Cypraea Clandestina Candida.Pdf Another example of forgery in Malacology: Pease's Cypraea candida arbitrarily used to serve personal interests of 'malacologists' by MC van Veen, April 2019 In this example I would like to focus on the usage of Cypraea candida which was described by Pease in 1865 [1]. Today, WoRMS classified it as a variety of Cypraea clandestina, a species that was described by Linnaeus in 1767 Nowadays the genus has changed into Palmadusta, so officially it becomes Palmadusta clandestina. But the genus name not so important, what is important however is the classification of Pease's Cypraea candida. WoRMS shows the name Palmadusta clandestina candida (Pease, 1865). Again, here you can see it is below the species level, the third name indicates subspecies, sometimes the third name indicates a variety or a form. This is the system: Genus name – Species name – Subspecies name. Below is a copy of Pease's description: The translation is: Cypraea candida Shell elongated-oval, completely white, the somewhat thickened sides rounded, rounded at the base; the extremities scarcely produced, slightly bent; lengthwise very thinly striated; The opening slightly bent, teeth strong and somewhat spaced, interstices (between the teeth) deeply cut. Length 15 mm, width 8 mm. The question arises how malacologists were ever able to conclude that Cypraea candida should be a special variety of Palmadusta/Cypraea clandestina. There are no features in the text that set it apart from the normal clandestina because the text only describes common characteristics of the species; there isn't any comparison whatsoever. Furthermore, Pease's description isn't even conclusive regarding the species! Even though the Cypraea candida shell only measured 15 mm, it could well be that the all white Cypraea eburnea is indicated, even though eburnea is often larger than 35 mm. Pease tells us that the colour is a featureless white, and that the teeth are strong and somewhat spaced. These characteristics fit eburnea better than clandestina, even though the shell is very small. If even the species can be considered unclear, where is the basis then for calling candida a subspecies of clandestina? The newest Cowry book goes even further than the subspecies level. It shows the name Palmadusta clandestina moniliaris candida (Pease, 1865). Here it has become a form of a variety of a species... Originally Lamarck described the Cypraea moniliaris in 1810 [2]. Below is a copy of Lamarck's description: The translation is: 47. Cypraea moniliaris Oval, white; developed three faint blotches, teeth near the opening about equal. Petiv. Gaz. Plate 97 figure 10. [3] Lives in the Indian Ocean. It is probable that this porcelain snail is only a variety of the preceding (Lamarck's nr. 46 is Cypraea asellus). However, it is more swollen, and among the large number of individuals I have observed, none have brown zones, but only a very pale flesh colour. These areas are barely distinguishable on the white background of the shell. Below the figure in Petiveri's Gazophylacium Again we see a very basic description, this time from Lamarck. He referred to one picture only, and that picture is also very basic as you can see. Cypraea moniliaris simply seems to be a synonym for Cypraea clandestina. There aren't any specific features that set it apart from clandestina, no differences pointed out. Lamarck only tells us about a large number of individuals of the species. No specification about subspecies. And Petiveri's picture is also very basic, like in a comic book. So, how can those 'malacologists' classify moniliaris as a subspecies of clandestina? And they do it in Lamarck's name as well, as if Lamarck's publication shows that it is a subspecies. It's like telling that the chapter Genesis in the Bible is about life on the moon instead of the earth. Back to the Cypraea candida..... This is the new grotesque taxon: Palmadusta clandestina moniliaris candida (Pease, 1865). Here we see that candida has become a variety of the so called – but fake- subspecies moniliaris, and on top of all it is put forward in Pease's name, like it was his idea in the first place! There is no ground for this taxon to exist. Both Lamarck's and Pease's descriptions only describe very basic features without distinctions; not between subspecies, not between varieties and not even between species (because candida could well be eburnea instead of clandestina). Another fine example of forgery that leaves malacology in an even greater mess. These people just interpret the literature as they see fit, without ever questioning the validity of their conclusions. In science there is the principle that you cannot base your conclusions on confabulations, and there is also the principle that you are not allowed to lie about what authors have written. The literature does not go below the species level, that is the only valid conclusion there is to make.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

