BULLETIN (Mailed to Financial Members of the Society Within Victoria) Price 50¢ EDITOR Val Cram
THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALASIA Inc. VICTORIAN BRANCH BULLETIN (Mailed to financial members of the Society within Victoria) Price 50¢ EDITOR Val Cram. Tel. No. 9792 9163 ADDRESS: 6 Southdean Street, Dandenong, Vic. 3175 Conus marmoreus Linne EMAIL: [email protected] VIC. BR. BULL. NO. 269 JUNE/JULY 2013 NOTICE OF MEETING The next meeting of the Branch will be held on the 17th June at the Melbourne Camera Club Building, cnr. Dorcas & Ferrars Sts South Melbourne at 8pm. This will be a Member’s night. Raffles & Supper as usual. There will be no meeting in July. A Bulletin will be issued prior to the August meeting which will be held on the 19th. At the April meeting we welcomed Caitlin Woods, PR Officer for the Malacological Society of Australasia. We discussed with her our role in the society and she offered any assistance she could to promote our branch to further the study of molluscs in Victoria. Jack Austin advises, with considerable regret, that he must dispose of his shell collection as his intended successor-grandson has opted for a volunteer career overseas and will not have a house in Australia for some years. Jack is a part-sponsor of this venture and will sell-off what he can of the collection to raise funds for his grandson. The collection is fairly extensive world-wide, about 7,000 lots, emphasising GBR, SE Australia, NT, Pacific lslands. All lots are registered - lists of families or places can be supplied.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA. E-mail: jamesgoedert@outlook. com Recent and fossil global scissurellids were monographed by Geiger (2012) and additional species were recently described from Brazil (Pimenta & Geiger 2015). Here, we describe an additional fossil species from shallow water strata of the late Eocene Gries Ranch Formation in Lewis County, Washington State, USA. Marine molluscan fossils were first described from exposures of the Gries Ranch Formation along the Cowlitz River more than 100 years ago (Dickerson 1917; Van Winkle 1918) and monographed 80 years ago by Effinger (1938). Since then, many studies have included molluscan taxa from the Gries Ranch fauna (e.g., Dell’Angelo et al. 2011; Goedert & Raines 2016, and references therein). Deposition of the Gries Ranch Formation likely occurred under subtropical condi- tions (Dickerson 1917; Van Winkle 1918) at depths of less than 100 m according to Effinger (1938), although Hickman (1984) has suggested that the Gries Ranch fauna may have been transported into deep water. -

SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIOXS. 227 AEEANGEMENT FAMILIES OF MOLLUSKS. PREPARED FOR THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION BY THEODORE GILL, M. D., Ph.D. WASHINGTON: PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, FEBRUARY, 1871. ^^1 I ADVERTISEMENT. The following list has been prepared by Dr. Theodore Gill, at the request of the Smithsonian Institution, for the purpose of facilitating the arrangement and classification of the Mollusks and Shells of the National Museum ; and as frequent applica- tions for such a list have been received by the Institution, it has been thought advisable to publish it for more extended use.

The want of a complete and consistent list of the principal subdivisions of the mollusks having been experienced for some time, and such a list being at length imperatively needed for the arrangement of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the present arrangement has been compiled for that purpose. It must be considered simply as a provisional list, embracing the results of the most recent and approved researches into the systematic relations and anatomy of those animals, but from which innova- tions and peculiar views, affecting materially the classification, have been excluded. -

HICKMAN University of California, Department of Integrative Biology, 3060 VLSB, Berkeley, CA 94720-3140, USA, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Light traps, undisturbed sediment cores and emergence traps were used to pursue new knowledge of the biology of poorly-known microgastropods. These tools were used specifi cally to explore novel habitats, behavior and function. The most interesting discoveries include signifi cant interstitial populations of species previously considered rare, including epipsammic browsers and taxa that emerge from the sediment at night. Diel activity patterns include movement between sediment and water column, movement between sediment and marine plants, vertical migrations on marine plants, and movement between plants and plant epiphytes. Unsuspected behavioral correlates include active swimming and mass spawning aggregations and drifting and fl oating using mucus threads to launch into the water column from marine plants or the sides of aquaria. Ciliary locomotion is a convergent theme in microgastropods, with new examples from vetigastro- pod and neritopsine species that also use mucus threads in drifting. At the sediment-water interface, upside-down ciliary locomotion in the surface tension may be combined with feeding on the rich microbial ecosystem concentrated at the air-water interface. Key Words: light traps, emergence traps, infauna, interstitial fauna, stygofauna, rafting, drifting, diel vertical migrations, epipsammic browsing, ciliary locomotion Introduction “Prosobranch” gastropod diversity is concentrated at small shell and body sizes (< 5 mm) among the so-called microgastropods. -

