| Abstract | ||||
| The detailed macro- and microscopic anatomy of the digestive system of the gastropod Cleopatra bulimoides has been yet described for the first time, and the results have been discussed with previous works of other related snails. The digestive system of the snail conforms with the basic plan of organization described for other members of the Cerithioidea. Particular stress has been laid upon specific or generic differences, if any, concerning the structure of the buccal mass, oesophagus, stomach, intestine, rectum and digestive glands. | ||||
