LILTvED Afriean Museum, (South P.O. Box 61, Cape Town 8000, Republic ot South Afriea) In 1980 speeimens of an unusually shaped Trivia were dredged off Northern Natal by Dr. A. D. Connell of Durban. This species subsequently was found to be undescribed and is dealt with in this study. Other Trivz'a species endemie to Southern African waters, reeently described are T7ivz'a sanctispiritus Shikama 1974, Trivia calvariola Kilburn 1980 and Trivia verhoefi Gosliner and Liltved 1982. Gosliner and Liltved (1982) also compared the morphology of three endemic South African species. Trivia (Trivirostra) haUucinata n. sp. Shell small, narrowly eylindrieal. Dorsum planate, slightly concave, tapering evenly to sides and squarely produced terminals. In dorsal view, the anterior terminal is reflexed to the right, while the posterior terminal is slightly refiexed to the left. Labial margin is coneave eolumellar margin and the convex. Aperture narrow, almost straight, becorning dilated anteriorly, approximately half way along its length from the posterior end. Labrum 114 width of the base with numerous, evenly spaced dentieles, the interstiees being rounded grooves similar in shape to the profile of the denticles. The labial and columellar denticles con- tinue to form transverse ribs whieh becorne slightly narrower and terminate before reaching the summit of the dorsum. A roughly oval, smooth, glossy area devoid of ribbing is left centrally. The interstiees between the transverse ribs are coated with minute granules, giving a dull surface to the ribbed portions of the shell. The columellar, peristome is crossed by 19 (paratype)-24 (holo- of which type) ribs 9 (paratype)-11 (holotype)of which extend inward onto the broad serrate fossula. Spire completely hidden.

  • The Genital Systems of Trivia Arctica and Trivia Monacha (Prosobranchia, Mesogastropoda) and Tributyltin Induced Imposex1
    Zoo1. Beitr. N. F. 34 (3): 349 - 374 (1992) (Institut für Spezielle Zoologie und Vergleichende Embryologie der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster) The genital systems of Trivia arctica and Trivia monacha (Prosobranchia, Mesogastropoda) and tributyltin induced imposex1 EBERHARD STROBEN, CHRISTA BROlVlMEL, JORG OEHLMANN and PIO FIORONI Received June 17 , 1992 Summary The mesogastropod prosobranchs Trivia arctica and T. monacha collected along the coast of Brittany and Normandy between 1988 and 1992 exhibit imposex or pseudohermaphroditism (occurrence of male parts in addition to the female genital system) in response to tributyltin (TBT) pollution. Beside some normal females (stage 0) different imposex stages according to the classification of FIORONI et a1. (1991) (3 a, 3 band 4 for T. arctica and 3b and 4 for T. monacha) (Fig. 1) can be distinguished and are documented with scanning electron micrographs for the first time. Additional al­ terations of the genital tract e.g. excrescences on the vas deferens, a coiled oviduct, a bi- or trifurcated penis or several penes (2 - 5) are described. Neither TBT-induced sterilization nor sex change occur. TBT accumulation in soft parts shows sex-related differences. The VDS (vas deferens sequence) index, uncubed RPS (relative penis size) index and average female penis length of a population are dependent from TBT con­ centrations in ambient sea water and TBT body burden. A statistical study, based on an analysis of natural populations of T. arctica, T. monacha and Nucella lapillus allows a comparison of the specific TBT sensitivity of the three TBT bioindicators. N. lapillus exhibits a lower threshold for imposex development and a higher TBT sen­ sitivity, but both Trivia species proved to be suitable TBT bioindicators.

  • The Importance of Larval Mollusca in the Plankton. by Marie V
    335 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/8/3/335/730296 by guest on 01 October 2021 The Importance of Larval Mollusca in the Plankton. By Marie V. Lebour, Marine Biological Association, Plymouth. ITTLE was known about the biology of larval marine molluscs until quite recently, although a fair amount of scattered ' information may be found in the works of various authors, L 1 most of whom dealt with the eggs or newly hatched forms ). Their importance in the economy of the sea is very great. During the last few years the present writer has undertaken researches in the Plymouth Marine Laboratory with the object of investigating the planktonic molluscan larvae, the work so far dealing with the gastropods only. The results are astonishingly interesting, for not only have many elaborately formed and beautiful free-swimming larvae, hitherto unknown or undetermined, been identified with their adults, but many of them are found to occur in such numbers that they must influence considerably the general life of the plankton. They may do this in two ways. (1) They are wholly planktonic feeders and, in the veliger stage, with every movement they are taking into their bodies the nanno-plankton, chiefly diatoms, but also other minute organisms both animal and vegetable, thus competing to a large extent with the other plankton feeders. 1) References to these works are not given. The sign X after a name indicates that the observation is new but still unpublished, O indicating that the observation is not new but has been confirmed by the present writer.
