  • Anatomy of Zetela Alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 Casts Doubt on Its Original Placement Based on Conchological Characters
    SPIXIANA 40 2 161-170 München, Dezember 2017 ISSN 0341-8391 Anatomy of Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 casts doubt on its original placement based on conchological characters (Mollusca, Solariellidae) Enrico Schwabe, Martin Heß, Lauren Sumner-Rooney & Javier Sellanes Schwabe, E., Heß, M., Sumner-Rooney, L. H. & Sellanes, J. 2017. Anatomy of Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 casts doubt on its original placement based on con- chological characters (Mollusca, Solariellidae). Spixiana 40 (2): 161-170. Zetela is a genus of marine gastropods belonging to the family Solariellidae (Vetigastropoda, Trochoidea). The species Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 was origi- nally described using classical conchological characters from samples obtained from deep water off Chiloé, Chile, but no other features were recorded in the original description. In the present paper, taxonomically relevant characters such as the operculum, radula, and soft part anatomy are illustrated and described for the first time from a specimen of Zetela alphonsi from a new locality, a methane seep area off the coast of central Chile. We find that many features differ substantially from other members of the genus, including several which deviate from characters that are diagnostic for Zetela. Zetela alphonsi also lacks retinal screening pigment, giving the appearance of eyelessness from gross examination. Although pigmenta- tion loss has been reported in other deep sea genera, this feature has not been re- ported in any other members of Zetela. We reconstructed a tomographic model of the eye and eyestalk, and demonstrate that a vestigial eye is still present but exter- nally invisible due to the loss of pigmentation. Based on these new morphological characters, particularly observations of the radula, we suggest that the current placement of this species in the genus Zetela should be reconsidered.

The McLean family moved to Dobbs Ferry, New York, on the Hudson River in 1940, a short train ride and subway ride away from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). His brother Hugh recalled that, “AMNH became the place of choice to go to whenever we could get someone to take us. Those visits opened our eyes to the variety and possibilities of what was out there, waiting for us to discover and collect.” From an early age James seemed destined to have a career at a museum (Figs 1–2).

  • Fossil and Recent Molluscan Types in the Auckland War Memorial Museum
    Fossil and Recent molluscan types in the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Part 3: Gastropoda (Patellogastropoda and Vetigastropoda) Wilma M. Blom Auckland War Memorial Museum Abstract The Marine Department of Auckland War Memorial Museum has an actively growing type collection with over 1770 primary types and a further 1836 paratypes and paralectotypes. The majority are molluscan, and this third part of a catalogue of these collections reviews the types for 12 Patellogastropoda and 184 Vetigastropoda species and subspecies. It deals with 130 primary types and 142 secondary type lots, which are split between 140 Recent taxa and 56 fossil taxa. Eleven of the holotypes reviewed here are illustrated for the first time. Keywords Auckland Museum; name-bearing types; Mollusca; Patellogastropoda; Vetigastopoda. INTRODUCTION time, and those used by early curators are often vastly different from modern systems and methodologies. For The Marine Department of Auckland War Memorial example, many early collectors, curators included, did Museum (Auckland Museum) holds over 1770 lots of not record collection dates. So, many early specimens name-bearing types, in the form of holotypes, neotypes, lack this information and the only way to get indicative syntypes and lectotypes, and a further 1836 paratypes collecting dates is if it is known when – and where – and paralectotypes.

    Unanticipated discovery of two rare gastropod molluscs from recently located hydrothermally influenced areas in the Okinawa Trough Chong Chen1, Hiromi Kayama Watanabe2,3,4, Junichi Miyazaki1,3,4 and Shinsuke Kawagucci1,3,4 1 Department of Subsurface Geobiological Analysis and Research, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan 2 Department of Marine Biodiversity Research, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan 3 Research and Development Center for Submarine Resources, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan 4 Project Team for Development of New-generation Research Protocol for Submarine Resources, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan ABSTRACT Background. The deep-sea hydrothermal vent is one of the most `extreme' environ- ments in the marine realm. Few species are capable of inhabiting such ecosystems, despite extremely high productivity there supported by microbial chemosynthesis, leading to high biomass and low species richness. Although gastropod molluscs are one of the main constituents of megafaunal communities at vent ecosystems, most species belong to several typical families (e.g., Provannidae, Peltospiridae, Lepetodrilidae) specialised and adapted to life at vents. Methods. During recent surveys of Okinawa Trough hydrothermal vent systems, two snails atypical of vent ecosystems were unexpectedly found in newly discovered hydrothermally influenced areas. Shell and radular characteristics were used to identify the gastropods morphologically. Results. One species was a vetigastropod, the calliostomatid Tristichotrochus ikukoae Submitted 12 October 2017 (Sakurai, 1994); and the other was a caenogastropod, the muricid Abyssotrophon soyoae Accepted 13 November 2017 Published 1 December 2017 (Okutani, 1959).

POIRIERIA Vol 9 Part 1 June 1977 JALCIS ( PICTOBALCIS ) APTICULATA (Sowerby) While the shells of our small, very slender species of the genus Bale is are invariably white - sometimes porcellanous and sometimes glossy - we seem to have gained fairly recently a species which is delightfully different. This is Pictobalcis articulata ., first recorded from New South Wales, and now not infrequently collected in beach drifts from Cape Maria .to at least as far South as Whangaruru. The first examples recorded in New Zealand were collected in 1971.

' while from each varix runs a vertical stripe on the base of the shell. Ground colour is porcellanous white. The largest examples I have seen came from Cape Maria van Diemen and measured just over '30mm x which is considerably larger than the type specimen from Australia. The molluscs belonging to this genus are parasitic - mostly on echinoderms, but v;e dOj in fact, know very little about the hosts of our own New Zealand. species , most of which are no more than 5 or 6 ram in length. * * * * * A NOTE ON DREDGING OFF TOLAGA BAY R, M.

Biography James Hamilton McLean was born in Detroit, Michigan, on June 17, 1936. The McLean family moved to Dobbs Ferry, New York, on the Hudson River in 1940, a short train ride and subway ride away from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). His brother Hugh recalled that, “AMNH became the place of choice to go to whenever we could get someone to take us. Those visits opened our eyes to the variety and possibilities of what was out there, waiting for us to discover and collect.” From an early age James seemed destined to have a career at a museum (Figs 1–2).
