Diving observations and collections of benthic observations using scuba and snorkel were made at six stations in Pago Pago Harbor, two stations in Fagatele Bay, and one station each in Vatia Bay and Fagasa Bay. The purpose of this survey was to determine the full complement of organisms greater than 0.5 mm in size, including benthic algae, macroinvertebrates and fishes, occurring at each site, and to evaluate the presence and potential impact of nonindigenous (introduced) marine species.

Glover Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, U.K. email: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract - From a dredge survey of the subtidal fauna of the Dampier Archipelago a total of 422 species of macromolluscs was identified, comprising 227 gastropods, 188 bivalves, four scaphopods and three chitons. Most species were uncommon but abundant taxa included the bivalves Melaxinaea vitrea, Corbllla fZlIIlcata and C. crassa and the gastropods Herpetopoma atrata and Xenophora solarioides. Community analysis identified eight molluscan assemblages, reflecting the varied and patchy nature of the substrates that ranged from muds and silts to coarse sands, gravel, rubble and rocks. The most species-rich stations were those located inshore at water depths <10 m. These muddy stations were also notable for the diversity and abundance of suspension-feeding bivalves. Most of the mollusc species identified are distributed widely around tropical Australia and the Indo-West Pacific but a few are endemic to northwestern Australia, including the newly described lucinid bivalve Lamellolllcina pilbara.

Y. Low Abstract. An annotated checklist of the Mollusca from the Australian Indian Ocean Territories (IOT) of Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands is presented. The checklist combines data from all previous studies and new material collected during the recent Christmas Island Expeditions organised by the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (formerly the Raffles Museum of Biodiversty Resarch), Singapore. The checklist provides an overview of the diversity of the malacofauna occurring in the Cocos (Keeling) / Christmas Island ecoregion. A total of 1,178 species representing 165 families are documented, with 760 (in 130 families) and 757 (in 126 families) species recorded from Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, respectively. Forty-five species (or 3.8%) of these species are endemic to the Australian IOT. Fifty-seven molluscan records for this ecoregion are herein published for the first time. We also briefly discuss historical patterns of discovery and endemism in the malacofauna of the Australian IOT. Key words.

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.

Smaller Molluscs from a Multi-Taxon Survey (2012–2014) of the Shallow Marine Environments of the Tropical Kimberley Region, Western Australia
RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 85 117–183 (2020) DOI: 10.18195/issn.0313-122x.85.2020.117-183 SUPPLEMENT Smaller molluscs from a multi-taxon survey (2012–2014) of the shallow marine environments of the tropical Kimberley region, Western Australia Peter Middelfart*, Lisa Kirkendale and Clay Bryce Aquatic Zoology Department, Western Australia Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia, Australia * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The marine environments of Western Australia’s Kimberley region (coast to continental edge) are rich in spatial diversity and vast in scale affording a broad range of habitats for marine fauna and fora. The macromolluscan (here defned as adult molluscs >10 mm) diversity of this large marine realm has been the subject of numerous surveys over the last 50 years. However, the smaller molluscs (here defned as adult molluscs <10 mm ) have, for the most part, been ignored due to challenges in the collection and study of this assemblage. To begin to redress this imbalance a pilot project specifcally designed to target smaller molluscs was undertaken over the fnal three years (2012–2014) of the survey component of the Woodside Collection Project (Kimberley) 2009–2014. Seventy-seven stations (of 179 surveyed) were sampled yielding 1,883 identifed specimen lots representing 505 micromollusc species from ≤5 mm adult size class (following Geiger et al. 2007), 43 species from >5–10 mm adult size class, 68 species from >10 mm adult size class, which are likely to be juveniles of macromolluscs, as well as 8 species whose adult size could not be determined.
