Howard Frank of the University of Florida maintains the webpage below, which also links to the page of Dr Anne Zillikens, Bromeliad Fauna in Brazil. The Frank et al. summary article in the June 2004 FL Entomologist did not report land snail species, but possibly Frank <[log in to unmask]> might be able to put one in touch with someone who did know about a land snail relationship.
The 1913 classic by Picado "Les bromeliacees epiphytes considerees comme milieu biologique" Bull.Sci.France Belique 47:215-360 is basically a listing, does not discuss relationships. When searching the literature for our museum's 3-dimensional re-creation of a large tank bromeliad and its fauna, I was able to find the following names listed Drymaeus attenuatus, Helicina funcki, Hyalina stolli.

Sorry, I am looking for information about the relationship between land
snails and Bromeliaceae (epiphit plants).
Could someone help me with some web site, PDF, word documents or other ?
thanks in advance,
