(With 30 Plates) Together with Mrs. E Veline I Have Passed from Sand b y E r n e s t o M a r c u s (with 30 plates) Together with Mrs. E v e l in e d u B o is -R e y m o n d M a r c u s I have passed from sand-dwelling to other marine Euthyneura, con­ ventionally called Opisithobranchia. While our modern bibliography is rather complete, thanks to many Colleagues who kindly helped us with separate copies, that of the first half of the past century as well as Trinche£e’s (see Eliot’s note, 1910b, p. 189) is hopelessly incomplete. Papers from the classic period of investigation of ma­ rine Euthyneura, connected with the names of Alder & Hancock, Bergh, Eliot, and Vayssière, were obtained gradually during the ela­ boration of this study Therefore they were considered unequally and we hope to supply present bibliographic gaps in future publi­ cations. Especially the “Malacclogische Untersuchungen” of Bergh were only received after the completion of the present Ms. through Dr. Sebastian Adam Gerlach-Kiel, who kindly photocopied them for us. To Dr. Erich Schulz we are indepted for a photocopy of Rang’s monograph of the Aplysiae with the plates primorously re­ produced in colours. This precious gift is of great value for our studies on this family The material was obtained in the upper littoral chiefly of the State of São Paulo. One of our colecting trips was supported by a grant from the National Research Council (Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas) in Rio de Janeiro. The animals were narcotized after Pantin (1948, p. 6 , “N ar­ cotics” b) and fixed with “Susa” (ibid., p. 8 ). For the preservation of shells and spicules alcohol 90% was used. The reproductive or­ gans and other anatomical details were mostly reconstructed from transverse sections; sometimes animals were also dissected. The following list of the species treated in this paper aims at a rapid, moderately modern orientation, not at the establishment of taxonomically équivalente units. Cephalaspidea and Anaspidea, f.. ex., are separated as independent orders by Odhner (1939, p. 4), while all Doridacea are united in one suborder (ibid., p. 25) Tectibranchia ( Pleuroccela ) Cephalaspidea, Bullariidae: Bulla striata Brug.

Bulla striata Bruguiere (Fig. 1-7) The systematically important characters are described in the· following for a population collected on an about 6 km. long tract of the beach. Some young living animals are included (Fig. 1) The profile of young and adult shells (Fig. 1, 2) is characte­ rized by a nearly straight right and a convex left border The shell is distinctly narrower above than below, the greatest breadth lies a little below the middle. The outer border stands out over the apex that has a deeply sunken spire. The high and narrow aper­ ture widens to a broad oval below the middle of the shell. The ou­ ter lip is sharp and in the pauses of growth thickened. The colu­ mella is not quite straight and ends approached to the left side. There are 8 whorls in adult shells. Besides the lines of growth, the distinctness and breadth of which varies widely, there are fine longitudinal striae and spiral lines inside the apical cavity. The number of the latter, 0-8, is not correlated with the size of the shells. The transverse apical (poste­ rior) striae on the surface of the last formed whorl are rarely as distinct as in Hoffmann’s figure (1934, f. 254 D) Sometimes they are vestigial, and in many cases absent. The corresponding striae cf the inferior cr anterior part are constant, as Si (1931, p. 31) stressed. The colour cf the shells is creamy, light brown or dark grayish yellow indistinctly mottled with all shades from light brown to black. The inner surface and the inner lip are white. The fleshy parts of adult animals are dark yellowish gray to black, those cf young snails light gray Greatest diameter and total length (Aguayo & Jaume 1944, p. 45, t. 7, f. 2, 4) were measured in 150 shells, the length of which varied from 14 to 37,8 mm. The latter, our largest shell, has a greatest diameter of 21,6 mm. Its proportion between dia­ meter and length is 1:1,75. This corresponds approximately to *he medium proportion between diameter and length in our po­ pulation, 1:1,70. The variation cf this proportion in the present .material ranges from 1:1,53 to 1:1,90. The proportions of 10 shells from the brazilian coast about 350 km. farther sou'.hwest (Gcfferje 1950, p. 221, 251) lie within these limits, though their absolute measurements are considerably smaller. The Figures 5-7 show the larval shell of an about 30 mm. long specimen (Fig. 2), from the eighth whorl of which it was freed. The larval spire is directed downwards. The angle bet­ ween the axis cf the helicoid larval shell and that of the adult one is about 45° The larval shell is transparent and colourles:. Its diameter is 0,22 mm. and its height 0,2 mm. The number of whorls is about 1,7 The initial chamber that is slightly elevated likens that of Diaphana hyalina (Thorson 1946, fig. 147A; after Lemche 1948, p. 74 = Diaphana minuta Brown 1827) and thast of Philine aperta (Thorson, fig. 150 H ) . The last part of the outer whorl partly overlaps the initial chamber and the first whorl. The radulae of the present material (Fig. 3) contain 26-27 series of plates. The median plate has a small central denticle and 5-7 larger ones on each side. The first lateral or intermedia­ te plate has a big central denticle and 2-5 smaller lateral ones on each side. The following lateral plate has 6-8 denticles on its outer side. The third or marginal plate is small and has no den­ ticles . Various aspects of the three plates of the gizzard are drawn in Fig. 4. Occurrence: Island of São Sebastião, many hundreds of shells on the beach in november 1953 and april 1954, partly empty, partly still containing the dried soft parts. Five young living specimens with 2,7 to 6 mm. long shells among algae on boulders in the littoral, 4 in november and one in april. Discussion of Bulla striata Brug. The characters of the shell and the radula of the present material agree in general lines with Vayssière’s description of mediterranean specimens of B. striata (1885, p. 14-17). In the brazilian snails, however, the rhachidian plate is proportionally bigger than in those from Naples (Vayssière, 1. c.). Therefore the name striata is here applied with a slight reserve, in as much as even the name of the mediterranean species seems to be not en­ tirely settled (Pruvot-Fol 1933, p. 92, note 3). One can certainly net unite our animals with B. occidentalis (A. Adams) after Lo- card’s discrimination between the latter and striata (1897, p. 51- 52) Zoogeographically B. occidentalis appears more probable to occur on the coast of Brazil than the mediterranean and east atlantic striata. But even a distribution of one species on both si­ des of the Atlantic can not be rejected for a Tectibranch, the dis­ tinct larval shell of which, with regular whorls, indicates a pela­ gic larval life (Thorson 1946, p. 246; Lemche 1948, p. 25-26) During their pelagic life Tectibranch larvae feed and grow vigo­ rously (Thorson, p. 436) Both authors (Thorson, p. 466-467; Lemche, p. 11) explain with good reasons “that deep-water spe­ cimens in the north Atlantic originate from drift-larvae which have been carried from the shallow-watered coast areas to the • deep-sea, where, in lack of a suitable substratum, they have post­ poned their metamorphosis and continued their mid water life”, until they finally are forced to metamorphose. It is doubtful whether the larvae produced by adult animals in the deep-sea find sufficient food (Lemche, 1. c.), but one can suppose that so­ me of them reach the surface by vertical currents and are able to continue transatlantic spreading of the species. The reproductive organs and the range of variation of the radulae in Bulla are not sufficiently known for systematic pur­ poses. Perhaps the protoconch can furnish systematic criteria. A future more detailed examination should also consider B. rubigi- no a (Gould 1852, p. 221; 1856, t. 15 f. 266 a. b) Ihering (1915, p.

