  • Mollusca, Neogastropoda) from the Mozambique Channel and New Caledonia
    Bull. Mus. natn. Hist, nat., Paris, 4e ser., 3, 1981, section A, n° 4 : 985-1009. On a collection of buccinacean and mitracean Gastropods (Mollusca, Neogastropoda) from the Mozambique Channel and New Caledonia by W. 0. CERNOHORSKY Abstract. — The present paper deals with a collection of 59 species of buccinacean and mitra- cean gastropods belonging to 4 families from moderately shallow to deep water around the Mozam- bique Channel area, north of Madagascar. A total of 27 % of the species recovered are new geogra- phical range extensions. The New Caledonian material consists of 21 species belonging to 5 fami- lies, and was dredged, with one exception, in moderately deep water. A total of 38 % of the New Caledonian species represent new geographical records, and one of these is a new species : Voluto- mitra (Waimatea) vaubani n. sp. The new name Vexillum (Costellaria) duplex is proposed for the homonymous Mitra simphcissima Schepman, 1911, and its var. glabra Schepman, 1911.

  • Marine Boring Bivalve Mollusks from Isla Margarita, Venezuela
    ISSN 0738-9388 247 Volume: 49 THE FESTIVUS ISSUE 3 Marine boring bivalve mollusks from Isla Margarita, Venezuela Marcel Velásquez 1 1 Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Sorbonne Universites, 43 Rue Cuvier, F-75231 Paris, France; [email protected] Paul Valentich-Scott 2 2 Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Santa Barbara, California, 93105, USA; [email protected] Juan Carlos Capelo 3 3 Estación de Investigaciones Marinas de Margarita. Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales. Apartado 144 Porlama,. Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. ABSTRACT Marine endolithic and wood-boring bivalve mollusks living in rocks, corals, wood, and shells were surveyed on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela at Isla Margarita between 2004 and 2008. These surveys were supplemented with boring mollusk data from malacological collections in Venezuelan museums. A total of 571 individuals, corresponding to 3 orders, 4 families, 15 genera, and 20 species were identified and analyzed. The species with the widest distribution were: Leiosolenus aristatus which was found in 14 of the 24 localities, followed by Leiosolenus bisulcatus and Choristodon robustus, found in eight and six localities, respectively. The remaining species had low densities in the region, being collected in only one to four of the localities sampled. The total number of species reported here represents 68% of the boring mollusks that have been documented in Venezuelan coastal waters. This study represents the first work focused exclusively on the examination of the cryptofaunal mollusks of Isla Margarita, Venezuela. KEY WORDS Shipworms, cryptofauna, Teredinidae, Pholadidae, Gastrochaenidae, Mytilidae, Petricolidae, Margarita Island, Isla Margarita Venezuela, boring bivalves, endolithic. INTRODUCTION The lithophagans (Mytilidae) are among the Bivalve mollusks from a range of families have more recognized boring mollusks.

    Taxonomic study on the molluscs collected in Marion-Dufresne expedition (MD55) to SE Brazil: Xenophoridae, Cypraeoidea, mitriforms and Terebridae (Caenogastropoda) Luiz Ricardo L. SIMONE Carlo M. CUNHA Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, caixa postal 42494, 04218-970 São Paulo, SP (Brazil) [email protected] [email protected] Simone L. R. L. & Cunha C. M. 2012. — Taxonomic study on the molluscs collected in Marion-Dufresne expedition (MD55) to SE Brazil: Xenophoridae, Cypraeoidea, mitriforms and Terebridae (Caenogastropoda). Zoosystema 34 (4): 745-781. http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/z2012n4a6 ABSTRACT The deep-water molluscs collected during the expedition MD55 off SE Brazil have been gradually studied in some previous papers. The present one is focused on samples belonging to caenogastropod taxa Xenophoridae Troschel, 1852, Cypraeoidea Rafinesque, 1815, mitriforms and Terebridae Mörch, 1852. Regarding the Xenophoridae, Onustus aquitanus n. sp. is a new species, collected off the littoral of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 430-637 m depth (continental slope). The main characters of the species include the small size (c. 20 mm), the proportionally wide shell, the white colour, the short peripheral flange, the oblique riblets weakly developed and a brown multispiral protoconch. This appears to be the smallest living species of the family, resembling in this aspect fossil species. In respect to the Cypraeoidea, the following results were obtained: family Cypraeidae Rafinesque, 1815: Erosaria acicularis (Gmelin, 1791) and Luria cinerea (Gmelin, 1791) had the deepest record, respectively 607-620 m and 295-940 m, although the samples were all dead, eroded shells. Family Lamellariidae d’Orbigny, 1841: a total of three lots were collected, provisionally identified as Lamellaria spp.

