Hart 4 (vii) THE NAUTILUS. VOL. XI. MAY, 1897. No. 1. TJVANILLA REGINA, A NEW LOCALITY. BY EOBT. E. C. STEARNS. A few days since, Mr. Charles H. Lawrence, who resides on Boyle Heights in this city, submitted to me for identification a specimen of this fine species which he collected about Christmas, 1895, on San Clemente Island, latitude 32 55' N., longitude 118 30' W. This find of Mr. Lawrence's carries the species so far to the north as to include it in the faunal list of California proper. The prelimi- nary description of U. regina was published in the THE NAUTILUS for December, 1892, and was subsequently described more fully in theProc. U. S. Nat. Museum, Vol. XVI, 1893, pp. 350-51, from a specimen collected by Capt. 3. D. Porter, of San Diego, Cal., on Guadaloupe Island off the coast of Lower California in latitude 29 N., longitude 118 W. As this easily recognizable species is exceedingly rare at this date, it may be well to note that examples are contained in the collec- tions of the National Museum (No. 125314), of Henry Hemphill and Miss Cooke, San Diego, and of Mr. Lawrence, above-named. The Hemphill and Cooke sp'ecimens are part of the lot collected by Capt. Porter. " In my paper on The Shells of the Tres Marias and Other Lo- calities along the Shores of Lower California and the Gulf of Cali- fornia," this form is listed, as the island of Guadaloupe belongs to Mexico. " In Dr. J. G. Cooper's Catalogue of Marine Shells collected chiefly on the eastern shore of Lower California," etc., published in 2 THE NAUTILUS. the Proc. Cal. Acad. Sciences (Series 2, Vol. V, p. 36), he makes the " " following remarks concerning my Tres Marias, etc.," list : Out of 294 in the catalogue, about 200 occur in the Gulf and several others on the west coast. It is not, therefore, as complete a list of Gulf shells as we might expect from collections made by the U. S. Fish Commission Steamer 'Albatross,' with its facilities for dredg- ing and collecting otherwise." As my paper does not purport to be " a list of the "Albatross collections in the regions under considera- tion, but only includes incidentally such species as were collected by " " the "Albatross naturalists at a few points only, viz., Baelenas and Pichelinque Bays, etc., so far as the same have been worked up at this date," as is distinctly stated, further comment is unnecessary. Los Angeles, Cal., April 5, 1897. ON A NEW FORM OF POLYGYRA FROM NEW MEXICO. BY W. H. BALL. Polygyra rhyssa Dall, n. sp. Shell of six rounded whorls, dark yellowish-brown, the suture the low but not flattened nuclear whorls rather deep and spire ; nearly smooth, the rest of the shell rather coarsely obliquely stri- ated, the last fourth of the last whorl with rather sharp elevated riblets with wider interspaces and a marked constriction behind the umbilicus above the reflected peristome ; small, deep ; periphery middle of the whorl rounded, the entire surface more or less dis- a tinctly finely spirally striate; aperture subcircular, oblique, with reflected and rather solid peristome with a small obscure thicken- ing on its basal part, a light wash of callus over the body, and a den- slightly within the aperture small oblique elongated parietal ticle. Major diameter 17, minor diameter 14; height 9 mm. White Mountains of New Mexico, Ashmun. This species is about the size of P. chiricahuana Dall, from which it differs by its strong sculpture, somewhat larger umbilicus, more distinct suture and oral armature.

  • Reflections Upon Pustularia Mauiensis and Related Taxa
    TRITON No 17 March 2008 REFLECTIONS UPON PUSTULARIA MAUIENSIS AND RELATED TAXA E.L. Heiman*) Abstract: An idea mentioned in Schilder & Schilder (1971) that Pustularia mauiensis is not a valid species but rather a subspecies of Pustularia bistrinotata is discussed after comparing diagnostic characters of P. mauiensis and other species of the genus Pustularia. P. mauiensis and P. bistrinotata are closely related and the only diagnostic character separating between them at a specific level is the dorsal sulcus, which is absent in shells of the former. So the Schilders’ approach makes sense but deserves an additional comparative study of large batches of shells. P. mauiensis is close to P. globulus too and can be treated as a subspecies of the latter if one disregards small rudimentary granules in shells of mauiensis. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Cypraeidae, Pustularia mauiensis, Pustularia bistrinotata, intraspecific variation. Comparison of conchological diagnostic characters of Pustularia cicercula and Pustularia margarita discussed in the previous article published in this issue (Triton 17:26-28) initiated several questions regarding other taxa of the genus. In this paper diagnostic characters of Pustularia mauiensis (Burgess, 1967)—Figs. 1-12 are discussed. C. mauiensis is described as a new endemic Hawaiian species although in Schilder & Schilder (1971) it is listed as a subspecies of Pustularia bistrinotata Schilder & Schilder, 1937. Why? The Schilders did not published explanations of their decision and in order to try answering this question one has to compare diagnostic characters of related species with the original description of mauiensis; this is possible using the data of Table 1. Table 1 Diagnostic characters of P.

