E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A curatorial revision of the type specimens deposited in the Mollusca Collection of the Museu Nacional / UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (MNRJ) revealed the existence of 518 lots of type specimens (holotypes, neotypes, syntypes and paratypes) for 285 names of molluscan taxa from 88 families, including 247 gastropods, 30 bivalves, three cephalopods and five sca- phopods. A total of 106 holotypes and one neotype are deposited in the MNRJ. Type material for ten nominal taxa de- scribed as being deposited in the MNRJ was not located; the probable reasons are discussed. Some previously published erroneous information about types in the MNRJ is rectified. A total of 37 type specimens are illustrated. Key words: types, malacological collection, mollusc, malacology, nomenclature Introduction Founded in 1818 by D. João of Portugal as the “Museu Real”, the Museu Nacional is the oldest museum in Brazil and also its oldest scientific institution (Museu Nacional, 2007). Since 1946, the museum has been part of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro—UFRJ) and it has academic, scientific and educational missions, aiming to develop and disseminate knowledge of natural history and anthropology. As part of its scientific activities, the Museu Nacional holds the most important zoological collections in Brazil. Following a recommendation of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999: 72F.4) to encourage the publication of lists of types housed in institutions, this paper presents a catalogue of the molluscan types held in the Mollusca Collection of the Museu Nacional. The Mollusca Collection of the Museu Nacional The Mollusca Collection of the Museu Nacional (acronym MNRJ), one of the most important of its kind in South America, holds more than 32,000 registered lots and about 10,000 unregistered lots, which are currently being processed, including dry shells and preserved specimens from Brazilian and foreign provenance. The type material stems from studies carried out since the end of the 19th century by Brazilian and foreign researchers. The early beginnings of this collection are difficult to establish. The earliest reference was by Netto (1870), who mentioned that molluscs were exhibited in the first building of the Museu Nacional; followed by Lacerda (1905), who stated that these specimens were exhibited at the present location of the museum. Miranda-Ribeiro (1924) referred to the mollusc collection, which at that time contained 584 Brazilian species, as determined by E. von Martens from “Zoologisches Museum”, presently “Museum für Naturkunde”, in Berlin. Accepted by A. Nutzel: 7 Feb. 2014; published: 20 Mar. 2014 51 since he did not explicitly refer to it, and “National Museum” could mean other museums in the world, its establishment is not in accordance with the ICZN (1999: 16.4.2). This article requires that a new species name published after 1999, to be available, must be accompanied by a statement indicating the name and location of the collection where the holotype is deposited. Furthermore, the supposed holotype was never sent by the author to the MNRJ collection. revizee, Opalia [Epitoniidae]. Lima, Christoffersen, Barros & Folly, 2012: 8, figs. 9a–e. Remarks. The paper in which this name was published does not constitute a published work for nomenclatural purposes according to amendment of Article 8.5 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (2012). The work was issued and distributed electronically only, and does not fulfil the requirements of stating the date of publication in the work itself and neither the taxon nor the publication has been registered in the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank). Although the name will be correctly published in the future, with the same type material (Lima pers. com.), for the moment it should be considered not available, and thus, the material cited under the number MNRJ 18307 as holotype is not a type. tarmensis, Naesiotus (Reclasta) [Bostryx, Orthalicidae]. Weyrauch, 1967b: 479, figs. 51−52. Type locality: Valley Río Tarma, Cerro Huayuncayo, near La Florida (11°22’13"S, 75°40’30"W, 3000−3100 m alt), Peru, Departamento Lima. Remarks. MNRJ 4418, from type locality, bears a label indicating IML 12227, the abbreviation used for the Instituto Miguel Lillo, where types for other names described by Weyrauch (1967b) were deposited. However, the original publication did not list IML 12227 as a paratype lot. Although Barbosa et al. (2008) assumed MNRJ 4418 as paratypes, we consider that they are only topotypes.

Holden Environmental Scientist I Barbara Goetting Environmental Specialist I Thomas Dix Environmental Scientist II MARCH 2003 1 Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County Richard Garrity, Ph.D. Executive Director Gerold Morrison, Ph.D. Director, Environmental Resources Management Division 2 INTRODUCTION The Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County (EPCHC) has been collecting samples in Middle Tampa Bay 1993 as part of the bay-wide benthic monitoring program developed to (Tampa Bay National Estuary Program 1996). The original objectives of this program were to discern the ―health‖—or ―status‖-- of the bay’s sediments by developing a Benthic Index for Tampa Bay as well as evaluating sediment quality by means of Sediment Quality Assessment Guidelines (SQAGs). The Tampa Bay Estuary Program provided partial support for this monitoring. This report summarizes data collected during 1993-1998 from the Middle Tampa Bay segment of Tampa Bay. 3 METHODS Field Collection and Laboratory Procedures: A total of 127 stations (20 to 24 per year) were sampled during late summer/early fall ―Index Period‖ 1993-1998 (Appendix A). Sample locations were randomly selected from computer- generated coordinates. Benthic samples were collected using a Young grab sampler following the field protocols outlined in Courtney et al. (1993). Laboratory procedures followed the protocols set forth in Courtney et al. (1995). Data Analysis: Species richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity, and Evenness were calculated using PISCES Conservation Ltd.’s (2001) ―Species Diversity and Richness II‖ software.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

  • Land Snail Diversity in Brazil

Salvador Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, New Zealand. E-mail: [email protected] Salvador R.B. (2019) Land snail diversity in Brazil. Strombus 25(1–2): 10–20. Abstract: Brazil is a megadiverse country for many (if not most) animal taxa, harboring a signifi- cant portion of Earth’s biodiversity. Still, the Brazilian land snail fauna is not that diverse at first sight, comprising around 700 native species. Most of these species were described by European and North American naturalists based on material obtained during 19th-century expeditions. Ear- ly 20th century malacologists, like Philadelphia-based Henry A. Pilsbry (1862–1957), also made remarkable contributions to the study of land snails in the country. From that point onwards, however, there was relatively little interest in Brazilian land snails until very recently. The last de- cade sparked a renewed enthusiasm in this branch of malacology, and over 50 new Brazilian spe- cies were revealed. An astounding portion of the known species (circa 45%) presently belongs to the superfamily Orthalicoidea, a group of mostly tree snails with typically large and colorful shells. It has thus been argued that the missing majority would be comprised of inconspicuous microgastropods that live in the undergrowth. In fact, several of the species discovered in the last decade belong to these “low-profile” groups and many come from scarcely studied regions or environments, such as caverns and islands.
