Key words: Acrorbis petricola - Antillorbis nordestensis - Biomphalaria intermedia - B. oligoza - B. orbignyi - B. peregrina - B. straminea - B. tenagophila - Drepanotrema anatinum - D. cimex - D. depressissimum - D. heloicum - D. kermatoides - D. lucidum - Lymnaea columella - L. viatrix - Physa acuta - P. marmorata - synonymy - Argentina

This paper is based on material collected by the author during several trips to Argentina, one of which, from March 13 to May 18, 1973, was supported by the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas of that country and the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas of Brazil as executive agencies of the Brazil-Argentina Agreement on Scientific Cooperation.

The specimens were killed and preserved as described elsewhere (Paraense 2003). Voucher specimens are deposited in the Malacological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute.
