lamina on the outer surface of the operculum. A neotype of B. crassilabris Möllendorff, 1899 is designated. A new subgenus (Szekeresia n. subgen.) characterised by the presence of an angular tube in the upper (parieto-palatal) edge of the aperture is also proposed here, and comprises the following species: Rhaphaulus ceramicus von Martens, 1864 (type species), Bellardiella (Szekeresia) saparuana new species, and Bellardiella lissochila Benthem-Jutting, 1963.
