    abstract = "A combined approach of mitochondrial large subunit ribosomal RNA (lrRNA)
sequence analysis and cladistic analysis of morphological characters was
used in an effort to test previously proposed hypotheses on the taxonomy
and phylogeny of certain taxa within the land snail family Clausiliidae.
Ten populations belonging to three clausiliid subfamilies were examined,
focusing mainly on the Alopiinae. Special consideration was given to the
Graciliaria-type clausiliar apparatus (GCA), whose homoplasious
character is confirmed: the two approaches give congruent results after
its exclusion. The present analysis indicates that phylogenetic
relations, at least within the Alopiinae, have to be reexamined. In view
of the above, a new classification for certain taxa is proposed."
