SURVEY of the LITERATURE on RECENT SHELLS from the RED SEA (Second Enlarged and Revised Edition)
TRITON 24 SEPTEMBER 2011 SUPPLEMENT 1 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (second enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert *) Abstract: About 2,100 references are listed in the survey. Shells are being considered here as shell-bearing mollusks of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. And the region covered is not only the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, including Somalia, and the Suez Canal, including Lessepsian species. Literature on fossils finds, especially from the Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Recently I decide to stop gathering information in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a survey of approximately 1,420 references (Van Gemert, 2010). Since then, this survey has been enlarged considerably and contains now approximately 2,100 references. They are presented here. Scope In principle every publication in which mollusks are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to profesional malacologists but also by people interested in other fields. This implies that not only malacological journals and books should be considered, but also publications from other fields or disciplines, such as environmental pollution, toxicology, parasitology, aquaculture, fisheries, biochemistry, biogeography, geology, sedimentology, ecology, archaeology, Egyptology and palaeontology, in which Red Sea shells are mentioned. -

Shells are being considered here as the shell bearing molluscs of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. The area does not only comprise the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, Somalia and the Suez Canal, including the Lessepsian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Literature on fossils shells, particularly those from the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Some years ago I decide to stop gathering data in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a first survey of approximately 1,420 and a second one of 2,025 references (van Gemert, 2010 & 2011). Since then, this survey has again been enlarged and revised and a number of errors have been corrected. It contains now approximately 3,050 references. Scope In principle every publication in which molluscs are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too.

Littorinidae, Gastropoda)
SPAWNING ACTIVITY IN NODILITTORINA EXIGUA Title AND PEASIELLA ROEPSTORFFIANA (LITTORINIDAE, GASTROPODA) Author(s) Ohgaki, Shun-ichi PUBLICATIONS OF THE SETO MARINE BIOLOGICAL Citation LABORATORY (1981), 26(4-6): 437-446 Issue Date 1981-09-30 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/176028 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University SPAWNING ACTIVITY IN NODILITTORINA EXIGUA AND PEAS/ELLA ROEPSTORFFIANA (LITTORINIDAE, GASTROPODA) 1> SHUN-ICHI OHGAKI Seto Marine Biological Laboratory, Kyoto University W£th Text-figures 1-6 Abstract Periodicity in spawning was studied for the two species of Littorinidae, Nodilittorina exigua and Peasiella roepstorffiana at Shirahama, Wakayama Pref. Breeding season of N. exigua is summer, active spawning being associated with strong waves and not with spring tides. Egg release is active at around high tides in the field and this habit is preserved for some time in the laboratory. Peasiella roepstorffiana also spawns in summer and its active spawning is related to both lunar phase and daily tidal cycle. The difference in spawning habit is related to the difference in the distribution height of these species under the influence of the tidal regime in upper littoral zone. Introduction Nodilittorina exigua (Dunker, 1890) is a very common species on seashore rocks above high tide mark around the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory (Shirahama, Wakayama Pref., Japan). This species has been called by different names: Littorina exigua by Mitsukuri (1901), Tectarius granularis by Hukuda (1950) and Nodilittorina granular£s by Habe (1956) and Kojima (1960); the present species name Nodil£ttorina exigua is adopted according to Rosewater (1970) and Habe (personal communication). -
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. -
The Subfamily Littorininae (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) in the Temperate Southern Hemisphere: the Genera Nodilittorina, Austrolittorina and Afrolittorina
© Copyright Australian Museum, 2004 Records of the Australian Museum (2004) Vol. 56: 75-122. ISSN 0067-1975 The Subfamily Littorininae (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) in the Temperate Southern Hemisphere: The Genera Nodilittorina, Austrolittorina and Afrolittorina D avid G. R e id * a n d S u z a n n e T. W il l ia m s Department of Zoology, The Natural Elistory Museum, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom [email protected] • [email protected] ABSTRACT. The littorinine gastropods of the temperate southern continents were formerly classified together with tropical species in the large genus Nodilittorina. Recently, molecular data have shown that they belong in three distinct genera, Austrolittorina, Afrolittorina and Nodilittorina, whereas the tropical species are members of a fourth genus, Echinolittorina. Austrolittorina contains 5 species: A. unifasciata in Australia, A. antipodum and A. cincta in New Zealand, and A. fernandezensis and A. araucana in western South America. Afrolittorina contains 4 species: A. africana and A. knysnaensis in southern Africa, and A. praetermissa and A. acutispira in Australia. Nodilittorina is monotypic, containing only the Australian N. pyramidalis. This paper presents the first detailed morphological descriptions of the African and Australasian species of these three southern genera (the eastern Pacific species have been described elsewhere). The species-level taxonomy of several of these has been confused in the past; Afrolittorina africana and A. knysnaensis are here distinguished as separate taxa; Austrolittorina antipodum is a distinct species and not a subspecies of A. unifasciata', Nodilittorina pyramidalis is separated from the tropical Echinolittorina trochoides with similar shell characters. In addition to descriptions of shells, radulae and reproductive anatomy, distribution maps are given, and the ecological literature reviewed. -
King & Broderip
MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY ON UTTOR/NA FLAVA (KING & BRODERIP) FROM BRAZIL (CAENOGASTROPODA, LlTTORINIDAE) Luiz Ricardo L. Simone 1 ABSTRACT. A detailed morphological study ofthe littorinid Lillorina.flava (King & Broderip), from Venezuelan and Brazilian coasts, is given and commented. A consid erable degree of shell characters variation was found, mainly in color and sculpture. The pallial cavity presents normal fashion ofmesogastropods, without any detectable morphological modification for the long air-exposure. The digestive system present odontophore muscles vely similar to those of the cerithioideans and hydrobioideans; the radula, however, is enormously long; the stomach lacks differentiable style saco The penis is characteristic in lacking annex glands. The pallial oviduct has no jelly gland, and has a well developed bursa copulatrix and vaginal lube. KEY WORDS. Mollusca, Littorina.flava, morphology, syslematics, Brazil Littorina flava King & Broderip, 1832 is one of the most common species ofBrazilian coast, occurring in almost its entire supra tidal area. Although generally occurring on rocks of open sea or bays, sometimes L.flava is found also in estuarine environment (FURTADO-OGAWA 1975; RIos 1994). Some systematic studies on this species, and other Western Atlantic relati ves, are found in literature (BEQUAERT 1943; BANDEL & KADOLSKY 1982), and even some brief anatomical data (MARCUS & MARCUS 1963). ln the mean time, some systematic doubts still persist, one ofthem is the validity ofthe specific levei offlava. Some authors consider it as vali d species (MARCUS & MARCUS 1963; RIos 1994), others as subspecies of L. nebulosa (Lamarck, 1822) (BEQUAERT 1943; MA TTHEWS 1968) whi le others as sy nonyms (ABBOTT 1974). The shell characters, the base for this discussion, apparently does not bear sufficient data for its solution. -

