(Pulmonata: Vertiginidae) and Strobilops
Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2012. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis & Lucius G. Eldredge. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 114: 39 –42 (2013) Hawaiian land snail records : Lyropupa cookei Clench , 1952 (Pulmonata : Vertiginidae ) and Strobilops aeneus Pilsbry , 1926 (Pulmonata : Strobilopsidae ) CARl C. C HRiSTeNSeN Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817-2704, USA; email: [email protected] This note clarifies the status of two taxa of land snails that have been reported to occur in the Hawaiian islands. Lyropupa cookei Clench, 1952, is shown to be a synonym of Lyropupa anceyana Cooke & Pilsbry in Pilsbry & Cooke, 1920. The sole Hawaiian record for the North American Strobilops aeneus Pilsbry, 1926, is almost certainly based on a mislabeled specimen, and accordingly this species should be removed from the Hawaiian faunal list. Lyropupa cookei Clench , 1952 Lyropupa Pilsbry, 1900, is a genus of pupilloid land snails endemic to the Hawaiian islands. in their monograph of the genus, Pilsbry & Cooke (1920 in 1918–1920: 253–254, pl. 26, figs. 3, 6) published a description of “ Lyropupa anceyana C. & P., n. sp.,” based on specimens from ola‘a on the island of Hawai‘i held in the collections of Bishop Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. They stated that their new species had previously been misidentified by Ancey (1904:124) as Lyropupa lyrata (Gould, 1843) . Several pages earlier, in their systematic treatment of that species, Pilsbry & Cooke (1918–1920: 235) had also set forth their conclusion that Ancey had misidenti - fied Gould’s species and stated that in fact Ancey’s “description of lyrata was based on specimens of an unnamed species for which the name L. -
Gastropoda, Diplommatinidae, Strobilopsidae and Ariophantidae)
BASTERIA, 70:13-18, 2006 Four new species of terrestrial gastropods from Tonkin, North Vietnam (Gastropoda, Diplommatinidae, Strobilopsidae and Ariophantidae) Wim+J.M. Maassen National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, P.O. Box 9517, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands Four new species of terrestrial molluscs are described from northern Vietnam, viz. Arinia angduensis, A. loumboensis,Eostrobilops infrequens, and Hemiplecta esculenta. Key words: Gastropoda, Caenogastropoda, Diplommatinidae, Pulmonata, Strobilopsidae, Ariophantidae, taxonomy, South East Asia, Vietnam. INTRODUCTION Even though quite a numberof molluscanspecies has been reported from Vietnam by now, that part of the fauna cannot yet be considered well-known. Only half the material collected during two surveys (Vermeulen & Whitten, 1998; Maassen, 2003) in northern Vietnam, and consisting of about 310 species, couldbe identified.This does not mean that the other half consists of that but number of species are new to science, quite a new ones may be expected, in particular amongst the minute snails. Formerly, small gastropods were described sometimes without any figures (especially by Von Moellendorff), or with illustrations such small scale that characteristic details at a are not or hardly visible. Only by studying the type specimens of all congeneric species from a particular region their be verified then. These do the that identity can problems not apply to species are described in this as new paper. Similar species are unknown from the area as could be concluded from the literature.

Hawaiian Tree Snail Genetics
Appendix ES-9 Introduction Recent evolutionary radiations on island chains such as the Hawaiian Islands can provide insight into evolutionary processes, such as genetic drift and adaptation (Wallace 1880, Grant and Grant 1994, Losos and Ricklefs 2009). For limited mobility species, colonization processes hold important evolutionary stories not just among islands, but within islands as well (Holland and Hadfield 2002, Parent 2012). One such radiation produced at least 91 species of Hawaiian tree snails in the endemic subfamily Achatinellinae, on at least five of the six main Hawaiian Islands: O‘ahu, Maui, Lana‘i, Moloka‘i, and Hawai‘i (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914, Holland and Hadfield 2007). As simultaneous hermaphrodites with the ability to self-fertilize, colonization events among islands may have occurred via the accidental transfer of a single individual by birds (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914), or via land bridges that connected Maui, Molokai, and Lanai at various points in geologic history (Price and Elliot- Fisk 2004). Early naturalists attributed speciation solely to genetic drift, noting that this subfamily was “still a youthful group in the full flower of their evolution” (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914). However, as these species evolved over dramatic precipitation and temperature gradients, natural selection and adaptation may have been quite rapid as species expanded to fill unexploited niches along environmental gradients, early in this subfamily’s history. As such, species in the subfamily Achatinellinae provide an excellent system for examining both neutral and adaptive processes of evolution. Habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and over-harvesting by collectors led to the extinction of more than 50 species in the subfamily Achatinellinae, and resulted in the declaration of all remaining species in the genus Achatinella as Endangered (Hadfield and Mountain 1980; U.S. -

H AYeS 2,3 Howard University, 415 College Street NW, Washington, DC 20059, USA; email: [email protected] Hawaii supports one of the world’s most spectacular land snail radiations and is a diversity hotspot (Solem 1983, 1984, Cowie 1996a, b). Unfortunately, much of the Hawaiian land snail fauna has been lost, with overall extinction rates as high as ~70% (Hayes et al ., unpubl. data). However, the recent rediscovery of an extinct species provides hope that all is not lost, yet continued habitat destruction, impacts of invasive species, and climate change, necessi - tate the immediate development and deployment of effective conservation strategies to save this biodiversity treasure before it vanishes entirely (Solem 1990, Rég nier et al . 2009). Achatinellidae Auriculella pulchra Pease 1868 Notable rediscovery Auriculella pulchra (Fig. 1) belongs in the Auriculellinae, a Hawaiian endemic land snail subfamily of the Achatinellidae with 32 species (Cowie et al . 1995). It was originally described from the island of O‘ahu in 1868 and was subsequently recorded throughout the Ko‘olau Mountain range. -
