Abstract
A new species from Bolivia of the neotropical genus Solaropsis is described and illustrated using morphological characters from the shell, reproductiv e, pallial, nervous, and digestive systems. The new species is compared in detail with species of the genus with known anatomy. Solaropsis chicomendes i, sp.nov. is distinguished on the basis of its shell aperture, sculpture, and anatomical characters, mainly those of the penial complex in the reprod uctive system.
