Twenty-one species are recognised: 13 are described as new: Brachystomia cantaurana nov. sp., Goniodostomia bicarinata nov. sp., Iolaea miocenica nov. sp., Chrysallida cantaurana nov. sp., Kleinella pumila nov. sp., Parthenina martae nov. sp., Ividella guppyi nov. sp., Chemnitzia macsotayi nov. sp., Turbonilla paraguanensis nov. sp., Pyrgiscus caribbaeus nov. sp., Pyrgiscus silvai nov. sp., Eulimella dianeae nov. sp. and Iselica belliata nov. sp., three are left in open nomenclature. The state of knowledge of tropical American Neogene pyramidellids is rudimentary, but the assemblage is fairly typical at generic level to that of the tropical American Neogene today, with some species suggesting closer affinities with tropical American Pacific taxa.

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. -

The material was collected in the Turkish Levantine and Aegean Seas, and the Sea of Marmara at depths varying from 0.5 to 1302 m between the years 1996 and 2012. The examination of the collected material revealed four species of Anisocycla (A. gradata, A. nitidissima, A. pointeli and A. striatula), five species of Eulimella (E. acicula, E. neoattenuata, E. scillae, E. ventricosa and E. unifasciata), one species of Puposyrnola (P. minuta), two species of Syrnola (S. fasciata and S. lendix) and twelve species of Turbonilla (T. acuta, T. acutissima, T. hamata, T. jeffreysi, T. lactea, T. micans, T. paucistriata, T. pseudogradata, T.pumila, T. pusilla, T. rufa and T. striatula). Of the identified species, E. neoattenuata forms a new record for the eastern Mediterranean, T. paucistriata is new report for the Levantine and Aegean Seas, P. minuta and T. micans are new ones for the Aegean Sea, E. -

Goud National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, P.O. Box 9517, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] / [email protected] It is shown that the migrant species known as Styloptygma beatrix Melvill, 1910, is in fact the species Syrnola lendix (A. Adams, 1863), known already from the Red Sea. Key words: Gastropoda, Pyramidellidae, Syrnola, Styloptygma, taxonomy, Red Sea, Mediter- ranean. One of the more recent Indo-Pacific migrants into the Mediterraneanis known under the name of Styloptygma beatrix Melvill, 1910. As such it was first identifiedby Micali & Palazzi (1992: 87, 89 fig. 4) who incorrectly cited the year of publication as 1911 Melvill's publication dates from 26.9.1910, as was indicated for part 3 on the inside of the fronti- spiece of VolumeIX, covering 1910-1911 of the Proceedings. These authors founda single, of withabout full-grown specimen 3.4 mm in height 8 whorls, near Iskenderun, Southern Turkey. More specimens were found along the Israeli coast (Bogi & Galil, 1997:44, 45 figs. 11, 12). The figured specimens have 7 or 8 whorls but their dimensions cannot be calculated from the magnification given with the figures. Fortunately we obtained some of these loan and found their dimensions between and specimens on 3.0 3.6 mm. One specimen is figured here (fig. 1). The cited species in question is by Zenetos et al. (2004: 146, 147) as Styloptygma beat- rix Melvill, 1911, based on the materialof Micali & Palazzi as well as Bogi & Galil. -

The compilation of the available references revealed a total of 1065 species belonging to 7 classes (Caudofoveata, Solenogastres, Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda, and Cephalopoda). Most of the reported species belong to the class Gastropoda (706 species), followed by Bivalvia (279 species), Cephalopoda (50 species), Polyplacophora (17 species), Scaphopoda (10 species), Caudofoveata (2 species), and Solenogastres (1 species). Among the coasts of Turkey, the highest number of molluscan species was recorded from the Aegean Sea (825 species), followed by the Levantine Sea (807 species), Sea of Marmara (537 species), and the Black Sea (155 species). Of the 1065 mollusc taxa, 118 species are alien ones that originated outside the Mediterranean Sea. Among the listed species, Timoclea roemeriana (Bivalvia), and Sepiola ligulata and Abraliopsis morisii (both from Cephalopoda) are new records for the Turkish mollusc fauna, 11 species of the classes Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, and Bivalvia (Leptochiton boettgeri, Cerithium protractum, Similiphora similior, Cerithiopsis diadema, Rissoa guerinii, Crepidula moulinsii, Crepidula unguiformis, Bela zenetouae, Doto coronata, Lima marioni, and Limaria loscombi) are new reports for the Levantine coast of Turkey, and 2 gastropod species (Acirsa subdecussata and Monotygma lauta) are new reports for the Aegean coast of Turkey. -

By CHARLBS F. LASBRON, F.R.Z.S. Honorary Correspondent, Australiau Museum. (:E'igures 1-98.) INTRODUCTION. This paper is intended primarily as an illustrated check-list of the species of Pyramidellidae of the Neoperonian Zoogeographical Province, and it includes mainly gasteropods with heterotrophe protoconchs. This widens the family limits as dealt with in Hedley's Check List (1917), but in addition to affording a more convenient classification, it is in general keeping with present-day opinion abroad. Opinions as to the phylogenetic value of the protoconch may differ, but in some families it is of undoubted importance. Here, at least, it affords a very definite character which, in the absence of any knowledge of anatomy and life history, links a number of shells with many other characters in common. The family is old geologically and has a world-wide range, and the list of known species is great and continually growing. Of late years some detailed research on the animal and its life history has been done in Europe and America, but in Australia the systematist still holds the field. -

The shells of the six study species consisted of thick crossed-lamellar (CL) layers that were sandwiched between thin outer and inner prismatic layers. Interspecific differences were observed in the number and thickness of the CL layers, the dip angle of the second-order lamellae of each CL layer, and the microstructure of the outer and inner prismatic layers. Of these, the microstructure of the prismatic layers may be useful as taxonomic characters distinguishing the genera and species of Pyramidelloidea. The distributions of observed character states were, however, inconsistent with conventional familial and subfamilial classification, supporting previous anatomical and molecular studies that have challenged the monophyly of pyramidelloid higher taxa. Keywords: Amathinidae, parasite, Pyramidellidae, SEM, shell microstructure, taxonomy Introduction The marine gastropod family Pyramidellidae (subclass Heterobranchia: superfamily Pyramidelloidea) consists at the very least of 5,000 species that belong to approximately 350 genera and subgenera (Schander et al., 1999a).
