Drepanostoma helenae n. sp. is described from the non-marine Lower Pliocene of Balze di Caspreno (Siena, Italy). Analysis of the relationships of the new species has involved revision of the genus Protodrepanostoma Germain, 1929, and some species assigned to it. This suggested that Protodrepanostoma is a junior synonym of Drepanostoma Porro, 1838, and that some of the species recently assigned to Protodrepanostoma can be assigned to Drepanostoma. More research is required to allocate the other species, which are tentatively assigned to Helicodonta Férussac, 1821. D. helenae is the first species of the genus reported from the Neogene of Apennine Italy.

Abstract
Drepanostoma helenae n. sp. is described from the non-marine Lower Pliocene of Balze di Caspreno (Siena, Italy). Analysis of the relationships of the new species has involved revision of the genus Protodrepanostoma Germain, 1929, and some species assigned to it. This suggested that Protodrepanostoma is a junior synonym of Drepanostoma Porro, 1838, and that some of the species recently assigned to Protodrepanostoma can be assigned to Drepanostoma. More research is required to allocate the other species, which are tentatively assigned to Helicodonta Férussac, 1821. D. helenae is the first species of the genus reported from the Neogene of Apennine Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
