Resumen
COCHLIOPIDAE TRYON, 1866 IS A DIVERSE FAMILY OF CAENOGASTROPODS THAT LIVES IN A WIDE VARIETY OF AQUATIC HABITATS PRIMARILY IN THE NEW WORLD (HERSHLER T STUARDO, 1961; VALDOVINOS 2006) BUT ACCORDING TO ANATOMICAL STUDIES AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS THE MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE BEEN REASSIGNED TO THE GENUS HELEOBIA STIMPSON, 1865 (HERSHLER & THOMPSON 1992; COLLADO ET AL . 2011A; KROLL ET AL . 2012; COLLADO ET AL . 2013; COLLADO ET AL . 2016). HERE WE FORMALLY DESCRIBE A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS HELEOBIA FROM SPRING 1 IN THE CARCOTE SALTPAN, CHILEAN ALTIPLANO, BASED ON MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS. SNAILS FROM THIS LOCALITY WERE PREVIOUSLY SHOWN TO BE DISTINCT BASED ON DNA SEQUENCES (COLLADO ET AL . 2013; COLLADO ET AL . 2016).
