Fukuda et al. (1990), and Tsuchida & Hori (1990) carcfully examined and presented revisional reports on the Pyramidellidae in the Yamaguchi Museum, institutionfor malacology in northern Yamaguchi Thc Hagi City Museum is the central Prefecture. It contains a large number of molluscan spccimens t'rom the region, mainly collected by the ]ate Messrs. Yoshishige Ikeda and Takeichi Tada, and the pyramidellids in its collectiQns were revised in dctail by Hori (1996). Fellowing the examinations of the two museum collections detailed above, many specimens of the Pyramidellidae remained unidcntified. The present authors recently carTied out morphological re-examination of these specimens in detail, with several of them turning eut to belong tQ unde- scribed species. Onc of the present new species (Ondina etachisinoides) is here described with Mr. Hiroshi Yoshizaki, IhonoshD, Yanai, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Materialsand methods All shells were observed and photographed with stereonticroscopes (Nikon SM-Z; WILD M400) and a scanning electronic microscope (JSM-5200LV).

Protoconch (Fig. 3) of at least 1.5 whorls, diametcr 250 ptm, translucent, smooth; proteconch heterostrophic at an angle ef ca. 160- to teleeconch axis; 50-55% of protoconch subsumed in first teleoconch whorl, with earliest portion completely concealed. Teleoconch of 2.6 whorls, slightly convex-sided, Suture distinct, slightly tabulatc immediately abapically. Growth lines opisthocline, flexed forward (i.e. ventrally). Teleoconch sculpture of thin spirat grooves on abapical portion of each whorl; two grooves en penultimate whorls and ca, 1O on body whorl including base; grooves become feebler toward umbilicul region, Body whorl 74% of shel] height; periphery and base convex. Aperture 45% of shell height, ovate. Co]umella thick, concave. Single columellar fold on posteriormost part of celumella, oblique to co]umellar axis; rclatively smal1 but distinct. Inner lip covered with a thick callus. Outer lip modcrately thick with a shallow sinus at abapicalmost part. Palatal sculpture absent. Umbilicus widely epen. 71ype locality: Kiyogahama Bcach, Abu-ch6, Abu-gun, Yamaguchi Prefecture (34031'44"N, 131020'4S"E). Etymolog),: Elacrhisina (Latin): a genus of the family Elachishinidac; -oides (I.atin): similar, like. The present species is namcd for its similarity in shell appearance with Etac'hisina (e.g. E. ziczac H. Fukuda & Ekawa, 1997). Remarksi Ondina etachisinoides resembtes Odvstomia (Jordanula) megembtl},on Saurin (1958: p. 70, pl. 1, fig. 7) from South Vietnam, but differs from the latter in lacking a distinct narrow spi- ral groove on the periphery. Ondina etachisinoides can also be distinguished from Odostomia (J.) sulcatetla Corgan & van Aartsen, 199S (Saurin, 1959: p. 240, pl, 3, fig. 26, as Odostomia (J.) in.fin- sulcata Saurin, 1959) from Victnam by its broader shell (DIHi O.57 in specimen with 2.6 whorls vs. O,4t in specimen with four whorls). The species is in the present placed gcnus Ondina by virtue of its ovate shell, opisthocline growth lines, and spiral grooves on the base, all common features with the type species Ondina semiornata De Folin, 1872. Here the nominal species belonging to Ondina is recerded from Japan fbr the first time, Although H. Fukuda (1995) recorded a congeneric species from the Ogasawara Islands, it was an unidentified one.

Teleoconch of 5.5 whorls, almost straight-sided. Suture distinct, slightly tabulate immediately abapically. Growth lines fine, prosocline, Teleoconch sculpture of conspicuous spiral cords, three in number on euch whorl; abapical cord broader than adapical other two on evcry whorl; adapical twe cords on lst to 3rd teleeconch whorl clearly gran- ulose (Fig. 8); a part of additional cord appears on suprasutural part of 3rd teleoconch whorl and penultimate whorl. Interspaces of spiral cords distinct, width about half of that of adapicalmost cord on every whorl; interspaces sculptured with thin axial lirae. Body whorl 56 % of shell height; periphery convex, Periphcry of body whorl encircled by peripheral and subperipheral spiral cords; peripheral cord as wide as 3rd cord on body whorl; subperipheral cord as wide as 2nd cord on body whorl, Umbilical area with no spiral cerd, Aperture 35 % of she]1 height, ovate.

