Miocene Continental Gastropods from the Southern Margin of the Swabian Alb (Baden-Württemberg, SW Germany)
N. Jb. Geol. Paläont. Abh. 287/1 (2018), 17–44 Article E Stuttgart, January 2018 Miocene continental gastropods from the southern margin of the Swabian Alb (Baden-Württemberg, SW Germany) Olaf Höltke, Rodrigo B. Salvador, and Michael W. Rasser With 6 figures Abstract: The Middle Miocene silvana-beds outcropping at the southern margin of the Swabian Alb bear a wide array of terrestrial and freshwater gastropods. Especially in the surroundings of the Emerberg and Tautschbuch hills, there are records of several collection sites. In the present work, we investigated material from the historical localities from these two regions, housed in museum collec- tions, in order to provide an updated check list, synthesizing the knowledge of the region in the hopes to spur renewed interest. In total, we report 14 freshwater and 50 land snail species from the area, but not all species reported in the literature could be confirmed.

The semi-quantitative University, B.P 133, 14000, surveys carried out between September 2002 and December 2005 has focused on four selected stations in Kenitra, Morocco. the permanent pond. The choice of these stations was based on the molluscan data available, physical Mohamed Fadli structure of the pond, structure associated vegetation, species diversity in each station and the maximum Laboratory of Biodiversity and coverage area of the pond. Nine species of freshwater molluscs were collected in the malacological Animal Resources, Ibn Tofail survey. The specific diversity of aquatic snails are positively correlated with the heterogeneity and University, B.P 133, 14000, complexity of natural vegetation and type of substrate of the temporary pond. The physical structure of Kenitra, Morocco. the permanent pond is recognized to have an important influence on the density and composition of species communities.

Gastropoda, Prosobranchia)
BASTERIA, 64: 151-163, 2000 The genus Alzoniella Giusti & Bodon, 1984, in France. 1 West European Hydrobiidae, 9 (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia) Hans+D. Boeters Karneidstrasse 8, D 81545 Munchen, Germany In France the genusAlzoniella Giusti & Bodon, 1984, is represented with two subgenera, viz. its nominate subgenus and Navarriella subgen. nov. The nominate subgenus comprises six three species, ofwhich are described as viz. A. haicabia A. new, (A.) spec. nov., (A.) junqua spec. A. nov. and A. (A.) provincialis spec. nov., next to (A.) navarrensis Boeters, 1999, A. (A.) perrisii and A. (Dupuy, 1851) (A.) pyrenaica (Boeters, 1983). The new subgenus is proposed for A. (Navarriella) elliptica (Paladilhe, 1874) only. A. (A.) perrisii (Dupuy, 1851) [Hydrobia], the first of this became known from is redefined and species genus that France, described here with two viz. A. and A. subspecies, (A.) p. perrisii (A.) p. irubensis subspec. nov. Key words: Gastropoda, Prosobranchia, Hydrobiidae, Alzoniella (Alzoniella) and Alzoniella (Navarriella), France. INTRODUCTION Giusti & Bodon (1984: 169) described Alzoniella for three eyeless, subterranean, hy- drobiid species from Italy, that might have evolved from small populations that locally survived the Quaternary glaciations. It turned out that Alzoniella is also represented in where mountain inhabited France, regions are that have partially been subject to gla- ciations, viz. the Pyrenees and the MediterraneanAlps. In these regions too, populations ofancestral have Alzoniella might survived locally by invading subterranean waters. This development apparently went less far than in for example Bythiospeum Bourguignat, 1882, andMoitessieria Bourguignat, 1863. Species of these two genera, which are eyeless stygobionts, occur not only in karstic waters, but also in the interstitium and in subter- ranean waters bordering river valleys such as that of the Rhone river (Boeters & Miiller be found 1992). -
Change of Status and Name for a Hawaiian

C HRISteNSeN 2 Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawaiʻi 96817-2704, USA; email: [email protected] the freshwater limpet heretofore known as Ferrissia sharpi (Sykes, 1900) was described as Ancylus sharpi from material collected on the Island of O‘ahu (Sykes 1900). the dis - cussion of the species by Hubendick (1967) added little new information, but by the end of the 20th century it had been reported from the islands of Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi in addition to its type locality (Cowie et al. 1995; Cowie 1997). Recent surveys of Hawaiian stream fauna have recorded it from numerous localities on those islands and have added the islands of Moloka‘i and Maui to its known range within the state of Hawaiʻi (englund & Godwin 2002; englund & Preston 2002; Anthony et al . 2004; Brasher et al. 2004; Parham et al . 2008). Ferrissia sharpi has been a cryptogenic species in the Hawaiian fauna as its status as native or introduced has been unclear. Most recent authors have regarded its status as uncertain (Cowie et al. 1995; Cowie 1997, 1998; englund & Godwin 2002; englund & Preston 2002; Ziegler 2002; Anthony et al . 2004; Brasher et al. 2004), but Parham et al. -