(PLATE I opposite page 134) This supplement is based entirely on information supplied to me by various collectors. Since my paper· was published many persons have started collecting and have shown many of my original remarks concerning distribution and rarity to be completely erroneous. This is to be expected since my remarks were based entirely on the collections at my disposal; I have never collected at the coast myself. Additional comments are listed in the order of my original paper. Authorities for the names have been omitted save in cases where the species is new to the Kenya list. I have kept to the names used in my original paper and not followed recent changes. I am pleased to say that there is a distinct move towards dispensing with the large number of genera used in recent works. Miss Alison Kay of the University of Hawaii has found the evidence of anatomy to be directly opposed to the recognition of these genera and has proposed the return to Cypraea for all the members of the subfamily Cypraeinae (see Nature 180: 1436-1437 (1957). I have kept the nomenclature used in my original pamphlet merely to avoid confusion but recommend that we sholud return to using Cypraea and, for general collector's use, specific names alone will, of course, suffice.

  • Mollusca of New Caledonia
    Plate 12 Mollusca of New Caledonia Virginie HEROS, Pierre LOZOUET, Philippe MAESTRATI, Rudo von COSEL, Delphine BRABANT, Philippe BOUCHET Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris [email protected] The first record of a land mollusc (Placostyllls fibratus (Martyn, 1789» from New Caledonia can unequivocally be traced to the voyage of Cook that discovered the island in 1774. By contrast, the marine molluscs of New Caledonia ironically remained out of reach to European natural history cabinets until well jnto the 19th century. New Caledonia remained untouched by the circum­ navigating expeditions of the 1830-1840s onboard, e.g., the Astrolabe, the Zilie or the Uranie. Seashells may have been collected in New Caledonia by whalers and other merchants in search of sandalwood or beche-de-mer, and then traded, but by the time they reached European conchologists, all indication of their geographical origin had faded away. It is impossible to tell whether Indo-West Pacific species originally described from localities such as «Mers du Sud» or «Southern Seas» were originally collected in, e.g., Fiji, Tahiti, Australia or New Caledonia. However, even if New Caledonian shells may have arrived on the European market or in cabinets, it must have been in very small amount, as such an emblematic species of the New Caledonia molluscan fauna as Nalltilus maeromphalus was not named until 1859. In fact, it was not until Xavier Montrouzier set foot in New Caledonia that the island was placed on the map of marine conchology. From there on, three major periods can be recognized in the history of New Caledonia marine malacology.

Y. Low Abstract. An annotated checklist of the Mollusca from the Australian Indian Ocean Territories (IOT) of Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands is presented. The checklist combines data from all previous studies and new material collected during the recent Christmas Island Expeditions organised by the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (formerly the Raffles Museum of Biodiversty Resarch), Singapore. The checklist provides an overview of the diversity of the malacofauna occurring in the Cocos (Keeling) / Christmas Island ecoregion. A total of 1,178 species representing 165 families are documented, with 760 (in 130 families) and 757 (in 126 families) species recorded from Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, respectively. Forty-five species (or 3.8%) of these species are endemic to the Australian IOT. Fifty-seven molluscan records for this ecoregion are herein published for the first time. We also briefly discuss historical patterns of discovery and endemism in the malacofauna of the Australian IOT. Key words. Mollusca, Polyplacophora, Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean INTRODUCTION The Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which comprise North Keeling Island (a single island atoll) and the South Keeling Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) (hereafter CI) and the Cocos Islands (an atoll consisting of more than 20 islets including (Keeling) Islands (hereafter CK) comprise the Australian Horsburgh Island, West Island, Direction Island, Home Indian Ocean Territories (IOT).

Visitors arrive in the capital, Honiara, from Brisbane, Australia. For European shell collectors, Brisbane is the opposite side of the globe, so the long-haul flights are then followed by a ‘backwards’ flight over the Coral Sea to the Solomons. The round-trip from Europe requires a daunting six days of travel and visitors from North America fare little better. More adventurous souls than I may opt to fly to Papua and make their way by sea canoe to the northernmost island groups of the Solomons – a traditional trading route, but fraught with dangers. The 922 islands that make up the Solomons have a combined land area somewhat less than the state of Maryland.
