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. -

Email: [email protected], drlakshmipathi@ gmail.com ABSTRACT In the present study, the ornamental gastropods identification and distribution patterns in relation to sediment texture and nature of substrate in the intertidal area of Massawa coast was carried out in the two sites ( Gurgusum and Green Island) for the months of February, March, and April, 2013.In the present study about 31 species of gastropods belong to sub-class of Prosobranchia (that are consider as ornamental gastropods) were identified. The study was done by transect method stretched from the 2 lowest low tide towards the upper part of the intertidal area, and within the transect, a quadrat of 1m was also lied down at a specific interval. From the sampling areas, gastropods and sediments were collected from randomly selected grids within the quadrat. From the result obtained, there was a variation in the distribution patterns of the gastropods within the sites (from upper to lower) and among the two sites and there was a difference in the sediment texture and substrate nature of the sites during the sampling period. -
Supplement – December 2017 – Survey of the Literature on Recent
A Malacological Journal ISSN 1565-1916 No. 36 - SUPPLEMENT DECEMBER 2017 2 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (third enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert* Summary This literature survey lists approximately 3,050 references. 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.

Zoologische Mededelingen
MINISTERIE VAN ONDERWIJS, KUNSTEN EN WETENSCHAPPEN ZOOLOGISCHE MEDEDELINGEN UITGEGEVEN DOOR HET RIJKSMUSEUM VAN NATUURLIJKE HISTORIE TE LEIDEN DEEL XXXI, No. 25 24 September 1952 CATALOGUE OF THE GENERA MELONGENA AND SEMIFUSUS by CH. BAYER Melongena Schumacher, 1817 (= Galeodes Roding) Thiele (1931, p. 320) gives the name Galeodes (Bolten) Roding, 1798, to this genus. This name, however, was already used by Olivier in the En• cyclopedic methodique, Insectes (1791, vol. 6, p. 578) for a genus of the Solifugidae. The author gave a detailed diagnosis and, moreover, described two species of the genus. Galeodes Olivier, 1791, obtains therefore priority in respect to Galeodes Roding, 1798, and this last name must thus be dropped as a hononym. Cassidula "Humphrey" (1797, p. 32), which is sometimes used, is not valid, as according to Opinion 51 the anonymous catalogue "Museum Calonnianum,, "is not to be accepted as basis for any nomen- clatorial work". The next name to be considered for this genus is Melongena Schumacher, 1817. This author (1817, p. 212) gives a clear diagnosis of the genus and mentions as genotype M. fasciata [= M. melongena (L.)]. As in my previous catalogues I have, besides the species present in our collection, as far as possible, included here all the species of Melongena that are mentioned in literature. All the specimens from one collector in a certain locality, as far as they are kept dry, bear the same letter, whilst of the material preserved in liquor the number of the jar is given. In the list of species dealt with below, I have inserted these letters or numbers, followed by a number indicating how many specimens we possess from that locality. -

(Rachiglossa: Colubrariidae), Within the Neogastropod Phylogenetic Framework
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 158, 779–800. With 6 figures Relationships of the haematophagous marine snail Colubraria (Rachiglossa: Colubrariidae), within the neogastropod phylogenetic framework MARCO OLIVERIO* and MARIA VITTORIA MODICA Dipartimento di Biologia Animale e dell’Uomo, ‘La Sapienza’ University, Viale dell’Università 32, I-00185 Roma, Italy Received 15 November 2008; accepted for publication 6 February 2009 The gastropod genus Colubraria includes marine shallow-water species from tropical, subtropical, and temperate rocky coral environments. At least six species are known to feed on fish blood. Although there is general consensus in placing Colubraria in the Neogastropoda, the actual relationships and the systematic position of Colubraria and related genera are unknown. This is partly the consequence of the lack of a clear phylogenetic framework for the Neogastropoda. This study attempts to propose a phylogenetic framework for the Neogastropoda, by testing: (1) a preliminary phylogenetic arrangement for a large number of recognized neogastropod families; (2) the position of Colubraria within the neogastropods; and (3) the relationships of Colubraria within one of the major neogastropod lineages. We used two different molecular data sets. The first set included representatives of at least 14 neogastropod families, for points (1) and (2), and was based on mitochondrial (16S, 12S, and cytochrome oxidase subunit I, COI) and nuclear (28S) DNA sequences, giving a total of 3443 aligned positions. The second data set, for point (3), included 30 buccinoid sequences from mitochondrial 16S, giving a total of 1029 aligned positions. We also studied the anatomy of the type species of Colubraria and compared it with other neogastropods within the new phylogenetic framework. -

