No presente trabalho é apresentada uma lista actualizada dos moluscos marinhos dos arquipélagos da Madeira e das Selvagens. A lista contém cerca de 850 espécies e é o resultado do estudo de uma substancial quantidade de material obtida de várias formas, do estudo de várias colecções museológicas e de uma extensa revisão bibliográfica. INTRODUCTION The interest in the marine mollusc fauna of Madeira started, in the mid-19th century, with the first checklist published by Mac ANDREW (1854) reporting 125 species and continued over the next 50 years, resulting in publications by famous malacologists such as JEFFREYS (1867), MANZONI (1868) and of course, AUGUSTO NOBRE (1889, 1894, 1905) and the Rev. BOOG WATSON (1873, 1885, 1891, 1897). In his 1897 publication, his major work, Watson added the findings from the archipelago of the Selvagens to those from the archipelago of Madeira, most probably for political reasons, and ended up with a record of 382 species. In the following century, only NOBRE (1937) published a complete list using the same geographical boundaries as Watson, recording 405 species, and FRITZ NORDSIECK & FRANCISCO TALAVERA (1979) presented their work on the marine gastropods of the Canary Islands and Madeira, including the Selvagens, based on the records of TALAVERA (1978). Later authors such as J. Van Aartsen, R. Moolenbeek, S. Gofas, P. Bouchet and A. Warén, amongst others, brought a new influx of very valuable but scattered results from the findings of the CANCAP Expeditions (1975-1986) and the Seamount 1 & 2 Expeditions (1987- 1993). Although the study of material from these expeditions is still ongoing, those data which have been published gave a boost to the interest in the marine fauna of the north- eastern Atlantic and its archipelagos. These new data, together with new specimens from the SEPLAT Expedition (1992) in Madeira and the PSMAC Expedition (2000) in Porto Santo, complemented with recent collections made by the staff of the Museu Municipal do Funchal (História Natural), resulted in the idea to make an updated checklist of the marine malacological fauna of the archipelagos of Madeira and the Selvagens, following Watson and Nobre. While this idea was being developed, CERVERA et al. (2004) added a lot of information on the Opisthobranchiata from Portugal and Spain. The major goal of this work is not only to give a complete review of the species recorded from the area, but also to correct, as far as possible, the mistakes made in the past. In order to achieve this goal, the authors gathered a lot of literature on the subject and, in cooperation with the Malacological section of the Museu Municipal do Funchal (História Natural), Madeira, collected, sorted and identified a large amount of material from the above cited expeditions, from some other smaller expeditions and from some occasional dredging works. A minor amount of material was collected by divers in shallow water or on the 3 shore, or by snorkelling. All these findings were compared with material in collections from different museums, such as the Mac Andrew / Watson / Norman collections in London, the Melvill-Tomlin collection in Cardiff, the Nobre collection in Porto, the Nordsieck / Talavera collection in Tenerife and the Nordsieck collection in Frankfurt. Material from the CANCAP Expedition in Leiden / Amsterdam as well as from the TRAVAILLEUR & TALISMAN, PRINCE OF MONACO and ABYPLAINE expeditions in Paris, was also studied. This checklist has been updated up to the 31st of December 2008 and contains about 850 species. Some of these species could not be identified and are marked as “sp.”. All accepted taxa (about 750 species) are marked in bold. Doubtful or rejected records (about 100 species), are not marked in bold. The taxonomy adopted in the present checklist follows CLEMAM (Checklist of Recent European Marine Molluscs). 4 SYSTEMATICS Class MONOPLACOPHORA Genus Patella Linné,1758 Order MONOPLACOPHORIDA Patella candei candei d,Orbigny, 1840 Family NEOPILINIDAE Patella piperata Gould, 1846 Genus Veleropilina Starobogatov & Moskalev, Patella tenuis tenuis Gmelin, 1791 1987 Patella ulyssiponensis gmelin, 1791 Veleropilina zofragi (Dautzenberg & Fischer, Family ACMAEIDAE 1896) Genus Pectinodonta Dall,1882 Pectinodonta maxima Dautzenberg, 1925 Class POLYPLACOPHORA Family LEPETIDAE Gray,1850 Order LEPIDOPLEURIDA Genus Propilidium Forbes & Hanley,1849 Family LEPTOCHITONIDAE Propilidium exiguum (Thompson W.,1844) Genus Leptochiton Gray, 1847 Family LOTTHIDAE Leptochiton algesirensis (Capellini, 1859) Genus Tectura Gray, 1847 Leptochiton cancellatus (Sowerby G.B.H., Tectura virginea (Muller O.

