Natieinae, Polinieinae and Sininae, were examined in relation to shel] form and size. The numbers of ]eaflets in the Polinicinae is eonsistent]y small (50-80) throughout a varied range of sizes of animal (10-60mm in shell length). All of the Polinieinae under examination except Lunatia are hemispherieal in shell shape and have strueturally eomp]ieated osphTadium. The Natieinae are spherical in she]1 shape and have an osphradium of simpler strueture with numbers of leafiets seemingly increasing with shell size, In Crypto7zatica wakkanaiensis the numbers of the leaflet are most numerous attaining up to 170, Lunatia has the shell of spherical form and pessesses the simple osphradium with about 50 leaflets. This may mean Ltmatia stands a transitional situation between the Naticinae and the Polinieinae. Sinu?n･ o'avaniettm has a depressed shell and complieated structure with 50 leaflets, Complicated osphradium is consistently found in speeies which bury deep in the substratum, while simpler one is common among speeies which either remain shallowly buried or creep on the sand. It is thus suggested that the structural complexity of this organ within the Naticidae is related tQ the mode of life, particularly degree or depth of burrowing into the soft substratum. Introduction Maeda (1983, 1986, 1988, 1989) described structures of osphradia in re- lation to the differenees in shell form, soft bodies as well as in habitat among the prosobranch family Naticidae. In these papers only 7 species were treated, 1 The present investigation on the numbers of ]eaflets and the morphology of NII-Electronic Library Service The malacologicalsocietymalacological society ofJapanof Japan 46 VENUS: Vol. 49, No.1(1990) the osphradium was extended over more speeies of the same family in order to eorroborate the previous results and to throw the new light on eeological and evolutional bearings of osphradian struetures. Materials and Methods The present materials consist of 20 species of three subfamilies, viz.

The she]1 was then crushed to open and the soft body was removed and fixed in a 10% neutral formalin. Dissection and preliminary observations of the osphradium were carried out under a dissecting microseope. Osphradia were ]ater dehydrated in ascending alcehol series, ernbedded in Paraplast, and sectioned and stained with haematoxylin-eosin. Mean number of leaflebs was counted and standard deviation was calculated except in cases where number of specimens was Iess than three per species.

Results Shells of al! species of the Polinicinae except Lunatia are hemispherical. The shell of both L. rortunei and L. ptla is like a viviparid. The Natieinae have a spherieal, while the Sininae have a depressed shell, Marked differences in leaflet numbers are observed between the Polinicinae and the Naticinae. Leaflet numbers are about 50 for Lunatia, 60-70 for Polinices, and 70-80 for both Mammilla and Glossaulax (Fig. 1). It can be seen that leafiet numbers of the Polinicinae consistently fall within a narrow range between 50 and 80 for shell width of 10-60mm regardless by species (Fig. 2). On the contrary, the number of leafiets of 7 species of the Naticinae greatly varied from 50 to 170, even though among a single genus Crytonuttica. C. hirasei has the lowest number of ]eaflets (50) for shell width of 15-20mm, while the largest number of leaflets (about 170) are found in C. waichauaiensis (Fig. 3). The NII-Electronic Library Service The malacologicalsocietymalacological society of Japan Maeda: Further Studies on Naticid Osphradium 49 number of leafiets in the Naticinae seems to increase with shell size almest in a linear fashion (Fig. 3). Sintem 2'avanicum, the only species ef the Sininae under examination presents about 50 leafiets. Histo]ogical observations on sectioned specimens of the osphradia revealed that simple structure is found in Lunatia fortunei and L. plieisptra (Pl. 1, fig. 1) while more complicated one in L. ptla. All other Polinicinae pessess osphradia with complicated structure. This can be notably seen in P. tumidus (Pl. 1, fig. 5) and P. mellosus (PL 1, fig. 4) despite their small shell width (abeut 20mm). Structurally, Mamwitla (PL 1, fig. 6) and Glossaulax are the most eomplex. Sueh comp]ieated structure is also observed in the Sininae, while all Naticinae examined have a relatively simple structure (Pl. 1, figs. 2, 3).

    Prosobranch Gastropods of Guam

    Micronesica 35-36:244-270. 2003 Prosobranch gastropods of Guam BARRY D. SMITH Marine Laboratory University of Guam Mangilao, Guam 96923 U.S.A. email: [email protected] Abstract—Based on records from invertebrate collections at the University of Guam, specimens cataloged at other institutions, and the published literature, there are 895 species of prosobranch gastropods from Guam. The vast majority of the species are marine, but terrestrial and aquatic prosobranchs are included. Most the species recorded to date are conspicuous, epibenthic species from shallow reef habitats, but some species have been taken from depths up to 400 m. Microgastropods less than 7 mm in size have been poorly investigated to date. Comparison of prosobranch gastropods from Guam and Enewetak reveal that some 56% of the species occurring at Enewetak are found in Guam. Introduction Molluscs have been collected in Guam since the arrival of the earliest inhabitants (Thompson, 1945). Despite the long history of European contact with the island, scant attention was given to systematic investigation of the fauna until the collections of Quoy and Gaimard (1824–1826; 1830–1834). Hidalgo (1904– 1905) was the first to produce a catalog that included molluscs from Guam, but his emphasis was mostly on the Philippine Islands fauna. This catalog was followed by a series of unpublished lists produced by shell collectors and shell club members during the last several decades. Synoptic collections of molluscs from Guam and Micronesia were started by faculty of the University of Guam in the mid-1960s. These collections are housed in the Richard E. Dickinson Memorial Mollusc Collection at the University of Guam Marine Laboratory.

Results of the Rumphius Biohistorical Expedition to Ambon (1990). Part 10. Mollusca, Gastropoda, Naticidae. Zool. Med. Leiden 73 (25), 6.iii.2000: 345-380, figs 1-42.— ISSN 0024-0672. Alan R. Kabat, c/o Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smith- sonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560-0163 U.S.A. Key words: Ambon; Gastropoda; Indonesia; Naticidae; Rumphius. The 1990 Rumphius Biohistorical Expedition to Ambon (Indonesia) made 44 collecting stations. Twenty-seven species representing 11 genera of the Naticidae (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda) were collected at 29 stations. This paper provides keys to the genera and species, along with diagnoses and short synonymies of the species. The modern identity of the thirteen naticid species known to Rumphius in his “D’Amboinsche Rariteitkamer” (1705) is determined. Fifty described species of Nati- cidae are currently known from Malaysia and Indonesia, with 38 known from Ambon itself (this expedition and older museum collections).