An Index to the Museum Boltenianum
£ ^rS SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTIONa AN INDEX TO THE MUSEUM BOLTENIANUM BY WILLIAM HEALEY DALL ]^^^^kl^^\^ <** (Publication 236)0) APR I J ^*L\40^ CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 1915 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION LOT AN INDEX TO THE MUSEUM BOLTENIANUM BY WILLIAM HEALEY DALL PER\ (Publication 2360) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 1915 BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. AN INDEX TO THE MUSEUM BOLTENIANUM By WILLIAM HEALEY DALL The Museum Boltenianum is a publication which, until recent years, has been little known. It represents the arrangement of his cabinet of shells by J. F. Bolten, of Hamburg, a lifelong student of conchology who was dissatisfied with the crude method of Linnaeus. He died without publishing his system which was issued at Hamburg in 1798, at the expense of the family, with supplementary references by a friend of conchological tastes, Llerr Peter Friedrich Roeding, and with a Latin introductory by the Abbe Lichtenstein. It was the hope of the family that the publication would not only perpetuate the father's researches, but might lead to the pur- chase of the collection as a whole by some museum or individual. That it was brought to the attention of scientific men of the time is evident from the fact that Lamarck adopted several of Bolten's generic names a year or two later, though without giving their author credit for them. Some twenty years passed and no sale in block having been made, the family decided to dispose of the collection by auction in separate lots. A new edition of the catalogue was issued with four lithographic plates of rare species, supplemented by a cata- logue of minerals and one of objects of art, the whole to be sold by Johannes Noodt, auctioneer, who supplied a " Vorwort " and reprinted Lichtenstein's Latin preface but omitted the preface by Roeding. -
Impacts of Environmental Conditions on Macro-Benthic Distribution Along
Pakistan Journal of Marine Sciences, Vol. 16(1) 1-31, 2007 IMPACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON MACRO BENTHIC DISTRIBUTION ALONG THE SUEZ GULF, EGYPT Mohamed M. El-Komi, Ahmed M. Emara and Mohamed H. Mona National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Alexandria, Egypt (MME) National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Suez, Egypt (AME) Tanta University, Faculty of Science, Egypt (MHM) E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Increases in coastal development and human activities leading to sedimentation degrade the quality of water; disturb the natural structure and functions of aquatic communities. The Suez Gulf is a large semi-closed area. (~ 625 km long coastline).The assemblages of bottom fauna were studied qualitatively and quantitatively in the shallow intertidal waters along the western coast of the Suez Gulf. The quality of seawater and sediment structures were analyzed. The distribution of macro-benthos included a total of 38 species of Gastropoda and 9 Bivalvia; and 25 species from the other invertebrates included 7 groups namely, Rhizostoma, Polychaeta, CitTipedia, Amphipoda, Isopoda, Decapoda and Echinodermata. The most dominant group among invertebrate groups was the Polychaeta which included 4 species-Hydroides elegans, Perinereis cu/tilifera, Perinereis nuntia and Ophelina acuminata. The Ci1Tipedia were represented by 3 species namely, Ba/anus amphitrite, Chthamalus challengeri and Tetraclita squamosa. The variations in the numerical abundance and biomass of bottom fauna studied between the observation periods and at sampling sites. There was a marked increase in benthos biomass at St. IV (Ras Gharib) yielding an average of 318.8 g/m2 in which the gastropod community represented the dominant species in collected samples reaching 270.28 g/m2 (84.4% of the total biomass) and 2 numerically numbered 116 ind./m .