  • North Carolina Shell Club Auction Catalog III
    North Carolina Shell Club Auction Catalog III For shells to have scientific value, where they were collected is of utmost importance. To keep track of this information a shell may have a control number and a data slip stored with it. A catalog may also be present recording the information. If the record becomes separated from the shell its im- portance to science is greatly diminished. This catalog features a collection of shells that were at one time cataloged but have since lost those records. Included in this list are some very special shells from this collection. Even without collecting data shells remain objects of beauty and fascination. The shells are selected for their exceptional qualities including beauty. Here is a chance to add a standout shell or two to your collection without the added value often associated with collecting data.

Saburo MuRAYAMA* and Kunio HlRATA** Abstract On the fauna of the shell-bearing molluscs of the Uji Islets, there is a report by Hirata(1954), where 106 species were listed3). The present survey was carried out from 20th to 30th, September, 1964 by Murayama, one of the members of the research group about the marine population and the fishing ground around the Islets, and added 48 species to the previous list. The Islets is uninhabited. It is composed of two main islets which have rocky cliffs and a few stony poor beaches, protected by many rocks. The molluscan fauna of the Islets corresponds to such environment. Four families include decisively abundant species: Muricidae 22, Cypraeidae 16, Conidae 15, and Trochidae 13 species; and the other families include less than 6.

NMFS proposes to implement the specifications for fishing year 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 separately prior to each fishing year. The specifications pertain to ACLs for coral reef ecosystem fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ or federal waters; generally 3-200 nautical miles or nm) around American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, and Hawaii, and a post-season AM to correct the overage of an ACL if it occurs. Because of the large number of individual coral reef ecosystem management unit species (CREMUS) in each island area, individual species were aggregated into higher taxonomic groups, generally at the family level.

Picardal Palawan, Philippines College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Western Philippines University Rafael M. Picardal and Roger G. Dolorosa Roger G. Dolorosa Abstract College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Western Philippines With the rising pressure of urbanization to biodiversity, this study aimed to obtain baseline information University on species richness of gastropods and bivalves in two protected bays (Turtle and Binunsalian) in Puerto Princesa City, Philippines before the establishment of the proposed mega resort facilities. A total of 108 species were recorded, (19 bivalves and 89 gastropods). The list includes two rare miters, seven recently described species and first record of Timoclea imbricata (Veneridae) in Palawan. Threatened species were not encountered during the survey suggesting that both bays had been overfished. Turtle Bay had very low visibility, low coral cover, substantial signs of ecosystem disturbances and shift from coral to algal communities. Although Binunsalian Bay had clearer waters and relatively high coral cover, associated fish and macrobenthic invertebrates were of low or no commercial values. Upon the establishment and operations of the resort facilities, follow-up species inventories and habitat assessment are suggested to evaluate the importance of private resorts in biodiversity restoration. Keywords: Binunsalian Bay, bivalves, gastropods, Palawan, species inventory, Turtle Bay 1. Introduction Gastropods and bivalves are among the most fascinating groups of molluscs that for centuries have attracted hobbyists, businessmen, ecologists and scientists among others from around the globe.
