It confirms the naturalization of this species in Northeastern North America, which was previously known on drift material only.

WEIGAND,* ADRIENNE JOCHUM,* MARKUS PFENNINGER,† DIRK STEINKE‡ and ANNETTE KLUSSMANN-KOLB*,† *Institute for Ecology, Evolution and Diversity, Siesmayerstrasse 70, Goethe-University, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, †Research Centre Biodiversity and Climate, Siesmayerstrasse 70, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, ‡Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road West, Guelph, ON N1G 2V7, Canada Abstract The identification of microsnail taxa based on morphological characters is often a time-consuming and inconclusive process. Aspects such as morphological stasis and phenotypic plasticity further complicate their taxonomic designation. In this study, we demonstrate that the application of DNA barcoding can alleviate these problems within the Carychiidae (Gastro- poda, Pulmonata). These microsnails are a taxon of the pulmonate lineage and most likely migrated onto land indepen- dently of the Stylommatophora clade. Their taxonomical classification is currently based on conchological and anatomical characters only. Despite much confusion about historic species assignments, the Carychiidae can be unambiguously subdi- vided into two taxa: (i) Zospeum species, which are restricted to karst caves, and (ii) Carychium species, which occur in a broad range of environmental conditions. The implementation of discrete molecular data (COI marker) enabled us to cor- rectly designate 90% of the carychiid microsnails. The remaining cases were probably cryptic Zospeum and Carychium taxa and incipient species, which require further investigation into their species status. Because conventional reliance upon mostly continuous (i.e.

The genus Ferussac, 1814, occur (Ferussaciidae Bourguignat, 1883). most C. acicula is well-known common one, (O.F.

The nomenclature of the second, far more local species has been the subject of much dispute. This species has a shell similar to that of C. acicula, but and broader instead of larger relatively (5-7 x 1.9 mm 4.5-5.5 x 1.2 mm), and with the about half instead of about third of the total In aperture forming a height. addition, the columella is clearly more truncate at the base (figs 1-2; Kerney & Cameron, 1979: 149-150; Falkner, 1990: 169, figs 1, 5; Turner et al., 1998: 237-238).

  • Ringiculid Bubble Snails Recovered As the Sister Group to Sea Slugs
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ringiculid bubble snails recovered as the sister group to sea slugs (Nudipleura) Received: 13 May 2016 Yasunori Kano1, Bastian Brenzinger2,3, Alexander Nützel4, Nerida G. Wilson5 & Accepted: 08 July 2016 Michael Schrödl2,3 Published: 08 August 2016 Euthyneuran gastropods represent one of the most diverse lineages in Mollusca (with over 30,000 species), play significant ecological roles in aquatic and terrestrial environments and affect many aspects of human life. However, our understanding of their evolutionary relationships remains incomplete due to missing data for key phylogenetic lineages. The present study integrates such a neglected, ancient snail family Ringiculidae into a molecular systematics of Euthyneura for the first time, and is supplemented by the first microanatomical data. Surprisingly, both molecular and morphological features present compelling evidence for the common ancestry of ringiculid snails with the highly dissimilar Nudipleura—the most species-rich and well-known taxon of sea slugs (nudibranchs and pleurobranchoids). A new taxon name Ringipleura is proposed here for these long-lost sisters, as one of three major euthyneuran clades with late Palaeozoic origins, along with Acteonacea (Acteonoidea + Rissoelloidea) and Tectipleura (Euopisthobranchia + Panpulmonata). The early Euthyneura are suggested to be at least temporary burrowers with a characteristic ‘bubble’ shell, hypertrophied foot and headshield as exemplified by many extant subtaxa with an infaunal mode of life, while the expansion of the mantle might have triggered the explosive Mesozoic radiation of the clade into diverse ecological niches. The traditional gastropod subclass Euthyneura is a highly diverse clade of snails and slugs with at least 30,000 living species1,2.

C HRIStENSEN 2 Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai ‘i 96817-2704, USA; email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Blauneria gracilis Pease, 1860 was described from the “Sandwich Islands” ( i.e. , the Hawaiian Islands) without more precise locality; its author later commented on the living animal and the habitat preferences of the species (Pease 1860, 1869). Kay (1979: 493) stated that the species “has not been recorded since its original description” and there are no known observations of living B. gracilis in the Hawaiian Islands since the mid-19th century. there are, however, several recent finds of dead shells of this species, mostly from archaeological contexts. Athens et al . (1994) and Cowie et al. (1995) recorded a single specimen from an archaeological site on O‘ahu, collected in 1993, and Cowie et al . (1995) briefly reported another specimen from Moloka‘i, also from an archaeological excavation, collected in 1982.

  • Magyarország Recens Puhatestűinek Revideált Katalógusa (Mollusca)

Magyarország recens puhatestűinek revideált katalógusa (Mollusca) PINTÉR László Budapest ABSTRACT: (A revised catalogue of the recent molluscs of Hungary) — This catalo­ gue contains a revised list of recent molluscs living in Hungary, included also the in­ troduced species and the drift-fauna. Tíz évvel ezelőtt jelent meg a „Katalog der rezenten Mollusken Un­ garns" (PINTÉR, 1974) című munka. A zoológiában 10 év igen nagy idő: számtalan új eredmény született, s a régit sok esetben új szempontok és felismerések szerint értékeltük át. Ezeknek az elmúlt éveknek a magyaror­ szági recens malakofaunára vonatkozó eredményeit (mégha sokszor csak részeredmények is) tükrözi a következő összeállítás. A fajlistában csillag (*) jelzi a kizárólag melegházakban vagy botanikus kertekben élő fajokat, s kereszt ( + ) jelöli a csupán folyóhordalékból előkerült fajokat. A fajlistát megjegyzések (1—43) egészítik ki. Az irodalomjegyzék csak azokat a mű­ veket tartalmazza, melyekre a szövegben közvetlen utalás található.

    Banisteria, Number 43, pages 3-20 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society Land Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of Two National Parks along the Potomac River near Washington, District of Columbia Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Timothy A. Pearce Carnegie Museum of Natural History 4400 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-4080 ABSTRACT The land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of two national parks along the Potomac River in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia were surveyed in 2010 and 2011. A total of 64 species was documented accounting for 60 new county or District records. Paralaoma servilis (Shuttleworth) and Zonitoides nitidus (Müller) are recorded for the first time from Virginia and Euconulus polygyratus (Pilsbry) is confirmed from the state. Previously unreported growth forms of Punctum smithi Morrison and Stenotrema barbatum (Clapp) are described. Key words: District of Columbia, Euconulus polygyratus, Gastropoda, land snails, Maryland, national park, Paralaoma servilis, Punctum smithi, Stenotrema barbatum, Virginia, Zonitoides nitidus. INTRODUCTION Although county-level distributions of native land gastropods have been published for the eastern United Land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caeno- States (Hubricht, 1985), and for the District of gastropoda and Pulmonata) represent a large portion of Columbia and Maryland (Grimm, 1971a), and Virginia the terrestrial invertebrate fauna with estimates ranging (Beetle, 1973), no published records exist specific to between 30,000 and 35,000 species worldwide (Solem, the areas inventoried during this study, which covered 1984), including at least 523 native taxa in the eastern select national park sites along the Potomac River in United States (Hubricht, 1985).