Gastropods and Their Habitats from the Northern Red Sea (Egypt: Safaga) Part 2: Caenogastropoda: Sorbeoconcha and Littorinimorpha
©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, Serie A 113 373–509 Wien, Mai 2011 Gastropods and their habitats from the northern Red Sea (Egypt: Safaga) Part 2: Caenogastropoda: Sorbeoconcha and Littorinimorpha By Ronald JANSSEN , Martin ZUSCHIN and Christian BAAL (With 28 plates, 7 figures and 4 tables) Manuscript submitted on January 18th 2011, the revised manuscript on February 18th 2011 Abstract Almost 5,900 shells from a highly structured, coral-dominated coastal area of approximately 75 km2 were studied and yielded 112 species of Sorbeoconcha and Littorinimorpha as well as one Vetigastropoda (in supplement to part 1). All species are figured and the taxonomy of many species is discussed in detail. Twelve species are recorded for the Red Sea for the first time. The high spe- cies richness was obtained from 119 quantitative and qualitative samples, which covered a broad range of soft and hard substrates in water depths from the intertidal down to 50 m. At all system- atic levels (superfamilies, families, genera, species) well more than two third of the taxa belong to the Littorinimorpha, although 59 % of the studied shells are Sorbeoconcha. The Cerithioidea and Rissooidea together make up more than three quarters of the shells and also have the highest spe- cies- and genus richness. High diversity is also present in the Tonnoidea, Stromboidea, Naticoidea, Cypraeoidea and Vanikoroidea, which together, however, make up only 10 % of the studied shells. The majority of species was found in quantitative bulk samples from soft substrates. The highest species richness occurred in sandy, coral-associated sediments.
