Infante de Henrique 7, Areias São João, P-8200 Albufeira, Portugal; email: [email protected] 4 Corresponding author Received 25 February 2017, revised version accepted 1 April 2017 In this paper we review the Neogastropoda (in part) of the Zanclean lower Pliocene assemblage of Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire- Atlantique department, France, which we consider the ‘type’ locality for Assemblage III of Van Dingenen et al. (2015). Twenty-six species are recorded, of which three are new: Euthria palumbina nov. sp., Bartschia (Agassitula) harasewychi nov. sp., Brocchinia pigeonblancensis nov. sp. Aplus aequicostatus (Bellardi, 1877) is considered a junior subjective synonym of Aplus scaber (Millet, 1865). Fusus (Aptyxis) rostratus ligerianus Peyrot, 1938 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Aptyxis omphale (Millet, 1864). The data presented here concurs with that discussed in previous parts of this monograph, suggesting that average Sea Surface Temperatures off the NW French coast in the Zanclean lower Pliocene may have been warmer than they are at these latitudes today, possibly similar to those found today off the southern Portuguese coasts.

Since that time considerable revision in nomenclature has taken place, and some further material has come to hand. As descriptions and references to the family are very scattered in literature, the opportunity is now taken to bring them together, and to illustrate not only species new to science, but also all those which have already been described. It is felt that such papers are of great convenience to conchologists and form a base on which future work can be under­ taken.

In the ancillariid genus Amalda, the shell is character rich and 96 described species are currently treated as valid. Based on shell morphology, several subspecies have been recognized within Amalda hilgendorfi, with a combined range extending at depths of 150–750 m from Japan to the South-West Pacific. A molecular analysis of 78 specimens from throughout this range shows both a weak geographical structuring and evidence of gene flow at the regional scale.

Signed: Date: 12/09/2014 i Determination of the Abundance and Population Structure of Buccinum undatum in North Wales Zara Turtle Abstract A mark-recapture study and fisheries data analysis for the common whelk, Buccinum undatum, was undertaken for catches on a commercial fishing vessel operating from The fishing location, north Wales, from June-July 2014. Laboratory experiments were conducted on B.undatum to investigate tag retention rates and behavioural responses after being exposed to a number of treatments. Thick rubber bands were found to have a 100 % tag retention rate after four months. Riddling, tagging and air exposure do not affect the behavioural responses of B.undatum. The mark-recapture study was used to estimate population size and movement. 4007 whelks were tagged with thick rubber bands over three tagging events.

Key words: Mollusca; Cancellariacea; taxonomy; distribution; Madeira; Morocco. Cancellaria minima Reeve, 1856, is redescribed after three syntypes and 59 shells recently col- lected near Madeira and off Morocco. The few literature data concerning this poorly known spe- cies are summarized. Its range appears to be situated between 27° and 37°N and 5° and 17°W, as far as known mainly between 78 and 680 m depth. A. Verhecken, Ed. Arsenstraat 47, B-2510 Mortsel, Belgium. INTRODUCTION Cancellaria minima Reeve, 1856, is a poorly known species from off Madei- ra and the Atlantic coast of the southern Iberian peninsula. It was described (Reeve, 1856: species 77) after specimens of Cuming's collection, from an un- known locality. The syntypes are kept in the British Museum (Natural History [= BM], no. 1968410; although the label mentions four specimens, only three shells are present. Monterosato (1878: 97, note 2), for the first time, gave a locality for C. mi- nima, referring to "C. minima H. Adams, delle Canarie". Jeffreys (1885: 49), reporting on the material of the "Porcupine"-expeditions, mentioned five spe- cimens from off the Gulf of Cadiz; he also referred to specimens found at Madeira, Gibraltar and the Canary Islands by McAndrew.

  • On Some Pliocene Cancellaridae (Mollusca Gastropoda) from the Mediterranean Basin with Description of a New Species
    Biodiversity Journal , 2016, 7 (3): 319–324 On some Pliocene Cancellaridae (Mollusca Gastropoda) from the Mediterranean Basin with description of a new species M. Mauro Brunetti Via 28 Settembre 1944 n. 2, 40036 Rioveggio, Bologna, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT During the study on Pliocene Mediterranean malacofauna the author found the presence of a new species of the genus Sveltia Jousseaume, 1887 called S. confusa n. sp. The new species is present both in Zanclean sediments of Southern Spain (Guadalquivir basin and Estepona), and in Pliocenic sediments of Southern Tuscany. This species had been previously discussed and figured by various authors as Sveltia varicosa (Brocchi, 1814). During the research were also found some specimens similar to Ventrilia imbricata (Hörnes, 1856), a taxon which was already described for the Austrian Miocene. In this study the taxonomic position of V. im- bricata , along with its presence in Pliocenic sediments and its relashionships with Scalptia etrusca Brunetti, Della Bella, Forli et Vecchi, 2008, are clarified. KEY WORDS Pliocene; Cancellariidae; new species. Received 19.07.2016; accepted 31.08.2016; printed 30.09.2016 INTRODUCTION its from Guadalquivir basin (see Gonzales Delgado, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1993; Landau et al., 2011), and During some research on Pliocene Mediter- Zanclean of Southern Tuscany (Brunetti, 2014). For ranean malacofauna it was found the presence of the generic attributions used see Brunetti et al. a new species of the genus Sveltia Jousseaume, (2008, 2011). 1887 type species Voluta varicosa Brocchi, 1814. ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS: H = This species was cited by various authors as Sveltia maximum height of the shell, as measured from the varicosa (Brocchi, 1814 ), a taxon frequently found apex to the ends of the siphonal channel; coll.
