Abstract
The genital system of G. depressispira was found to be of the generalized pulmonate pattern. Points of difference from more complex stylommatophoran genital systems are discussed. Evidence of a seasonal breeding rhythm based on seasonal rainfall, and of a form of protandry is given and discussed.Keywords