  • Analisi Archeozoologica Della Fauna Proveniente Dallo Scavo Di Fonteblanda (Grosseto), 1993
    ANALISI ARCHEOZOOLOGICA DELLA FAUNA PROVENIENTE DALLO SCAVO DI FONTEBLANDA (GROSSETO), 1993 (Con la tav. XXIII f.t.) Lo scavo, condotto in più fasi e ubicato nell’area portuale di Talamone (GR), tra la località di Fonteblanda e quella di La Puntata1 ha restituito, durante la campagna del 1993, un buon numero di reperti osteologici animali, attribuibili, in base alla presenza e alla concomitanza di resti archeologici in prevalenza ceramici, al VI secolo a.C. Il materiale proviene, nella sua interezza, da una discarica, anch’essa scavata a più riprese, ed è stato suddiviso in due principali unità stratigrafiche: US 101 e US 103, le quali a loro volta presentano una diversificazione del materiale in base al loro ritrovamen­ to in relazione all’Ambiente XY, ovvero US 101 Ambiente XY e US 103 Ambiente XY. Tuttavia, nonostante l’accurata distinzione stratigrafica, per quanto concerne Io studio archeozoologico, i reperti possono essere tutti inquadrati nell’unico contesto della sud­ detta discarica trovata in prossimità di una strada che passava di fronte all’Ambiente XY e, su di essi, è stato possibile compiere uno studio globale, calcolando il numero minimo d’individui (NMI, cioè il più piccolo numero di individui necessario per contare tutti gli elementi scheletrici di una determinata specie, il quale annulla, in parte, gli effetti della frammentazione rendendo migliore la visione di insieme), l’altezza al garrese (solo per alcuni esemplari), l’analisi dell’età di morte (condotta in base all’usura dentaria e alla tipologia delle saldature delle estremità alle diafisi) e dei tagli di macellazione, scarnifi­ cazione e disarticolazione, chiaro simbolo di uso alimentare delle specie di macrofauna rinvenute* 2.

This study was carried out, through a total of 271 scuba dives, from 2017 to the beginning of 2020 in four sites located along the Ionian coasts of Sicily: Catania, Aci Trezza, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla. Through a photographic data collection, 95 taxa, representing 17.27% of all Mediterranean marine Heterobranchia, were reported. The order with the highest number of found species was that of Nudibranchia. Among the study areas, Catania, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla had not a remarkable difference in the number of species, while Aci Trezza had the lowest number of species. Moreover, among the 95 taxa, four species considered rare and six non-indigenous species have been recorded. Since the presence of a high diversity of sea slugs in a relatively small area, the central-eastern coast of Sicily could be considered a zone of high biodiversity for the marine Heterobranchia fauna.