LES NOMS SCIENTIFIQUES FRANÇAIS DES MOLLUSQUES CONTINENTAUX DE FRANCE : processus d’ÉtABLISSEMENT d’une LISTE DE RÉFÉRENCE Benoît FONTAINE 1, Jean-Michel BICHAIN 2, Xavier CUCHERAT 3, Olivier GAR G OMINY 4 & Vincent PRIÉ 5 SUMMARY. — French scientific names of continental molluscs of France: process for establishing a list of reference. — In the biodiversity crisis context and with the increasing general awareness on this issue, conservation of small and poorly-known species is hampered by the fact they only have latine names. In order to communicate for biodiversity conservation, having French names is an advantage which is lacking in terrestrial and freshwater molluscs from France. To remedy this problem, we propose a list of French scientific names for this group, i.e. all species and subspecies known from France. We have listed existing names in legal documents, in usage and in the 18th and 19th centuries scientific literature. The resulting list being incomplete, we had to create new French names, following a series of recommendations adapted from similar works dealing with other taxonomic groups. We conclude by dealing with the issue of the legitimacy and validity of such names. The list of French scientific names is given as an appendix and is downloadable from internet. RÉSUMÉ. — Dans le contexte de la crise de la biodiversité et de la prise de conscience par le grand public des enjeux environnementaux, la conservation des espèces petites et méconnues est handicapée par le fait que ces espèces ne peuvent être désignées que par leur nom latin. Dans une optique de communication pour la préservation de la biodiversité, disposer de nom français est un atout qui fait défaut pour les mol- lusques terrestres et d’eau douce de France. -

Corregido 14-II-2007. Aceptado 27-VII-2007. Abstract: Latin American Malacology. Freshwater Mollusks from Argentina. A report and an updated list with comments on the species of freshwater molluscs of Argentina which covers an area of 2 777 815 km2 is presented. Distributions of Gastropoda and Bivalvia families, endemic, exotic, invasive as well as entities of sanitary importance are also studied and recommendations on their conservation are provided. Molluscs related to the Del Plata Basin have been thoroughly studied in comparison to others areas of the country. This fauna exhibits relatively the biggest specific richness and keeps its affinity with the fauna of other regions of the basin in areas of Paraguay and Brasil. The 4 500 records of molluscs considered in this paper arise from the study of the collections of Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires; Museo de La Plata, La Plata and Fundación “Miguel Lillo”, Tucumán. These institutions keep very important collections of molluscs in southern South America. Field information has recently been obtained and localities cited by other authors are also included in the data base. Until today, 166 species have been described, 101 belonging to 10 families of Gastropoda and 65 to 7 of Bivalvia. -
Aplexa Hypnorum (Gastropoda: Physidae) Exerts Competition on Two Lymnaeid Species in Periodically Dried Ditches

The introduction of A. hypnorum into each ditch was followed by the progressive coloni- zation of the entire habitat by the physid and progressive reduction of the portion occupied by the lymnaeid towards the upstream extremity of the ditch. Moreover, the size of the lymnaeid population decreased significantly over the 7-year period, with values noted in 2008 that were significantly lower than those recorded in 2002. In contrast, the mean densities were relatively stable in the sites only occupied by G. truncatula or O. glabra. Laboratory investigations were also carried out by placing juvenile, intermediate or adult physids in aquaria in the presence of juvenile, intermediate or adult G. truncatula (or O. glabra) for 30 days. The life stage of A. hypnorum had a significant influence on the survival of each lymnaeid. In snail combinations, this survival was significantly lower for adult G. truncatula (or O. -

Physidae, a world-wide family of freshwater snails with about 90-100 species, have been difficult to classify for some 200 years. Reasons are the lack of shell characters and lack of morphological study. Thus identifications based on shells ar е often at variance with those founded on morphology, and published information from most of the world is unreliable as to the species named. Studies going beyond shell features began with the work by M ьller [I], one of the first monographs of a mollusc species, illustrating the mantle projections in Physa fontinalis, Modem study began with description by Slugocka of the reproductive systems of the three species of Switzerland, including histological sections as well as gross morphology. Her conclusion [2:104] that the penis is a well-defined organ with characteristic shape in each species has not been val- ued sufficiently. -

Molecular studies on their relationships confirmed the distinctness of this family. Their monophyly, however, remained doubtful, since the Moitessieriidae did not form a distinct clade in the phylogenetic tree based on the most commonly applied mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), and the representative of the family Cochliopidae occupied a position among the moitessieriid clades. In the present paper two new nuclear loci, namely histone H3 gene and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ITS2, have been applied to resolve the status of the Moitessieriidae.
