Some Thoughts and Personal Opinions About Molluscan Scientific Names
A name is a name is a name: some thoughts and personal opinions about molluscan scientifi c names S. Peter Dance Dance, S.P. A name is a name is a name: some thoughts and personal opinions about molluscan scien- tifi c names. Zool. Med. Leiden 83 (7), 9.vii.2009: 565-576, fi gs 1-9.― ISSN 0024-0672. S.P. Dance, Cavendish House, 83 Warwick Road, Carlisle CA1 1EB, U.K. ([email protected]). Key words: Mollusca, scientifi c names. Since 1758, with the publication of Systema Naturae by Linnaeus, thousands of scientifi c names have been proposed for molluscs. The derivation and uses of many of them are here examined from various viewpoints, beginning with names based on appearance, size, vertical distribution, and location. There follow names that are amusing, inventive, ingenious, cryptic, ideal, names supposedly blasphemous, and names honouring persons and pets. Pseudo-names, diffi cult names and names that are long or short, over-used, or have sexual connotations are also examined. Pertinent quotations, taken from the non-scientifi c writings of Gertrude Stein, Lord Byron and William Shakespeare, have been incorporated for the benefi t of those who may be inclined to take scientifi c names too seriously. Introduction Posterity may remember Gertrude Stein only for ‘A rose is a rose is a rose’. The mean- ing behind this apparently meaningless statement, she said, was that a thing is what it is, the name invoking the images and emotions associated with it. One of the most cele- brated lines in twentieth-century poetry, it highlights the importance of names by a sim- ple process of repetition. -

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.

ABSTRACT - A new species of eolid (Mollusca, Nudibranchia)is described from Nigeria and named in honour of Eveline Marcus, Flabellina evelinae. INTRODUCTION The eolid molluscs described in this paper were collected by Dr. Jim Wright near Port Harcourt, Nigeria and sent to me in April 1983. They appear to belong to a hitherto undescribed species. The first of a long series of important taxonomic pa pers by Ernst and Eveline Marcus describing the opisthobranch molluscs of the Atlantic Ocean was published in 1955. Although under the authorship of Ernst Marcus, right from the start Eveline was involved in the work as the artist while Ernst delved into the relevant literature. In the 1960s nu - merous papers under joint authorship followed until Ernst's death, and it is to her credit that Eveline has continued the detailed and meticulous work right up to the present time. The papers followed the earlier work of Odhner (1939) and Macnae (1954), and quickly adopted a form of presentation of taxonomic information of a very high standard. Taxonomic papers can be tedious, but they are an essential foundation on which later ecological, behavioural and physiological studies are based. In consequence they must be well organised for quick reference to the relevant section, clearly illus - trated for immediate comparison by future workers, comprehen sive since future work may reveal some character of taxono - mic importance which had hitherto been considered trivial , yet concisely worded to save wading through irrelevant de tail. -

Some ambiguous morphological features compared with the original descriptions of the known species of the genus, C. glaucoides and C. gobioophaga hampered easy identification. Genetic data (COI and 16S sequences) confirmed the distinction between the two species of the genus Calma, and allowed unambiguous identification of the Croatian specimens as Calma gobioophaga. This is the first record of this species for the Mediterranean and extends its distribution range remarkably. -

Several authors have studied the marine Heterobranchia (Mollusca, Gastropoda) fauna composition living in the Ionian Sea, but to date further knowledge regarding this interesting group of mollusks is still needed. Recent studies have corroborated the peculiarity of the Mediterranean Sea showing high levels of endemism and cryptic diversity. On the other hand, marine sea slugs have been revealed to be important indicators of the marine ecosystem’s health, due to their species-specific diet that consist of a vast variety of sessile and benthic invertebrates. A baseline study of the marine Heterobranchia diversity is therefore a necessary step to reveal the hidden diversity and to monitor the possible presence of alien species. The present study shows results from approximately 600 scientific dives carried out during a nine-year period in all of the main submarine habitats of the studied area, while accounting for the marine Heterobranchia from both the Ionian and Adriatic Seas.
