The family is divided into four subfamilies. Two new subfamilîes are introduced as Prionovolvinae nov. and Aclyvolvinae nov. The apomorphism and the result of the study of the 16S rRNA gene are contro- versally concerning the Pediculariidae. Therefore, the Pediculariidae are excluded as subfamily from the Ovulidae.

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. -
Xenophoridae, Cypraeoidea, Mitriforms and Terebridae (Caenogastropoda)
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. -

Scientific Studies on Dry Tortugas National Park: an Annotated Bibliography
ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 449 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY BY T.W. SCHMIDT AND L. PIKULA ISSUED BY NATIONAI, MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. OCTOBER 1997 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Thomas W. schmidt1 and Linda pikula2 ABSTRACT Dry Tortugas National Park, located 110 km west of Key West, Florida, is an elliptical, atoll-like, coral reef formation, approximately 27 km long and 12 km wide with shallow water depths ranging from 12-20 m in channels between reefs. In 1935, the area was designated Fort Jefferson National Monument, the World's first underwater National Park unit. Central to the area is Fort Jefferson, America's largest coastal nineteenth century masonty fort. In 1992 it was re-designated Dly Tortugas National Park. Because of the islands' unique location, the first tropical marine biological laboratory in the Western Hemisphere was established on Loggerhead Key by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Washington, D. C. Following the closure of the Tortugas Laboratory in 1939, aperiodic marine biological assessments have been conducted in response to man- made and natural environmental perturbations. This annotated bibliography is an attempt to provide researchers and resource managers with access to the rapidly accumulating body of information on the park's natural resources. A total of 424 references (published and unpublished) on scientific studies in, (and what later became) Dry Tortugas National Park were annotated and indexed according to major scientific topics. Studies from a wider area were included if they also sampled in Dry Tortugas National Park. -
The Occurrence of Pseudosimnia Vanhyningi and Spiculata Bijuri in the Northeastern Brazil, with Comments on Their Taxonomy (Caenogastropoda, Ovulidae)
Strombus(2007) - ISSN 0104-7531 The occurrence of Pseudosimnia vanhyningi and Spiculata bijuri in the northeastern Brazil, with comments on their taxonomy (Caenogastropoda, Ovulidae). Luiz Ricardo L. Simone Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo; Cx. Postal 42494; 04299-970 São Paulo, SP. Brazil; [email protected] Abstract This paper deals with two ovulid species collected at Canopus Bank, off Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil: Pseudosimnia vanhyningi (M. Smith, 1940) and Spiculata bijuri Cate, 1976. The samples consist of empty shells. This is the first time both have been reported on the northeastern Brazilian coast, therefore this is the southernmost record of them. Their taxonomy is revised based on the analysis of some variants of the shell that have been attributed to other species and genera. Aperiovula juanjosensii Perez & Gomez, 1997, and S. advena Cate, 1978, are proposed to be new synonyms of S. bijuri. Key words: Ovulidae, Pseudosimnia vanhyningi, Spiculata bijuri, new occurrence, Ceará, Brazil. Resumo Este artigo reporta duas espécies de ovulídeos coletadas no Banco de Canopus, ao largo de Fortaleza, CE. As amostras são constituídas de conchas vazias. Ambas são reportadas pela primeira vez no litoral nordeste brasileiro, sendo o registro mais sulino destas. As espécies são Pseudosimnia vanhyningi (M. Smith, 1940) e Spiculata bijuri Cate, 1976. A taxonomia destas é revisada baseada em variantes de concha que podem ser atribuídas a outras espécies e gêneros. Aperiovula juanjosensii Perez & Gomez, 1997 e S. advena Cate, 1978, são propostos como novos sinônimos de S. bijuri. Palavras-chave: Ovulidae, Pseudosimnia vanhyningi, Spiculata bijuri, nova ocorrência, Ceará, Brasil. Introduction As no living specimens of either species were collected, no additional information beyond the shell Pseudosimnia vanhyningi (M. -
Host Specificity and Phylogenetic Relationships Among Atlantic Ovulidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda)

Title: Phylogenetic ecology of octocoral - gastropod associations Issue Date: 2016-10-11 Chapter 1 Host specificity and phylogenetic relationships among Atlantic Ovulidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) Bastian T. Reijnen, Bert W. Hoeksema, Edmund Gittenberger Contributions to Zoology (2010) 79: 69-78 Abstract Ovulid gastropods and their octocoral hosts were collected along the leeward coast of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. New molecular data of Caribbean and a single Atlantic species were combined with comparable data of Indo-Pacific Ovulidae and a single East-Pacific species from GenBank. Based on two DNA markers, viz. COI and 16S, the phylogenetic relationships among all ovulid spe- cies of which these data are available are reconstructed. The provisional results suggest a dichotomy between the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific taxa. Fully grownSimnialena uniplicata closely resembles juvenile Cyphoma gibbosum conchologically. Cymbovula acicularis and C. bahamaensis might be synonyms. The assignments of Caribbean host species for Cyphoma gibbosum, C. signatum, Cymbovula acicularis and Simnialena uniplicata are revised. Hfst 01 Thesis BR.indd 17 26-08-16 09:18 CHAPTER 1 Introduction Ovulid snails are obligate associates of Cnidaria. As far as known, most occur associated with octocorals (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea), but in both the Caribbean and the Indo-Pacific some ovulid species feed on antipatharians (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) (Tazioli et al., 2007). The species of Pedicularia Swainson, 1840, that have been classified with the Ovulidae for a long time (Goud and Hoeksema, 2001), live on stylasterid corals (Hydrozoa: Athecatae: Filefera). -