  • Reflections Upon the Schilder's Last Work
    TRITON No 25 March 2012 REFLECTIONS UPON THE SCHILDERS’ LAST WORK Heiman E.L.*) Abstract: A conchological study based on recently received shells of Pustularia bistrinotata sublaevis from French Polynesia confirms the subspecific level of this taxon, which should be excluded from the list of rejected taxa published in Heiman (2011). Possible reasons for treating this and other taxa as synonyms in Schilders’ last work are briefly discussed. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Cypraeidae, Pustularia bistrinotata sublaevis, taxonomy, diagnostic characters. In Schilder &Schilder (1938)-the Prodrome-the authors organized the modern system of all living populations of Cypraeidae then known and described diagnostic characters of species and subspecies. These descriptions are short but precise and are now part of the modern diagnosing manuals of cowry taxa. This was one of the first works of this kind in malacology, pioneering then and mostly valid now. Unfortunately, the definitions and criteria of species and subspecies suitable for practice are not given in the Prodrome and the details such as numbers of studied specimens of each taxon and peculiarities of methodology are also absent. The conchological practice shows that the taxonomic identity of many living cowry populations including those described in the Prodrome is still rather vague and should be checked by a selective test or studied over again This is the aim of the project “Intraspecific variation in living cowries”-the Project-initiated about twelve years ago. The main task of the Project is to check batches of shells representing cowry populations in question and to learn based on such a selective test, whether the diagnostic characteristics given in their original descriptions and in the Prodrome are adequate.

  • Reproductive System, Mating Behavior and Basic Ecology of an Extremely Rare Tropical Snail: Drymaeus Tripictus (Stylommatophora: Bulimulidae)
    Reproductive system, mating behavior and basic ecology of an extremely rare tropical snail: Drymaeus tripictus (Stylommatophora: Bulimulidae) Zaidett Barrientos Laboratorio de Ecología Urbana, UNED, 2050 San José, Costa Rica; [email protected], [email protected] Received 06-IV-2015. Corrected 20-VIII-2015. Accepted 21-IX-2015. Abstract: Very little is known about the ecology and biology of Drymaeus tripictus, an extremely rare and endemic land snail species from Costa Rican highlands. I studied the ecology and reproductive biology of D. tri- pictus from April 2009 through June 2010 in an old forest, a young forest and a Cupressus lusitanica plantation in central Costa Rica. Every three months I visited each habitat and collected specimens in 20 random sampling plots (3x3 m2 each). I observed the snail’s activity and microhabitat preference in the field, and in the labora- tory I recorded high definition videos of its mating behavior and analyzed reproductive morphology with light microscopy. The snail is more abundant in the old forest (0.017 ind./m2) and prefers leaves with little epiphyllous cover (0-25 % cover, chi-square test, p <0.0001). During the dry season the snails become active between 20:00 pm and 8:00 am (chi-square = 22.65, df=3, p < 0.0001); they are inactive mainly during the afternoon (11:00 am to 16:59 pm). I found active individuals mostly on the upper side of leaves, where they feed (Chi-square =6.76, df=1, p = 0.0093). Mating is unilateral, by shell mounting, with cryptic phallus intromission and without role switching or multiple mating.

The genera involved are Chondrocyclus (Cyclophoridae), Maizania and Thomeomaizania (Maizaniidae), Pseudoveronicella (Veronicellidae), Nothapalus (Achatinidae: subfamily undet.), Gulella and Streptostele (Streptaxidae), Truncatellina (Truncatellinidae), Afroconulus (Euconulidae), Principicochlea gen. nov., Principotrochoidea gen. nov., Thomithapsia gen. nov. and Thomitrochoidea gen. nov. (Urocyclidae). Most of these are from natural forest habitats and are likely to be single- island endemics. Apothapsia gen. nov. (Helicarionidae) is also described to accommodate two previously known species. Additional new island records are of ten species on São Tomé, one on Príncipe alone and two more on both islands. These include six species of "microgastropods" with wider ranges in tropical Africa that are likely to be hitherto overlooked parts of the indigenous fauna and six anthropogenic introductions; Pseudopeas crossei previously known only from Príncipe and Bioko is newly recorded on São Tomé.