  • Diversity of Norwegian Sea Slugs (Nudibranchia): New Species to Norwegian Coastal Waters and New Data on Distribution of Rare Species
    Fauna norvegica 2013 Vol. 32: 45-52. ISSN: 1502-4873 Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species Jussi Evertsen1 and Torkild Bakken1 Evertsen J, Bakken T. 2013. Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species. Fauna norvegica 32: 45-52. A total of 5 nudibranch species are reported from the Norwegian coast for the first time (Doridoxa ingolfiana, Goniodoris castanea, Onchidoris sparsa, Eubranchus rupium and Proctonotus mucro- niferus). In addition 10 species that can be considered rare in Norwegian waters are presented with new information (Lophodoris danielsseni, Onchidoris depressa, Palio nothus, Tritonia griegi, Tritonia lineata, Hero formosa, Janolus cristatus, Cumanotus beaumonti, Berghia norvegica and Calma glau- coides), in some cases with considerable changes to their distribution. These new results present an update to our previous extensive investigation of the nudibranch fauna of the Norwegian coast from 2005, which now totals 87 species. An increase in several new species to the Norwegian fauna and new records of rare species, some with considerable updates, in relatively few years results mainly from sampling effort and contributions by specialists on samples from poorly sampled areas. doi: 10.5324/fn.v31i0.1576.

This study was carried out, through a total of 271 scuba dives, from 2017 to the beginning of 2020 in four sites located along the Ionian coasts of Sicily: Catania, Aci Trezza, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla. Through a photographic data collection, 95 taxa, representing 17.27% of all Mediterranean marine Heterobranchia, were reported. The order with the highest number of found species was that of Nudibranchia. Among the study areas, Catania, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla had not a remarkable difference in the number of species, while Aci Trezza had the lowest number of species. Moreover, among the 95 taxa, four species considered rare and six non-indigenous species have been recorded. Since the presence of a high diversity of sea slugs in a relatively small area, the central-eastern coast of Sicily could be considered a zone of high biodiversity for the marine Heterobranchia fauna.

    FOREWORD Abundant fish and wildlife, unbroken coastal vistas, miles of scenic rivers, swamps and mountains open to exploration, and well-tended forests and fields…these resources enhance the quality of life that makes South Carolina a place people want to call home. We know our state’s natural resources are a primary reason that individuals and businesses choose to locate here. They are drawn to the high quality natural resources that South Carolinians love and appreciate. The quality of our state’s natural resources is no accident. It is the result of hard work and sound stewardship on the part of many citizens and agencies. The 20th century brought many changes to South Carolina; some of these changes had devastating results to the land. However, people rose to the challenge of restoring our resources. Over the past several decades, deer, wood duck and wild turkey populations have been restored, striped bass populations have recovered, the bald eagle has returned and more than half a million acres of wildlife habitat has been conserved. We in South Carolina are particularly proud of our accomplishments as we prepare to celebrate, in 2006, the 100th anniversary of game and fish law enforcement and management by the state of South Carolina. Since its inception, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has undergone several reorganizations and name changes; however, more has changed in this state than the department’s name. According to the US Census Bureau, the South Carolina’s population has almost doubled since 1950 and the majority of our citizens now live in urban areas.

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.

    January 15, 2015 Below are: (1) a bibliography of works on western Atlantic marine mollusks appearing in the journal Avicennia . It includes a listing of all species-level taxa introduced in the cited paper. (2) An alphabetical list of taxa described (new 168, old 1), by family, in the cited papers. These databases are adapted from Gary Rosenberg's Malacolog 4.1.1 < http://www.malacolog.org/ > , and the latter was generated with major assistance from Peggy Williams of Tallevast, FL. Publication date refinement, orthographic emendations, synonymies, and generic reassignments are the work of Dr. Rosenberg. The purpose of this webfeature is to provide a searchable, Internet-linked resource now that the entirety of this discontinued journal (1993-2007) is available on-line at: http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/79640#/summary ************************************************************************************* Ardila, N.
