Marine molluscs were surveyed at 42 stations: 41 by SCUBA and one intertidal beach survey. A total of 279 species of marine molluscs in three classes were recorded: 181 species of gastropods in 53 families, 97 species of bivalves in 26 families and a single species of cephalopod (Sepia pharaonis Ehrenberg, 1831). A mean of 21.8 species was recorded per site. The range was from 4 to 96 species. The highest diversity site was at Kyun Philar Island. The most widespread species were the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758) (33 sites), muricid Chicoreus ramosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (21 stations), turbinid Astralium rhodostomum (Lamarck, 1822) (19 sites) and the wing shell Pteria penguin (Röding, 1798) (16 sites). Data from this study were compared with molluscan studies from the Gulf of Thailand, the Andaman Sea sites in Thailand and Singapore. Fifty-eight mollusc species in Myanmar were not found in the other areas. -
First Observation and Range Extension of the Nudibranch Tenellia Catachroma (Burn, 1963) in Western Australia (Mollusca: Gastropoda)
CSIRO Publishing The Royal Society of Victoria, 129, 37–40, 2017 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/rs 10.1071/RS17003 A VICTORIAN EMIGRANT: FIRST OBSERVATION AND RANGE EXTENSION OF THE NUDIBRANCH TENELLIA CATACHROMA (BURN, 1963) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA) Matt J. NiMbs National Marine Science Centre, Southern Cross University, PO Box 4321, Coffs Harbour, NSW 2450, Australia Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The southwest coast of Western Australia is heavily influenced by the south-flowing Leeuwin Current. In summer, the current shifts and the north-flowing Capes Current delivers water from the south to nearshore environments and with it a supply of larvae from cooler waters. The nudibranch Tenellia catachroma (Burn, 1963) was considered restricted to Victorian waters; however, its discovery in eastern South Australia in 2013 revealed its capacity to expand its range west. In March 2017 a single individual was observed in shallow subtidal waters at Cape Peron, Western Australia, some 2000 km to the west of its previous range limit. Moreover, its distribution has extended northwards, possibly aided by the Capes Current, into a location of warming. This observation significantly increases the range for this Victorian emigrant to encompass most of the southern Australian coast, and also represents an equatorward shift at a time when the reverse is expected. Keywords: climate change, Cape Peron, range extension, Leeuwin Current, Capes Current The fionid nudibranch Tenellia catachroma (Burn, 1963) first found in southern NSW in 1979 (Rudman 1998), has was first described from two specimens found at Point been observed only a handful of times since and was also Danger, near Torquay, Victoria, in 1961 (Burn 1963). -

All India Coordinated Project on Taxonomy – Mollusca , Gujarat State 1. Introduction Gujarat has a long coastline of about 1650 km, which is mainly due to the presence of two gulfs viz. the Gulf of Khambhat (GoKh) and Gulf of Kachchh (GoK). The coastline has diverse habitats such as rocky, sandy, mangroves, coral reefs etc. The southern shore of the GoK in the western India, notified as Marine National Park and Sanctuary (MNP & S), harbours most of these major habitats. The reef areas of the GoK are rich in flora and fauna; Narara, Dwarka, Poshitra, Shivrajpur, Paga, Boria, Chank and Okha are some of these pristine areas of the GoK and its surrounding environs. -

Frank The opisthobranch molluscs of Oregon have been little studied, and little is known about the biology of many species. The present study consisted of field and laboratory observations of Cape Arago opistho- branchs. Forty-six species were found, extending the range of six north- ward and two southward. New food records are presented for nine species; an additional 20 species were observed feeding on previously recorded prey. Development data are given for 21 species. Twenty produce plank- totrophic larvae, and Doto amyra produces lecithotrophic larvae, the first such example known from Eastern Pacific opisthobranchs. Hallaxa chani appears to be the first eudoridacean nudibranch known to have a subannual life cycle. Development, life cycles, food and competition, iv ranges, and the ecological role of nudibranchs are discussed. Nudi- branchs appear to significantly affect the diversity of the Cape Arago encrusting community. -

The newly collected Japanese specimens of T. lenkae are compared with those from the type locality of this species in Peter the Great Bay in the Sea of Japan, Russia, using external and internal morphological data and molecular analyses. The molecular study revealed high genetic homogeneity between Japanese and Russian populations of T. lenkae. The integrative morphological and molecular data thus clearly suggest that the same species occurs in Russia and Japan. Keywords: Japanese fauna, molecular analysis, morphology, nudibranchs, taxonomy Introduction The recently restored family Trinchesiidae Nordsieck, 1972 is a large and diverse group of predominantly small-sized aeolidacean nudibranchs (Korshunova et al., 2017a). Representatives of this family have been reported from Japan and included the genera Catriona Winckworth, 1941, “Cuthona” Alder & Hancock, 1855 s.l., Phestilla Bergh, 1874, Tenellia Costa, 1866 s.str., and Trinchesia Ihering, 1879 (e.g., Baba, 1937, 1949, 1955, 1961, 1975, 1984; Hamatani, 1993; Hirano & Hirano, 1991; Nakano, 2004). -

Denotations: (™) = Genotype @ = Associated to * = General note PHYLUM, CLASSIS, SUBCLASSIS, SUPERORDO, ORDO, SUBORDO, INFRAORDO, Superfamilia, Familia, Subfamilia, Genus & species N.B.: This is one of several preliminary check-lists, covering S Scandinavian marine animal (and partly marine protoctistan) taxa. Some financial support from (or via) NKMB (Nordiskt Kollegium för Marin Biologi), during the last years of the existence of this organization (until 1993), is thankfully acknowledged. The primary purpose of these checklists is to faciliate for everyone, trying to identify organisms from the area, to know which species that earlier have been encountered there, or in neighbouring areas. A secondary purpose is to faciliate for non-experts to put as correct names as possible on organisms, including names of authors and years of description. So far these checklists are very preliminary. Due to restricted access to literature there are (some known, and probably many unknown) omissions in the lists. Certainly also several errors may be found, especially regarding taxa like Plathelminthes and Nematoda, where the experience of the compiler is very rudimentary, or. e.g. Porifera, where, at least in certain families, taxonomic confusion seems to prevail. This is very much a small modernization of T.
