Molecular Species Delimitation of the Genus Reishia (Mollusca: Gastropoda) along the Coasts of China and Korea

Species of the predatory gastropod genus Reishia Kuroda and Habe, 1971 (Muricidae) inhabit intertidal rocky shores in East Asia. Due to their highly variable external shell morphology, the taxonomy of this genus at species-level is still in need of re-evaluation. Using DNA-based delimitation methods, we aimed to ascertain the number of species of Reishia along the coasts of China and adjacent Asian areas. Also, we looked for diagnostic traits...