E-mail: [email protected] 2Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, P.O. Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand. E-mail [email protected] Abstract Thirteen new species of Scissurellidae (Scissurella regalis n. sp., Sinezona mechanica n. sp., Sinezona platyspira n. sp., Sinezona enigmatica n. sp., Sinezona wanganellica n. sp., Satondella azonata n. sp., Satondella bicristata n. sp.), Anatomidae (Anatoma amydra n. sp., Anatoma kopua n. sp., Anatoma megascutula n. sp., Anatoma tangaroa n. sp.), and Larocheidae (Larochea spirata n. sp., Larocheopsis macrostoma n. sp.) are described, all of which occur in New Zealand waters. The greatest geographic source of new taxa is the islands and underwater features off northern New Zealand. The new shell-morphological term “sutsel” is introduced for the area between the SUTure and the SELenizone. Keywords: new species, shell, radula, New Zealand, Indo-Malayan Archipelago Introduction The molluscan fauna of New Zealand is relatively well-known, based on the monographs by Powell (1979), and the inventories by Spencer & Willan (1995) and Spencer et al. (2009, 2011). The scissurellids have received some recent attention by Marshall (1993, 2002). Extensive collecting in the New Zealand region and large scale sediment sorting (by B.A.M.) over the last 35 years have yielded over 20,000 specimens of scissurellids and anatomids, including a number of undescribed species, which are here described. -
The Coastal Marine Mollusc Fauna of King Island, Tasmania
Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 148, 2014 17 THE COASTAL MARINE MOLLUSC FAUNA OF KING ISLAND, TASMANIA by Simon Grove and Robert de Little (with one text-figure, one plate, one table and an appendix) Grove, S & de Little, R. 2014 (19:xii: The coastal marine mollusc fauna of King Island, Tasmania.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 148: 17–42. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.148.17 ISSN 0080-4703. Rosny Collections and Research Facility, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, GPO Box 1164, Hobart Tasmania 7001 (SG*); PO Box 683, Port Arthur Tasmania 7182 (RdL). *Author for correspondence. Email: [email protected] The findings of a week-long survey of coastal marine molluscs around King Island are documented. In total, 408 species were recorded, 78 for the first time. King Island appears to be the only Tasmanian outpost for 44 species. Only two non-native species were found. A number of usually distinct species-pairs or groups appear to form intergrades around King Island. Along the island’s east coast, beached shells belonging to Quaternary-era sub-fossils were found, not all of which are represented in the contemporary local fauna. Following critical examination of published sources and museum specimens, a checklist of King Island’s coastal marine mollusc fauna is presented, comprising 619 species. It is likely that many more local species await discovery and documentation. Key Words: Mollusca, King Island, Tasmania INTRODUCTION METHODS King Island sits in western Bass Strait at around 40°S and Field surveys and follow-up identification 144°E, and is a geographical outlier relative to the rest of Tasmania: it includes the westernmost shorelines in Tasmania, Twenty-one discrete localities were surveyed during 13–19 as well as some of the northernmost. -
Molecular Phylogeny of Basal Gastropods (Vetigastropoda) Shows Stochastic Colonization of Chemosynthetic Habitats at Least from the Mid Triassic

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A molecular phylogeny of 40 basal gastropod species representing 14 families (including eight species in four families from chemosynthetic habitats) was constructed, based on 3038 characters (Histone 3, COI, 18S). Unambiguous fossils indicated minimum ages of four major lineages. It suggests that chemosynthetic habitats were colonized several times independently and date back to at least the mid Triassic. Keywords: Gastropods l Hydrothermal vent l Molecular phylogeny l Colonization l Triassic Introduction thetic lineages. We can analyze their relationships despite the fact that the membership of Vetigastropoda is not yet Determining the age of taxa living at chemosynthetic fully agreed upon. There is a broad consensus that habitats (hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale and wood Haliotidae (abalone), Scissurellidae (little slit shells), falls) is an interesting question. Several groups of Fissurellidae (key hole limpets), Pleurotomariidae (slit organisms are found in more than one chemosynthetic shells) and Trochoidea (top snails, turban snails) belong in habitat type, but are not know from either shallow water or Vetigastropoda. Some of the chemosynthetic groups the general deep sea. -

Scissurella Reticulata Philippi, 1853 Scissurella Scissurellidae
Remarks. The species is known only from the type lots. It is strikingly similar to Sin. platyspira, but the slit has parallel rather than convergent margins and the axial lamellae extend almost to the selenizone rim on the last half whorl. The crowding of the axial lamellae towards the apertural margin in the holotype indicates that it is a fully-grown specimen and not a juvenile of a Sinezona species, in which the foramen has yet to close. A comparable Scissurella-Sinezona pair is Sci. azorensis and Sin. semicostata from the Macaronesian Islands. Small specimens of Sci. regalis and Sin. platyspira may be indistinguishable based on shell morphology. Scissurella reticulata Philippi, 1853 Scissurella Scissurellidae Figures 180–184 Chresonymy.
