ABSTRACT
In 2019, an extensive survey of the terrestrial gastropods from the Un poco del Chocó Nature Reserve (UPDC) was conducted, in order to assess the gastropod biodiversity and collect some preliminary data on their ecology. During this study, many new and poorly known taxa were found. This paper is the first dedicated to describing the gastropods from UPDC, starting with the Helicinidae. Helicina ecuadoriana K. Miller, 1879 and Bourciera intermedia Roosen & Dorado, 2022 are reported for the first time from UPDC. In addition, the genus Alcadia (Microalcadia) is reported from Ecuador for the first time and one species, Alcadia (Microalcadia) chocoensis sp. nov., is introduced as new to science. Hopefully this paper will enable further research in the gastropods of North-West Ecuador and help in protecting its unique fauna.