The present species is named for its partly granulose pyramidellid spire which resembles the buddhist monument. Remarks: Chtlysattida st"pa resembles Miratda gemma (A. Adams, 1863) (Dall & Bartsch, 1906: pp. 356-357, pl. 22, t'ig, 1) from Japan and M. scopulorum (Watson, 1889: p. 485, pl. 31, fig. 5) from Hawaii and northwest Pacific, but it differs from the both in having spiral cords which are granulose only on adapical whorls. The present species is placed in thc genus Chtlysallida, by virtue ofits conical shell with strong axial and spiral ribs, of which the axial ones pass only faintly over the base while the spiral ones remains quite prominent, as in the type species Chtlysallida crommttnis (C.

The Coen types, now at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, have been examined; most of them are holotypes or lectotypes. Some lectotypes were already selected by van Aartsen, as stated in the label, therefore we have not done any further selection of types. The new pyramidellid species have been practically identified and named by Monterosato, and were all found in shell grit collected on the beach of Lido (a small island in front of Venice). None of the Coen’s new species seems to be valid. KEY WORDS Coen collection; Pyramidellidae; Adriatic Sea; Mediterranean Sea.

  • Pyramidellidae Turbonilla
    Pyramidellidae Subfamily Turbonillinae Genus Turbonilla Species recorded from the SCB By Tony Phillips DCE At the October 2010 SCAMIT meeting it was suggested by Pat LaFollette for us to take high quality, detailed photographs of our Turbonilla, Pyrgiscus and Odostomia species (don’t forget scale bars, locality and depth information!) and share with him and with each other. If it is possible to assign it unequivocally to a described species, he will aid us in giving specimens names…... He also suggested we use Abbott 1974 as a primary resource..... Subgenera of Turbonilla (Oldroyd 1927 & Abbot 1974) • Bartschella Iredale 1917 - valid genus • Chemnitzia d’Orbigny 1840 - Turbonilla • Mormula A. Adams 1863 - valid genus, not in subfamily Turbonillinae • Pyrgiscus Philippi 1841 - valid genus • Pyrgolampros Sacco 1892 - Turbonilla • Strioturbonilla Sacco 1892 – valid genus, not in subfamily Turbonillinae • Turbonilla Risso 1826 – valid genus * WoRMS 2016 for subfamily Turbonillinae Genera listed under subfamily Turbonillinae (according to WoRMS 2016) Asmunda Dall & Bartsch 1904 Kleinella A. Adams 1860 Bacteridella Saurin 1959 Nisipyrgiscus Robba 2013 Bartschella Iredale 1916 Nisiturris Dall & Bartsch 1906 Bouchetmella Penas & Rolan 2016 Puposyrnola Cossmann 1921 Careliopsis Morch 1875 Pyrgiscus Philippi 1841 Colsyrnola Iredale 1929 Pyrgolidium Monterosato 1884 Ebalina Thiele 1929 Pyrgostylus Monterosato 1884 Eulimella Forbes & M’Andrew 1846 Raoulostraca Oliver 1915 Exesilla Laseron 1959 Syrnola A.

Therefore we shall use only the genus name Turbonilla for all the species included….(Penas & Rolan, 2010) ….as most of the turbonillids, the majority of species cannot yet be defensibly seated in an appropriate genus.

  • From the Late Triassic St Cassian Formation
    Mathildoidea (Gastropoda, Heterostropha) from the Late Triassic St Cassian Formation Klaus Bandel Bandel, Κ. Mathildoidea (Gastropoda, Heterostropha) from the Late Triassic St Cassian Formation. — Scripta Geol., Ill: 1-83,19 pls, Leiden, November 1995. Klaus Bandel, Geologisch-Paläontologisches Institut, Universität Hamburg, Bundesstraße 55, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany. Key words: Gastropoda, Heterostropha, Late Triassic, evolution. In the St Cassian fauna of Late Triassic (Early Carnian) age gastropods with protoconch coiled in opposite direction to the teleoconch are common and belong to a number of quite different taxa. Twenty nine of these are here described, 11 of them for the first time: Promathilda misurinensis sp. nov., Turrithilda cassiana sp. nov., T. dockeryi sp. nov., Tirolthilda seelandica gen. et sp. nov., T. nuetzeli sp. nov., Tofanella cancellata sp. nov., Cristalloella cassiana gen. et sp. nov., C. sinuata sp. nov., C. delicata sp. nov., Stuorilda cassiana gen. et sp. nov., and S. tichyi sp. nov. All are newly defined and placed in the Mathildoidea. This connects the Triassic species of that superfamity with the modern Heterostropha (= Heterobranchia). In the family Mathildidae the genera Mathilda and Promathilda are differentiated, two species of Turrithilda described, and Tirolthilda and Schroederilda are included as new genera, with the type species T. seelandica gen. et sp. nov. and Pseudotritonium millierense Zardini, 1978, respectively. The new family Anoptychiidae holds the genera Anoptychia, Turristylus and Camponella gen. nov. (type species Coelostylina pianozensis Zardini, 1985). Here the juvenile ornament resembles that of the Mathildidae but differs from the later smooth teleoconch. Protoconch morphology differentiates the new families Tofanellidae, Trachoecidae and Ampezzanildidae. In contrast to the Mathildidae, Dolomitellidae and Anoptychiidae, the sinistral shell of the protoconch changes its direction of coiling within the larval part of the shell and not at the transition from larval shell to teleoconch.