  • Marine Gastropods of American Samoa Introduction
    Micronesica 41(2):237–252, 2011 Marine gastropods of American Samoa D.P. Brown Isle Royale National Park, Houghton, MI 49931 Abstract—Collected for food for over 3,000 years by the indigenous Samoan people, marine gastropods in American Samoa have never been collected and cataloged for science. This study documents 385 marine gastropods from 50 families occurring in the U.S. territory of American Samoa. Ten of these are listed by genus only and one by family. The num- ber of gastropods currently reported is likely significantly underestimated and a conservative estimate of the richness yet to be discovered. Introduction Molluscs have been collected in Samoa since the earliest inhabitants arrived some 3,000 years ago (Craig et al 2008, Kramer 1994, Kirch and Hunt, 1993, Nagaoka 1993). Much of this reef gleaning was directed at the cephalopods, the large and colorful giant clams (Tridacna spp.) and the larger marine snails such as Trochus spp, Lambis spp., Cassis spp., Turbo spp., and Tutufa spp., although any marine mollusc was likely taken if found (Munro 1999). While the limited archeological evidence provides an initial species list, this long history of the use of marine molluscs provided a very limited understanding of the marine gastro- SRGVRIWKHDUFKLSHODJR(YHQDIWHU(XURSHDQFRQWDFWIHZVHULRXVRUDPDWHXUVKHOO collectors made the long voyage to the S. Pacific to catalog the gastropoda. Until very recently, and before the advent of SCUBA, much of the gastropod knowledge in the area came from the shallow depths available to free-divers, what could be dredged off the bottom, and what washed onto the shore. The first organized sci- entific investigations into the Samoan gastropods weren’t carried out until the 18th century by the La Perouse expedition.

  • THE STUDY of SNAILS and SLUGS in EAST AFRICA Most Members Of
    52 VOL. XXII THE STUDY OF SNAILS AND SLUGS IN EAST AFRICA By BERNARD VERDCOURT, B.SC., F.L.S. Most members of the Society probably see a few snails during their rambles, but have not been able to identify them. Many may not have realised that they are worth collecting. Much material is still needed from East Africa particularly by local Museums. Every member can help by collecting. Material complete with the animal preserved in spirit is parti• cularly needed. Almost any species of snail drowned, and then preserved is of great value for anatomical investigations. Any member thinking of specialising on a particular group could do a considerable amount of new work. The writer is willing to receive material at the East African Herba• rium, P.O. Box 5166, Nairobi and attempt identifications. Any material received will be put in the study collection of the Coryndon Museum. Snails and slugs belong to the Mollusca which is the second largest group in the animal kingdom, following the insects in abundance of individuals and species. It comes a very poor second, however, there being perhaps about 70,000 described molluscs as against a million or more insects. The phylum Mollusca contains a wide variety of animals which would perhaps not be associated with each other by a layman. Octopi, mussels, chitons, slugs, sea and land shells all belong to the same phylum. It is not a very easy group to define; most of the members of it have a shell which is laid down by tissues known as the mantle; those having a head develop a highly characteristic rasping organ termed a radula (about which more will be said in another article); most species have a muscular foot used for locomotion; and all have a rather complicated nervous and reproductive system.

  • Mollusca: Caenogastropoda), Con Una Nueva Propuesta De Clasificación Supragenérica
    SPIRA 2006 Vol. 2 Núm. 1 Pàg. 41-62 Consideraciones taxonómicas sobre la fami- lia Cypraeidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda), con una nueva propuesta de clasificación supragenérica JOAQUÍN LÓPEZ SORIANO Marina 119, 3º 1ª, 08013 Barcelona. E-mail: [email protected] Resumen.—Consideraciones taxonómicas sobre la familia Cypraeidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda), con una nueva propuesta de clasificación supragenérica. En el presente artículo se presentan los nuevos datos relativos a la taxonomía molecular de la familia Cypraeidae descritos en la bibliografía y basados en la secuenciación de dos genes mitocondriales. Se propone en base a ellos una nueva clasificación en 11 subfamilias, incluyendo como novedad Pustulariinae, Pseudozonariinae y Bistolidinae. Se revisa asimismo la filogenia del género Cribrarula, con la propuesta de un nuevo árbol filogenètico en todo el Indopacífico y de una nueva clasificación de los taxones que incluye. Palabras clave.—Cypraeidae, Taxonomía molecular, DNA mitocondrial, subfamilias, Cribrarula.
