Zacconi 16, 50137 Florence, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Coen introduced several new nominal taxa in the Pyramidellidae and in most Mollusca families. The Coen types, now at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, have been examined; most of them are holotypes or lectotypes. Some lectotypes were already selected by van Aartsen, as stated in the label, therefore we have not done any further selection of types. The new pyramidellid species have been practically identified and named by Monterosato, and were all found in shell grit collected on the beach of Lido (a small island in front of Venice). None of the Coen’s new species seems to be valid. KEY WORDS Coen collection; Pyramidellidae; Adriatic Sea; Mediterranean Sea.

A total of 133 benthic taxa have been recorded, and their distribution evaluated according to depth and seasonality. Bathymetric distribution showed scanty differences between the 4-6 meters and 12-16 meters depth levels, sharing all the 22 most abundant species. Season markedly affected species composition, since 42 taxa were exclusively recorded in spring and 35 in autumn, contrary to 56 shared taxa. The occurrence of some uncommon taxa has also been discussed. The benthic mollusc assemblages, although sampled in Ionian Sea, showed a clear western species composition, in accordance with literature placing east of the Strait the bound- ary line between western and eastern Mediterranean eco-regions.

  • Pyramidellidae Turbonilla
    Pyramidellidae Subfamily Turbonillinae Genus Turbonilla Species recorded from the SCB By Tony Phillips DCE At the October 2010 SCAMIT meeting it was suggested by Pat LaFollette for us to take high quality, detailed photographs of our Turbonilla, Pyrgiscus and Odostomia species (don’t forget scale bars, locality and depth information!) and share with him and with each other. If it is possible to assign it unequivocally to a described species, he will aid us in giving specimens names…... He also suggested we use Abbott 1974 as a primary resource.....

    HELGOLANDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol~inder Meeresunters. 42,303-318 (1988) The ultrastructure of spermatozoa and spermiogenesis in pyramidellid gastropods, and its systematic importance John M. Healy School of Biological Sciences (Zoology, A08), University of Sydney; 2006, New South Wales, Australia ABSTRACT: Ultrastructural observations on spermiogenesis and spermatozoa of selected pyramidellid gastropods (species of Turbonilla, ~gulina, Cingufina and Hinemoa) are presented. During spermatid development, the condensing nucleus becomes initially anterio-posteriorly com- pressed or sometimes cup-shaped. Concurrently, the acrosomal complex attaches to an electron- dense layer at the presumptive anterior pole of the nucleus, while at the opposite (posterior) pole of the nucleus a shallow invagination is formed to accommodate the centriolar derivative. Midpiece formation begins soon after these events have taken place, and involves the following processes: (1) the wrapping of individual mitochondria around the axoneme/coarse fibre complex; (2) later internal metamorphosis resulting in replacement of cristae by paracrystalline layers which envelope the matrix material; and (3) formation of a glycogen-filled helix within the mitochondrial derivative (via a secondary wrapping of mitochondria). Advanced stages of nuclear condensation {elongation, transformation of fibres into lamellae, subsequent compaction) and midpiece formation proceed within a microtubular sheath ('manchette'). Pyramidellid spermatozoa consist of an acrosomal complex (round

    ^^ FIELDIANA • ZOOLOGY 3 Published by CHICAGO NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM Volume 39 October 17, 1958 No. 20 MARINE MOLLUSKS FROM BOUGAINVILLE AND FLORIDA, SOLOMON ISLANDS Alan Solem Assistant Curator, Division of Lower Invertebrates My checklist of the Solomon Island marine and fresh-water mol- lusks (Solem, 1953) was based on a large collection donated to Chicago Natural History Museum by Captain J. M. Ross and sup- plemented by a series of records in the literature. Two small collec- tions of marine shells given to the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology add to our knowledge of the fauna, and the additional data are reported below. I did not communicate with Dr. C. E. Fox, who presented the shells to Captain Ross, until after the checklist had been published. Dr. Fox then informed me that all the shells he gave to Captain Ross were found near Guadalcanal and Malaita Islands. The local- ity "Solomon Islands" cited by me (Solem, 1953) for the Fox col- lection should be restricted to "Guadalcanal and Malaita." Since September, 1952, when my manuscript (Solem, 1953) was submitted, the checklist of Kuroda and Habe (1952), the semi-pop- ular book of Kira (1955), and the ecological study of Demond (1957) have brought to my attention a number of nomenclatural changes affecting the names used by me (Solem, 1953) . These changes in no way alter the taxonomic position of the genera and species—only the names applied to the units. Both below, and in a report on the New Hebridean marine fauna (Solem, in press), a number of nomen- clatural changes are recorded.

For this purpose, the material collected from the area between the years 2005 and 2009, within the framework of different projects, was investigated. The investigation of the material taken from various biotopes ranging at depths between 0 and 100 m resulted in identification of 286 mollusc species and 27542 specimens belonging to them. Among the encountered species, Vitreolina cf. perminima (Jeffreys, 1883) is new record for the Turkish molluscan fauna and 18 species are being new records for the Turkish Levantine coast. A checklist of Iskenderun mollusc fauna is given based on the present study and the studies carried out beforehand, and a total of 424 moluscan species are known to be distributed in Iskenderun Bay.

Keywords: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Pyramidellidae, Turbonilla, Tasucu, SE Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean. Introduction: The genus Turbonilla is represented in the European seas with about fifty species, while those recorded from the Mediterranean Sea include about thirty of these species. A few of the West African species have recently been discovered as also present in the western Mediterranean. The genus is characterised by a tall shell with axial ribs, sometimes with spiral sculpture, an intorted type of protoconch, mostly of type A (Aartsen 1981), and the lack of a columellar tooth or fold. Most of the species are white but a few possess a particular colouration. Recently a few European species, which in the past had been placed in the genus Turbonilla, have now been assigned to other genera on the basis of particular characters of the shell. During a dive at Tasucu, SE Turkey the first author collected a sample of bioclastic detritus from a depth of 8 metres. During the sorting out of the detritus, twenty-six specimens of a Turbonilla sp. were set aside for further examination. From their particular sculpture they were different from any of the known Mediterranean, the West African and Indo-Pacific species, and is described herein as new to science.

Croce 97 00142 Rome, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 3Via di Valle Aurelia 134/C, 00167 Rome, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Following the comparison with photos of type material of Odostomia crassa Jeffreys, 1884, (Gastropoda Pyramidellidae) deposited at the British Museum of Natural History, and further observations on specimens from whole Mediterranean, O. crassa is proved to be junior syn- onym of Eulimella unifasciata (Forbes, 1844). The latter is here placed in genus Tibersyrnola Laws, 1937 on the basis of the constant presence of flutings inside the whorls.