  • Introduction to Physidae (Gastropoda: Hygrophila); Biogeography, Classification, Morphology
    Rev. Biol. Trop. 51 (Suppl. 1): 1-287, 2003 www.ucr.ac.cr www.ots.ac.cr www.ots.duke.edu Introduction to Physidae (Gastropoda: Hygrophila); biogeography, classification, morphology Dwight W. Taylor1 1 Mailing address: P.O. Box 5532, Eugene, Oregon 97405. Abstract: Physidae, a world-wide family of freshwater snails with about 80 species, are reclassified by pro- gressive characters of the penial complex (the terminal male reproductive system): form and composition of penial sheath and preputium, proportions and structure of penis, presence or absence of penial stylet, site of pore of penial canal, and number and insertions of penial retractor muscles. Observation of these characters, many not recognized previously, has been possible only by the technique used in anesthetizing, fixing, and preserving. These progressive characters are the principal basis of 23 genera, four grades and four clades within the family. The two established subfamilies are divided into seven new tribes including 11 new genera, with diagnoses and lists of species referred to each. Proposed as new are: in Aplexinae, Austrinautini, with Austrinauta g.n. and Caribnauta harryi g.n., nom.nov.; Aplexini; Amecanautini with Amecanauta jaliscoensis g.n., sp.n., Mexinauta g.n., and Mayabina g.n., with M. petenensis, polita, sanctijohannis, tempisquensis spp.nn., Tropinauta sinusdul- censis g.n., sp.n.; and Stenophysini, with Stenophysa spathidophallus sp.n.; in Physinae, Haitiini, with Haitia moreleti sp.n.; Physini, with Laurentiphysa chippevarum g.n., sp.n., Physa mirollii nom.nov.; and Physellini, with Chiapaphysa g.n., and C. grijalvae, C. pacifica spp.nn., Utahphysa g.n., Archiphysa g.n., with A.

  • Tertiary and Quaternary Fossil Pyramidelloidean Gastropods of Indonesia
    Tertiary and Quaternary fossil pyramidelloidean gastropods of Indonesia E. Robba Robba, E. 2013. Tertiary and Quaternary fossil pyramidelloidean gastropods of Indonesia. Scripta Geo- logica, 144: 1-191, 1 appendix, 1 table, 25 plates. Leiden, April 2013. E. Robba, Università di Milano Bicocca, Dipartimento di Scienze Geologiche e Geotecnologie, Piazza della Scienza 4, 20126 Milano, Italy ([email protected]). Key words – Gastropoda, Pyramidelloidea, taxonomy. The pyramidelloidean gastropods newly collected from one stratigraphic section and two spot localities in the Rembang anticlinorium (Middle Miocene, northeastern Java) are described and those of various ages in the collections of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden are reviewed. A total of 111 species are covered in this paper; another 22 taxa dealt with by previous authors, of which the material was not available, are briefly commented on in an appendix. The “Rembangian” (Middle Miocene) assemblage consists of 89 spe- cies. Four are identified as formerly described species, namelyLeucotina speciosa (Adams), Megastomia regina (Thiele), Exesilla dextra (Saurin) and Exesilla splendida (Martin); 52 are proposed as new; most of the others almost certainly represent previously undescribed species, but cannot be named because of inadequate ma- terial. Parodostomia jogjacartensis (Martin), Parodostomia vandijki (Martin) and Pyramidella nanggulanica Finlay, described from the Eocene deposits of Java, seem to be restricted to that epoch. The Neogene fauna appears to be composed almost entirely of extinct species. Only Leucotina speciosa (Adams), Megastomia regina (Thiele), Longchaeus turritus (Adams), Pyramidella balteata (Adams), Exesilla dextra (Saurin) and Nisiturris alma (Thiele) are still present in modern Indo-West Pacific faunas. Most Neogene species seem to be endemic of the Indonesian Archipelago; relationships with other West Pacific fossil faunas have been noted for only a few taxa.
