In Bahia, Brazil
Volume 52(40):515‑524, 2012 A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF CAVERNICOLOUS POMATIOPSIDAE (MOLLUSCA, CAENOGASTROPODA) IN BAHIA, BRAZIL 1 LUIZ RICARDO L. SIMONE ABSTRACT Spiripockia punctata is a new genus and species of Pomatiopsidae found in a cave from Serra Ramalho, SW Bahia, Brazil. The taxon is troglobiont (restricted to subterranean realm), and is characterized by the shell weakly elongated, fragile, translucent, normally sculptured by pus‑ tules with periostracum hair on tip of pustules; peristome highly expanded; umbilicus opened; radular rachidian with 6 apical and 3 pairs of lateral cusps; osphradium short, arched; gill filaments with rounded tip; prostate flattened, with vas deferens inserting subterminally; penis duct narrow and weakly sinuous; pallial oviduct simple anteriorly, possessing convoluted by‑ pass connecting base of bulged portion of transition between visceral and pallial oviducts with base of seminal receptacle; spermathecal duct complete, originated from albumen gland. The description of this endemic species may raise protective environmental actions to that cave and to the Serra Ramalho Karst area. Key-Words: Pomatiopsidae; Spiripockia punctata gen. nov. et sp. nov.; Brazil; Cave; Tro- globiont; Anatomy. INTRODUCTION An enigmatic tiny gastropod has been collected in caves from the Serra Ramalho Kars area, southwestern The family Pomatiopsidae is represented in the Bahia state, Brazil. It has a pretty, fragile, translucent Brazilian region by only two species of the genus Id‑ shell in such preliminary gross anatomy, which already iopyrgus Pilsbry, 1911 (Simone, 2006: 94). However, reveals troglobiont adaptations, i.e., depigmentation, the taxon is much richer in remaining mainland ar- lack of eyes and small size.

Adult and juveniles specimens of this freshwater limpet were collected in In the present paper we report for the first time the presence of point of occurrence of G. radiata in South America. As a result, the distributional range of this species is increased and the two temporary water bodies. This record represents the first report of this species in Argentina but also is the southernmost species richness of Ancylidae in Argentina is incremented to a total of seven species classified in four genera. The Ancylidae sensu latum are freshwater pulmonate snails, characterized by a pateliform shell. Ancylidae are cosmopolitan, and according to Santos (2003) there are seven genera in South America: Anisancylus Pilsbry, 1924; Gundlachia Pfeiffer, 1849; Hebetancylus Pilsbry, 1913; Uncancylus Pilsbry, 1913; Burnupia Walker, 1912; Ferrissia Walker, 1913 and Laevapex Walker, 1903. -

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. -

This paper shows a list of South American species based on literature revision and personal observations about systematic and morphology as well as some morphological, biological, ecological and paleontological data. Seven genera and at least thirteen good species are found: Anisancylus dutrae (Santos, 1994); Anisancylus obliquus (Broderip & Sowerby, 1832); Burnupia ingae Lanzer, 1991; Burnupia sp.; Ferrissia gentilis Lanzer, 1991; Ferrissia sp.; Gundlachia bakeri Pilsbry, 1913; Gundlachia radiata (Guilding, 1828); Gundlachia ticaga (Marcus & Marcus, 1962); Hebetancylus moricandi (d¿Orbigny, 1837); Laevapex sp.; Uncancylus concentricus (d´Orbigny, 1835) and Uncancylus crequii (Bavay, 1904). Gundlachia leucaspis (Ancey, 1901); Gundlachia lutzi Walker, 1925; Gundlachia saulcyana (Bourguignat, 1853); Hebetancylus philippianus (Biese, 1948); Laevapex vazi Santos, 1989; Uncancylus foncki (Philippi, 1866) and Uncancylus patagonicus (Biese, 1948) need to be revised. Anatomical data show that SouthAmericanancylids are not closed related to Ancylus fluviatilis Müller, 1774. It is necessary to improve the knowledgement specially about morphology, biology, geographical distribution and genetics in order to assess the true systematic position ofthe called neotropical genera (Anisancylus Pilsbry, 1924; Gundlachia Pfeiffer, 1849; Hebetancylus Pilsbry, 1913 and Uncancylus Pilsbry, 1913) and also Burnupia Walker, 1912 and Ferrissia Walker, 1903. -
Molluscs from the Miocene Pebas Formation of Peruvian and Colombian Amazonia

The mollusc fauna of the Miocene Pebas Formation of Peruvian and Colombian Amazonia contains at least 158 mollusc species, 73 of which are introduced as new; 13 are described in open nomenclature. Four genera are introduced (the cochliopid genera Feliconcha and Glabertryonia, and the corbulid genera Pachy- rotunda and Concentricavalva) and a nomen novum is introduced for one genus (Longosoma). A neotype is designated for Liosoma glabra Conrad, 1874a. The Pebas fauna is taxonomically dominated by two fami- lies, viz. the Cochliopidae (86 species; 54%) and Corbulidae (23 species; 15%). The fauna can be character- ised as aquatic (155 species; 98%), endemic (114 species; 72%) and extinct (only four species are extant). Many of the families represented by a few species in the Pebas fauna include important ecological groups, such as indicators of marine infl uence (e.g., Nassariidae, one species), terrestrial settings (e.g., Acavidae, one species) and stagnant to marginally agitated freshwaters (e.g., Planorbidae, four species). -

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity. -

Terrestrial Invasion of Pomatiopsid Gastropods in the Heavy-Snow Region of the Japanese Archipelago Yuichi Kameda* and Makoto Kato
Kameda and Kato BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:118 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/118 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Terrestrial invasion of pomatiopsid gastropods in the heavy-snow region of the Japanese Archipelago Yuichi Kameda* and Makoto Kato Abstract Background: Gastropod mollusks are one of the most successful animals that have diversified in the fully terrestrial habitat. They have evolved terrestrial taxa in more than nine lineages, most of which originated during the Paleozoic or Mesozoic. The rissooidean gastropod family Pomatiopsidae is one of the few groups that have evolved fully terrestrial taxa during the late Cenozoic. The pomatiopsine diversity is particularly high in the Japanese Archipelago and the terrestrial taxa occur only in this region. In this study, we conducted thorough samplings of Japanese pomatiopsid species and performed molecular phylogenetic analyses to explore the patterns of diversification and terrestrial invasion. Results: Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that Japanese Pomatiopsinae derived from multiple colonization of the Eurasian Continent and that subsequent habitat shifts from aquatic to terrestrial life occurred at least twice within two Japanese endemic lineages. Each lineage comprises amphibious and terrestrial species, both of which are confined to the mountains in heavy-snow regions facing the Japan Sea. The estimated divergence time suggested that diversification of these terrestrial lineages started in the Late Miocene, when active orogenesis of the Japanese landmass and establishment of snowy conditions began. Conclusions: The terrestrial invasion of Japanese Pomatiopsinae occurred at least twice beside the mountain streamlets of heavy-snow regions, which is considered the first case of this event in the area. -
