An Educational Publication of the Hawaiian Malacological Society AN EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATION OF THE HAWAIIAN MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY VOL. XXVI NO.7 JULY. 1978 NEW SERIES NO. 223 by WILLIAM BRUCE WELLS This is the story of a Hawaiian conus species that is largely unknown and neglected, yet is very old. It is also something of a malacological mys- tery, involving the reappearance of a long-lost member of the genus whose birth and demise oc- curred in the mists of antiquity. The protagonist of our tale has no valid name, nor has a proper description ever been published, as far as I know, although the shell itself was discovered some years ago. Hence, keeping in mind John Tucker's recent discussion of the pit- falls in assigning names to new species, I am going to refer here to the Incognito Cone, for reasons that will become apparent. The circumstances of the shell's appearance (or, more properly, its reappearance) offer some interesting thoughts on environmental and ecolog- ical disruptions. My home is in Kailua, a residential suburb of Honolulu adjoining the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station on Mokapu Peninsula (see aerial photo). From time to time I shell along the wave bench cut into the slopes of Ulupau crater facing Kailua Bay and the open Pacific.

  • Magyar Malakológiai Bibliográfia (1727–2004)
    01_cikkek.qxd 2005.11.21. 10:00 Page 5 MALAKOLÓGIAI TÁJÉKOZTATÓ MALACOLOGICAL NEWSLETTER 2005 23: 5–129 Magyar Malakológiai Bibliográfia (1727–2004) Varga András, Fűköh Levente & Krolopp Endre Az első Magyar Malakológiai Bibliográfia 1983-ban a Budapesten megrendezett Unitas Malacologica Kongresszus alkalmával jelent meg, Merényi László szerkesztésében. A ki- advány – Magyarországi pleisztocén és recens malakológiai bibliográfia címen – igyekezett áttekintést adni mindazokról a munkákról, melyek Magyarország területén végzett kutatá- sok eredményeit tartalmazták. Az összeállítás Magyarország alatt az adott munka megjele- nési idejének megfelelő ország területét vette alapul. Jelen összeállítás is követi ezt az alap- elvet, de a fentieken túl tartalmaz minden olyan munkát is, mely magyar szerzők nevéhez fűződően hazánkon kívüli területek malakológiai anyagának feldolgozását tartalmazza, vagy valamilyen formában kapcsolatba került a magyarországi malakológiai kutatásokkal (pl. VERDCOURT 2004). Az 1983-ban megjelent kiadványt követően egyre gyakrabban jelentkezett az igény, hogy az időközben fellelt, s a kötetből kimaradt régebbi irodalmi adatok, illetve az eltelt időszak- ban elvégzett munkák összegzése is jelenjen meg. Ennek az igénynek igyekezett eleget tenni az 1991-ben PERJÉSI György és HORVÁTH Csaba által összeállított munka, „Magyarországi pleisztocén és recens malakológiai bibliográfia (Pótlás)” a Malakológiai Tájékoztató 10. (1991) kötetében, majd ugyancsak ez a szerzőpáros készítette el az időközben megjelent újabb dolgozatok bibliográfiáját: „Magyarországi pleisztocén, quarter és recens malakológiai bibliográfia 1980-1990.” (sic!) címmel a Malakológiai Tájékoztató 11. (1992) kötetében. A fentiekben megjelent munkák óta eltelt közel negyed század ismét felvetette az igényt, hogy készüljön egy új, részben eltérő szerkesztési elveket követő munka, melynek céljai közt szerepel, hogy egyrészt összevonja a MERÉNYI, PERJÉSI & HORVÁTH féle össze- állításokat, másrészt az anyagot 2004-ig bezáróan kiegészítse az időközben megjelent dol- gozatokkal.

The diverse and unique shell shapes are interesting to draw. The easiest medium to describe the shape of a mollusk is in two dimensions. This study aims to identify various images of mollusks in two-dimensional print media such as cloth, paper and plates. Based on the 10 sources of photos analyzed, 56 species of mollusks from 38 families were identified. The Gastropod class dominates with 45 species from 31 families, followed by Bivalves with 7 species from 5 families, then Cephalopods with 4 species from 2 families. Some of the problems found are the shape and proportion of images that different with specimens, some inverted or cropped images, different direction of rotation of the shells with specimens, and different colour patterns with specimens. Biological and distributional aspects of several families will be discussed briefly in this paper. Keywords : identification, mollusca, photo, species, two-dimension ABSTRAK Manusia telah mengenal hewan moluska sejak lama.

  • Evolution of the Radular Apparatus in Conoidea (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda) As Inferred from a Molecular Phylogeny
    MALACOLOGIA, 2012, 55(1): 55−90 EVOLUTION OF THE RADULAR APPARATUS IN CONOIDEA (GASTROPODA: NEOGASTROPODA) AS INFERRED FROM A MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY Yuri I. Kantor1* & Nicolas Puillandre2 ABSTRACT The anatomy and evolution of the radular apparatus in predatory marine gastropods of the superfamily Conoidea is reconstructed on the basis of a molecular phylogeny, based on three mitochondrial genes (COI, 12S and 16S) for 102 species. A unique feeding mecha- nism involving use of individual marginal radular teeth at the proboscis tip for stabbing and poisoning of prey is here assumed to appear at the earliest stages of evolution of the group. The initial major evolutionary event in Conoidea was the divergence to two main branches. One is characterized by mostly hypodermic marginal teeth and absence of an odontophore, while the other possesses a radula with primarily duplex marginal teeth, a strong subradular membrane and retains a fully functional odontophore. The radular types that have previously been considered most ancestral, “prototypic” for the group (flat marginal teeth; multicuspid lateral teeth of Drilliidae; solid recurved teeth of Pseudomelatoma and Duplicaria), were found to be derived conditions. Solid recurved teeth appeared twice, independently, in Conoidea – in Pseudomelatomidae and Terebridae. The Terebridae, the sister group of Turridae, are characterized by very high radular variability, and the transformation of the marginal radular teeth within this single clade repeats the evolution of the radular apparatus across the entire Conoidea. Key words: Conoidea, Conus, radula, molecular phylogeny, evolution, feeding mechanisms, morphological convergence, character mapping.
