Bulletin 192 ' \ V * N ^F? ^ \ SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 192 THE OPERCULATE LAND MOLLUSKS OF THE FAMILY ANNULARHDAE OF THE ISLAND OF HISPANIOLA AND THE BAHAMA ARCHIPELAGO BY PAUL BARTSCH \rii UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1946 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Price 75 cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biolog}', anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are dis- tributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to spe- cialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, con- tains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type speci- mens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The ma- jority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as in- dispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum. The present work forms No. 192 of the Bulletin series. Alexander Wetmore, Secretary, Smithsonian Institution.

Henderson and I published "A Classification of the American Operculate Land Mollusks of the Family Annulariidae."^ It was our intention to follow this by detailed monographs upon the group. The unfortunate early death of Mr. Henderson inhibited this endeavor. The study was resumed by Dr. Carlos de la Torre and me in 1936. Our first paper, "The Cuban Operculate Land Shells of the Subfamily Chondropominae,"2 was published in 1938. This was followed in 1941 by "The Cuban Operculate Land Mollusks of the Family Annulariidae, Exclusive of the Subfamily Chondropominae.''^ In 1942 we published "A Revision of the Classification of the Operculate Land Mollusks of Cuba belonging to the Family Annulariidae, and a List of the Known Species and Subspecies."-* The present paper is a continuation of these studies and embraces an account of the members of this family known from Hispaniola and the Bahama Archipelago. I wish here to express my thanks to Dr. Henry A. Pilsbry, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, for the loan of material of Comparative Zoology and also to William J. Clench, of the Museum at Harvard College, for similar courtesies. THE ANNULARIIDAE OF HISPANIOLA In spite of the fact that Hispaniola, as Columbus termed the island now designated as Haiti and the Dominican Republic, has been known since that dauntless navigator discovered America, it is still the least explored of the Antilles when considered from a natural-history stand- point. The reasons for this will become readily apparent to anyone will- 1 Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 58, pp. 49-82, 1920. 'Proc. U. S. Nat.

Sci., pp. 335-379, 1942. 2 BULLETIN 192, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM ing to delve even superficially into the interesting history of events that have haunted this enchanted isle almost from its very discovery. Hispaniola presents a very diversified geographic as well as geologic aspect, and its faunal substrate features have little in common with its political divisions. The Cul-de-Sac Plain with its subsea-level Lake Enriquillo practically divides Hispaniola into a northern and a southern division, which in the not distant past constituted separate islands. This flora. region is semiarid, with a magnificent cactus and xerophytic To the south of this a range of mountains extends from the western end to Barahona in the east with Mount La Selle, its highest culmination, attaining an altitude of 8,793 feet. This range, with its many spurs reaching the iron-bound coasts, has yielded moUuscan material only from the edges of the slender passes that traverse it in several places. Its major portion promises rich returns to the venturesome collector. The northern part of the island is traversed by another magnificent mountain chain, the Cibao Range, which extends from Cap a Foux, the northwestern point of the island, in a southeasterly direction to Cape Engano, the eastern extremity of the island, with many spurs to the north and south. The beauty of this range is incomparable and must be seen to be worthily appreciated. To the north and east of this is another range known as the Cordil- lera Septentrional, which, although it has been explored in a natural- history way, nevertheless continues to yield novelties to every ardent endeavor. It is the high mountains everywhere that promise worth-while riches to the explorer. The lowland plains bordering the Artibonite and the Cul-de-Sac region are less promising, and this is probably also true of the lowland valleys of the Dominican Republic, while the forbidding iron-bound shores present even greater difficulty of approach to the ex- plorer than the rugged interior. The operculate fauna, while not so extensive or diversified as that of Cuba or Jamaica, with which it has affinities, is, nevertheless, a rich one. Here, as in those islands, we find certain widely distributed species occupying coastal plains or extensive lowland reaches, while others re- stricted to limestone outcrops of mountain regions are more confined in their distribution. Shells from Hispaniola reached Europe at a comparatively early pe- riod after the white man's invasion. Some of the earliest were described without mention of collector or locality. Occupation of the island by France yielded that country quite a number of specimens with such faulty data. H. Crosse, in the Journal de Conchyliologie for 1891, volume 39, pages 69 to 95, gives an interesting account of the contributions in the mol- luscan field made by various collectors up to that time in Hispaniola. : HISPANIOLAN AND BAHAMAN ANNULAIUIDAE He mentions Theophile Laterrade, 1840 William M.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM by the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol.85 Washington: 1938 No. 3039 THE CUBAN OPERCULATE LAND SHELLS OF THE SUBFAMILY CHONDROPOMINAE By Carlos de la Torre and Paul Bartsch INTRODUCTION In all tlie world there i.s no place of equivalent area that has a o-reater number of si)ecies and races of land shells than the Island of Cuba. It is a veritable paradise for the lover of mollusks, for we find not only a numerical preponderance but also beauty of outline and coloration rivaling the faunas of the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands. The interesting features presented by this fauna are not restricted in appeal to the systematic zoologists—taxonomists—for here the student of genetics and heredity also will find a veritable laboratory teeming with an endless number of problems inviting solution. In Pinar del Rio Province, in western Cuba, the Organ Mountains, because they are broken up into isolated blocks and by the even greater cutting up of the lateral folds to the north and south, now^ largely represented by the series of mogotes—hills—of varying size into which the teeth of time have cut them, show splendidly in their faunas the effects of isolation and inbreeding, resulting in an almost endless array of races, each confined to a limestone cliff, which may vary in size from a barn door to miles in extent. To such restricted habitats most of the members of the subfamily Chondropominae are more firmly wedded today than they would bo if they occupied equally distant islands, from which they might be carried by currents or waves to neighboring shores, for gi'assy inter- vals present a greater barrier to these calciphil dwellers than would the open sea.

