C., and Pereiro, F. J. 1995. Distribution and abundance of molluscs and decapod crustaceans in trawl samples from the Galician Shelf (NW Spain). - ICES mar. Sei. Symp., 199: 189-199. This study presents the community composition and structure of molluscs and decapod crustaceans from trawl samples taken on the Galician Shelf in Northwest Spain. Spatial and temporal distribution, as well as the biomass and density of the main species, are presented in relation to depth and substrate type. A. C.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

Received 29 April 2014, revised version accepted 23 May 2014 The taxonomy of sinistral Neptunea species from the Pliocene of the North Sea Basin and the Quaternary of NW Europe is investigated. All sinistral forms are considered to be part of a single clade. Morphological varieties from the Pliocene successions of the southern North Sea Basin are documented. A remarkable increase in the number of varieties occurs in a short stratigraphic interval in the latest Piacenzian (Lillo Formation, Kruisschans Member, Antwerp area, Belgium). The Pliocene morphs are for the moment grouped as forms within Neptunea angulata Harmer, 1914 (non N. angulata Wood, 1848). Several of the morphs appear to lack intermediate forms and thus the presence of sibling species may be demonstrated when more material will become available. During the Pleistocene, the sinistral species N. inversa Harmer, 1918, occurred in NW Europe. South of the North Sea Basin the last occurrence of the species is at least the Middle Pleistocene MIS 13.

Their latitudinal distribution has been reviewed by Nations (1975), and more recently by Brattstrom and Johanssen (1983), indicating a more southerly distribution for three of these species along the Chilean coasts (Fig. 1). Cancer setosus Molina is a littoral species occurring from Guayaquil, Ecuador to Taitao, Chile in depths ca 45 m and C. coronatus Molina is distributed from Ancon, Peru to Picton Channel, Chile (Retamal, 1981; Brattstrom and Johanssen, op. cit.). Together with the third species, C. edwardsi Bell, C. setosus is also the object of local fisheries in coastal waters. The total landings for both species in 1985 were 3, 187 ton (439 for the VIII Region), indicating 15.3 per cent of total landings for edible crusta­ cean in Chile.
