Abstract

The characteristic differentiation of the shell morphology and genitalia organs of the two native desert terrestrial snails Eremina desertorum desertorum (Forskål, 1775)and Eremina desertorum irregularis (Férussac, 1821) had been discussed in this article, showing the main characteristic aspects of the two taxa through the previous and recent literatures and studies of this genus. The two species are common widespread land snails that inhabit the desert of North Coast region of northern part of Egypt along the Mediterranean Sea, and considered as part of the natural ecosystem. These two taxa are different local subspecies where their morphological and anatomical descriptions are presented in this study.