  • Dangling Shells and Dangerous Spiders: Malacophagy and Mimicry in Terrestrial Gastropods
    Folia conchyliologica , n°7 , Février 2011 Dangling shells and dangerous spiders: malacophagy and mimicry in terrestrial gastropods 2 par Abraham S.H. BREURE Abstract . ─ Shells dangling on lines attached to a substratum may be either empty shell in use by spiders, or gastropods in hibernation. Previous data on dangling gastropods and malacophagy by spiders and harvestmen are summarized and discussed. Some new observations on dangling shells are reported from various localities in the West Indies. Keywords . ─ Gastropoda, Annulariidae, Cyclophoridae, Araneae, Opiliones, malacophagy, mimicry, Malaysia, West Indies. Résumé . – Les coquilles suspendues par des fils attachés à un substrat peuvent être soit des coquilles vides utilisées par les araignées, soit des gastéropodes en hivernation. Les données antérieures sur les gastéropodes suspendus et la malacophagie par les araignées et les opilions sont résumées et discutées. Quelques nouvelles observations sur les coquilles suspendues sont signalées dans diverses localités des Antilles. Mots clés . ─ Gastropoda, Annulariidae, Cyclophoridae, Araneae, Opiliones, malacophagie, mimétisme, Malaysie, Antilles. Introduction Recently DEELEMAN -REINHOLD (2009) published an observation that she, as an arachnologist, made some years ago when collecting spiders in rainforests in Borneo. She observed shells of Alycaeus (Cyclophoridae), dangling on lines attached to limestone slabs. This behaviour was cursorily reported by SCHILTHUIZEN et al . (1999). However, as Deeleman-Reinhold found eight spiderlings inside the 22 shells observed, behind the operculum, she suggested that the shells were possibly used for shelter or deposition of eggs. More generally, observations on spider-gastropod interaction are usually limited to prey-predator relationships. Although spiders have been reported in entomological literature to predate on gastropods (for a review, see NYFELLER & S YMONDSON , 2001; see also ACOSTA & M ACHADO , 2007), this is hardly reported in malacological literature (DU PREEZ , 2001; POLLARD & J ACKSON , 2004).

    Pomacea Perry, 1810 Diagnostic features Large to very large globose smooth shells, sutures channelled (Pomacea canaliculata) or with the top of the whorl shouldered and flat at the suture (Pomacea diffusa). Shells umbilicate with unthickened lip. Uniform yellow to olive green with darker spiral bands. nterior of aperture orange to yellow. Operculate, with concentric operculum. Animal with distinctive head-foot; snout uniquely with a pair of distal, long, tentacle-like processes; cephalic tentacles very long. A long 'siphon' is also present.

Type locality: Rio Parana, Argentina. Biology and ecology Amphibious, on sediment, weeds and other available substrates. Lays pink coloured egg masses on plants above the waterline. Distribution Native to North and South America but some species have been introduced around the world through the aquarium trade (Pomacea diffusa) and as a food source (Pomacea canaliculata). Pomacea diffusa has been reported from the Ross River in Townsville in NE Queensland, and from freshwater waterbodies in the greater Brisbane area, pswich and Urangan near Maryborough in SE Queensland. Notes This genus is widely known in the aquarium trade through the so-called mystery snail, Pomacea diffusa. n countries such as the Philippines, Hawaii and parts of SE Asia, the species Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) is a serious pest of rice crops.

Key words: Annulariidae, Abbottella, Lagopoma, Leiabbottella, Rolleia, Hispaniola, new species Introduction Abbottella species are a highly endemic group of land snails living in Hispaniola with a single species in eastern Cuba. Most are known chiefly from Puerto Plata to the Samaná Peninsula in the Cordillera Septentrional that forms the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. A second, lowland group occupies the easternmost portion of the island from the coast west to Santo Domingo. A few puzzling outliers occur at Isla Beata and near Thomazeau, Haiti. Many species are known only from the type locality, or from an unknown locality, and thus their actual distributions remain unclear. Based on material from the Florida Museum of Natural History, the collection of Jozef Grego, and the author’s collection, it is now possible to fill in some of these gaps in their distributional records.
