Murty, A. Shameem and K. Umadevi Department of Marine Living Resources Andhra University, Visakhapatnam 530 003, A.P., India Abstract: Very little information has been available in the literature on the feeding habits, anatomy and histology of digestive system of siphonariid limpets. The present study revealed Siphonaria guamensis feeds on the crustose red alga Hildenbrandia prototypus browsing on the rocks by rasping action of radula. The anatomy of digestive system of Siphonaria guamensis is similar with that of the other siphonariid limpets but the length of gut and colon are shorter than the patellogastropod limpets like Cellana radiata, patella vulgata, Fissurella barbadensis and species of Acmaea. The salivary glands are the main source of the enzyme system of Siphonaria guamensis. They contained enzymes which can act on carbohydrates, proteins and polysaccharides. The enzyme which can act on proteins was found only in salivary glands and not detected in any other part of the digestive system. No lypolytic activity was seen in any part of the digestive system of the animal.

Abstract Not since Hubendick’s 1946 Systematic Monograph of the Patelliformia has a comprehensive taxonomic work been com- pleted on the genus of false-limpets Siphonaria, distributed worldwide, except in the northern Atlantic. A checklist of all supra-specific names associated with Siphonaria is established. A checklist of all species-group names is provided as well and their nomenclatural status is discussed (available, not available, permanently invalid). Of the 270 species-group names included in the checklist, 205 are available and not permanently invalid. All other names are either not available or avail- able but permanently invalid. The geographic distribution of the type localities is also presented; of the 205 species-group names that are available and not permanently invalid, 62 are from the tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific. Key words: Alpha taxonomy, biodiversity, nomenclature Introduction Snails and slugs with a pulmonary cavity have traditionally been referred to as pulmonate gastropods (Pulmonata). The species richness of the Pulmonata is largely dominated by the Stylommatophora, which include at least 25,000 species of land snails and slugs.

The want of a complete and consistent list of the principal subdivisions of the mollusks having been experienced for some time, and such a list being at length imperatively needed for the arrangement of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the present arrangement has been compiled for that purpose. It must be considered simply as a provisional list, embracing the results of the most recent and approved researches into the systematic relations and anatomy of those animals, but from which innova- tions and peculiar views, affecting materially the classification, have been excluded.

Limpets of the species Patella caerulea were collected between April 2016 and April 2017 from two sites, and two samplings per each site with varying degree of exposure to wave action and anthropogenic pressure, in Eastern Mediterranean (Pagasitikos Gulf, Central Greece). This study addresses a knowledge gap on population characteristics of P. caerulea populations in Eastern Mediterranean, assesses population structure, allometric relationships, and reproductive status. Morphometric characteristics exhibited spatio-temporal variation. Population density was significantly higher at the exposed site. Spatial relationship between members of the population exhibited clumped pattern of dispersion during spring. Broadcast spawning of the population occurred during summer.

Page 1/19 Abstract Background Heterobranchia is a diverse clade of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial gastropod molluscs. It includes such disparate taxa as nudibranchs, sea hares, bubble snails, pulmonate land snails and slugs, and a number of (mostly small-bodied) poorly known snails and slugs collectively referred to as the “lower heterobranchs.” Evolutionary relationships within Heterobranchia have been challenging to resolve and the group has been subject to frequent and signicant taxonomic revision. Mitochondrial (mt) genomes can be a useful molecular marker for phylogenetics but, to date, sequences have been available for only a relatively small subset of Heterobranchia. Results To assess the utility of mitochondrial genomes for resolving evolutionary relationships within this clade, eleven new mt genomes were sequenced including representatives of several groups of “lower heterobranchs.” Maximum likelihood analyses of concatenated matrices of the thirteen protein coding genes found weak support for most higher-level relationships even after several taxa with extremely high rates of evolution were excluded.

  • Studies on the Pulmonate Gastropod <I>Siphonaria Pectinata</I>
    STUDIES ON THE PULMONATE GASTROPOD SIPHONARIA PECTINATA (LINNAEUS) FROM THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF FLORIDA1 NANCY A. VOSS The Marine Laboratory, University of Miami ABSTRACT Studies and observations on the pulmonate gastropod Siphonaria peetin- a/a (Linnaeus) from the southeast coast of Florida are given. The feeding, habitat, spawning, larval development, environmental and geographical var- iation, geographical distribution and growth of the species are discussed. The veliger, egg masses and newly settled young are illustrated. INTRODUCTION Two species of Siphonaria, S. pec/inata (Linnaeus) and S. alternata ,(Say), are found along the Florida coast. S. peetinata is the common species on the east coast from Fernandina south to the upper Florida Keys. In the lower keys, S. alternata is the common limpet. Hubendick (1946) in his large systematic work on the Patelliformia considers the form of S. peetinata (=S. naufragum Stearns 1872, =S. lineolata Orbigny 1842) from Florida and the West Indies to be a variant and suggests that it be named S. p. forma lineolata Orbigny. He has discussed the phylogeny of the species in his earlier major work on the siphonariids (1945). Kohler (1898) carried out the pioneer anatomical investigations on S. peetinata in his overall study of the anatomy of the genus Siphonaria. Dieuzeide (1935) studied S. alge- sirae (Quay and Gaimard) (=S. peetinata) on the Algerian coast. His work dealt mainly with the anatomy, histology and embryology of the anif!1al.In the present work, the author has turned her attention to the biology of S. peetinata as it lives in nature in hopes of more nearly completing our knowledge of this species.
