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 This catalog was followed by a series of unpublished lists produced by shell collectors and shell club members during the last several decades.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. -

Many of the Triphoridae have distinctive color patterns, teleoconch facies, shell shape, and siphon and shell size, which have been used for the classification of these animals. However, -

Hope J.liacpherson, B.Sc., Conchologist, National Museum of Victoria, and Rev. E. I-I. Olic1ipple, Honorary Palaeontologist and Conchologi'.st, National JJfoseurn of Victoria. INTRODUC'l'ION This list is an atte1npt to express, in terms of modern nomen clature, the species recorded fr0111 the Victorian coast. It is based entirely upon the writings of earlier workers, and the authors have had no opportunity of personally verifying all the species listed. The data with some original specimens is loose, and they require critical comparison with recently collected and adequately dated specimens, on which some morphological work can be done. In the meantime it is felt that the present revised list will serve a useful purpose in allowing wol'lrnrs to directly relate Victorian mollusca with the modern nomenclature used in recent lists from other parts of Australasia. Early Victorian conchologists were fortunate in having a detailed checklist, the "Catalogue of the lV[arine Shells of Vic toria," by G. B. Pritchard and J. H. Gatliff, published in parts in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, between 1897 and 1905. It was kept up to date until 1930 by a series of papers, '' Additions to and Alterations in the Catalogue of Victorian Marine Mollusca," by J. H. Gatliff and C. J. Gabriel, in the same publication. Since this time no attempt has been made to bring our nomenclature into line with that accepted in other States. -

Eldredge Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Hawai`i Biological Survey Bishop Museum Technical Report No. 25 Honolulu, Hawai`i October 2002 Copyright © 2002 Bishop Museum All Rights Reserved Printed in the United States of America ISSN 1085-455X Contribution No. 2002-025 to the Hawai`i Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Surveys of the marine algae, invertebrates and reef fishes of Waikîkî and the Kuapâ Pond and Maunalua Bay areas of Hawai`i Kai were conducted with the objective of the presence and impact of nonindigenous (introduced) marine organisms. Findings were compared with historical records of species reported in these locations and with the results of similar studies conducted in Hawai`i and the Pacific. Observations and collections were made at 15 stations at Waikîkî in January 2001 and at five stations in Kuapâ Pond-Maunalua Bay in February 2002 at 5 stations. A comprehensive literature review of published papers and books and unpublished reports was conducted to develop listings of previous species reports, and the marine invertebrates, fish, mollusk and algae collections at Bishop Museum were queried for information regarding all organisms that had been collected from these areas.