  • Reconnaître Les Principaux Bivalves Fouisseurs Ou Foreurs Au Moyen De Leurs Siphons
    Reconnaître les principaux bivalves fouisseurs ou foreurs au moyen de leurs siphons. 56 espèces Clé de détermination des 20 taxons les plus gros Yves MÜLLER Yves Müller Mai 2016 Reconnaître les principaux bivalves fouisseurs ou foreurs au moyen de leurs siphons. Dans la quasi-totalité des ouvrages traitant des mollusques lamellibranches (ou mollusques bivalves), ce sont les coquilles qui sont décrites (la conchyologie) avec principalement la description des charnières pour la classification. Pour les parties molles (la malacologie) ce sont les branchies qui sont utilisées. Ce qui n’est pas très accessible au plongeur même photographe ! Selon Martoja (1995) 75 % des espèces de bivalves vivent dans les fonds meubles. Certaines espèces trahissent leur présence par leurs siphons qui affleurent à la surface du sédiment, mais il est difficile, au cours d’une plongée, d’identifier les bivalves enfouis dans le sédiment. D’autres espèces de bivalves vivent dans des substrats durs (bois, roche). Ils forent alors une loge dans ce substrat et en général seuls les siphons sont visibles. Le même problème se pose, à quelle espèce appartiennent les siphons ? Selon Bouchet et al. (1978 :92): « Les siphons constituent un moyen de détermination des bivalves aussi fiable que la coquille et la charnière ». Des auteurs anciens comme Deshayes (1844-1848), Forbes et Hanley (1850-1853), Jeffreys (1863, 1865) et Meyer & Möbius (1872) et quelques autres plus récents comme Owen (1953 ; 1959), Purchon (1955a, b), Holme (1959) et Amouroux (1980) ont décrit les siphons de plusieurs espèces. La plupart des espèces de bivalves mesurent entre un et plusieurs centimètres mais les siphons sont pour la plupart courts ou très fins et rétractiles au moindre danger, donc difficilement observables en plongée.

A blind abyssal Corambidae (Mollusca, Nudibranchia) SARSIA from the Norwegian Sea, with a reevaluation of the systematics of the family. – Sarsia 83:15-20. Bergen. ISSN 0036-4827. Echinocorambe brattegardi gen. et sp. nov. is described based on five eyeless specimens collected between 2538 and 3016 m depth in the Norwegian Sea. This new monotypic genus differs from other confamilial taxa in having the dorsum covered with long papillae and a radula formula n.3.1.3.n. The posterior notch in the notum and gill morphology, which have traditionally been used as generic characters in the family Corambidae, are considered to have little or no taxonomical value above species level. Instead of the currently described 11 nominal genera, we recognize as valid only Corambe and Loy, to which is now added Echinocorambe. Loy differs from Corambe in the asym- metrical lobes of the posterior notal notch and the presence of spicules in the notum. All other nominal genera are objective or subjective synonyms of these two.

Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones. Los insectos son claramente el colectivo más estudiado, pero se aprecia una disminución en su importancia relativa, asociada al incremento de estudios en grupos poco conocidos como los nematodos. Palabras clave: Biodiversidad; Taxonomía; Península Ibérica; España; Portugal; Baleares.

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.

    ^;^2_ MALACOLOGIA, 1993, 35(2); 261-313 PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND GENERIC REVIEW OF THE BITTIINAE (PROSOBRANCHIA: GERITHIOIDEA) Richard S. Houbrick Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The anatomy of seven members of the Bittium group is described, clarifying the status of the genus-level taxa comprising it. Bittium reticulatum, the type species of Bittium Gray, is described in depth, thereby establishing criteria for comparisons with other taxa of Bitliinae. The type species of Stylidium Dell and LirobiWum Bartsch, and representatives of Bittiolum Cossmann and Cacozeliana Strand are examined and compared with Bittium, s.s. Results of anatomical studies and a phylogenetic analysis using the Hennig86 and CLADOS programs, with Cehtt)ium as an outgroup, establish monophyly for Bitliinae Cossmann and reveal six different genus-level taxa. A new genus, ittibittium, from the Indo-Pacific, is proposed. Synonymies of each genus- level taxon and representative species examined are presented. Brief accounts of the ecology and zoogeography of each taxon are given. Two taxa formerly attributed to the 6/ff/um-group are herein excluded from it and referred to Cerithium Bruguière. These are Cerithium zebrum Kiener, 1841, and Cerithium boeticum Pease, 1861. The subfamily Bittiinae Cossmann, 1906, is thought to comprise nine genera (four of which were not included in phylogenetic analyses) : Bittium Gray, 1847; Bittiolum Cossmann, 1906; Ittibittium gen. n., Stylidium Dalí, 1907; Lirobit- tium Bartsch, 1911 ; Cacozeliana Strand, 1928; Argyropeza Melvill & Standen, 1901 ; Varicopeza Gründel, 1976; Zebittium Finlay, 1927. The genus Cassiella Gofas, 1987, of uncertain place- ment, is included as a possible member of the group.
