Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves II. Psammobiidae Bull. Mus. natn. Hist. nat., Paris, 4' sér., 11, 1989, section A, n° 4 : 693-731. Taxonomy of tropical West African bivalves II. Psammobiidae by Rudo VON COSEL Abstrait. — Of the eleven known Eastern Atlantic species of the bivalve family Psammobiidae, Ave are members of the European fauna and are also found in more or less long ranges on the coast of tropical West Africa. Four species are restricted to the West African tropical zone, one is exclusively European and one is only known from a small coastal strip of Northern Angola, and from Côte d'Ivoire. Gari jousseaumeana Bertin, 1880, G. depressa (Pennant, 1777), G. costulata (Turton, 1810) seem to have a disjunct distribution with a probable distribution gap within the tropical zone. Three species are new : Gari pseudoweinkauffi n. sp. from infralittoral sandy bottom, hitherto misidentified with the Red Sea species G. weinkauffi (Crosse, 1864), G. gofasi n. sp. from infralittoral sandy bottom of the West African tropical zone, and Sanguinolaria africana n. sp. also from tropical West Africa and hitherto confounded with the Caribbean S. sanguinolenta (Gmelin, 1791). Résumé. — Onze espèces de la famille Psammobiidae sont connues de l'Atlantique oriental dont cinq en Europe et dans une partie au moins de l'Afrique Occidentale tropicale. Quatre espèces sont exclusivement tropicales, une espèce est restreinte à l'Europe et une espèce n'est connue que d'une petite partie de la côte du nord de l'Angola et de Côte d'Ivoire. Gari jousseaumeana Bertin, 1880, G. depressa (Pennant, 1777) et G. costulata (Turton, 1810) ont très probablement une distribution disjointe avec une interruption dans une partie plus ou moins grande de la zone tropicale. Trois espèces sont nouvelles : G. pseudoweinkauffi n. sp. des fonds sableux infralittoraux jusqu'ici confondu avec l'espèce de mer Rouge G. weinkauffi (Crosse, 1864), G. gofasi n. sp. des fonds sableux infralittoraux de la zone tropicale ouest- africaine et Sanguinolaria africana n. sp., de même répartition, jusqu'ici confondu avec l'espèce caraïbe S. sanguinolenta (Gmelin, 1791). R. VON COSEL, Marine biologist at ORSTOM, Laboratoire de Biologie des Invertébrés marins et Malacologie, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, 55, rue Buffon, F-75005 Paris. Of the Psammobiidae, a family of sand-dwelling tellinacean bivalves, eleven species are now known from the Eastern Atlantic, and ten of them are présent in tropical West Africa. Seven West African species are named, but some are still poorly known ; the remaining three will be described here. The only non-West African species, G. tellinella (Lamarck, 1818) is included here to give a complète survey of the Eastern Atlantic species. Nine species belong to the genus Gari Schumacher, 1817, one to Heterodonax Môrch, 1853, and one to Sanguinolaria Lamarck, 1799. This genus was often treated in an own family Sanguinolariidae, but KEEN in MOORE (1969) included this as a subfamily in the Psammobiidae. As a generic revision can be carried out only on a Worldwide level, no attempt has been made here, and a conservative, noncritical systematic has been employed. — 694 — Gari fervensis (Gmelin, 1791) Tellina angulata Born, 1780 : 30, pl. 2; fig. 5 (non Linné, 1758). Tellina fervensis Gmelin, 1791 : 3235 (name on the Officiai List of Spécifie Names (ICZN,Opinion 910, 5. june, 1970). Tellina bornii Gmelin, 1791 : 3231. TYPE MATERIAL : Not localized (not in ZMC, SCHIOTTE, in litt., 10.11.90). TYPE LOCALITY : " Oceano septentrionali ". DESCRIPTION Shell medium-sized, up to 53 mm long, moderately solid, variable in outline, slightly inequivalve, nearly equilateral, elongate, length/width ratio ranging between 1.9 and 2.4 : 1. Valves compressed, left valve considerably to very slightly more convex than right valve, posterior end somewhat twisted to the right side and occasionally slightly gaping. Anterior margin rounded, posterior margin obliquely truncated, with sharp angles. Postero-dorsal margin straight or slightly convex, with a weak slope only, ending abruptly in the angle to the posterior truncation. Ventral margin gently convex, posteriorly bent upwards, postero-ventral margin weakly concave, ending in the sharp angle to the posterior truncation. Beaks just before the vertical midline. Exterior with numerous, fine, concentric ridges, occasionally becoming obsolète on the left valve. Sharp keel running from the umbos to the postero-ventral angle and delimiting the postero-dorsal part with about eight radial ribs crossing the concentric sculpture and giving this part of the valves a cancellate pattern. Hinge plate narrow, two bifid cardinals in the right valve, the posterior strongly bifid, left valve with one stronger vertical bifid cardinal and one narrow oblique-subhorizontal posterior cardinal ; no laterals. Palliai sinus rounded, extending just to the level of the beaks, its ventral limb confluent with the palliai line for two thirds of its length. Outside of valves whitish to pale violet with light to darker brownish or reddish to violet radial rays, often with lighter mottlings on them. Occasionally, only irregular mottlings are présent instead of rays, with growth stages marked by darker concentric zones. Periostracum rather strong, brown to olive, normally peeling off on earlier parts of the valves. On West African spécimens, periostracum very thin and transparent. Inside light to dark violet, in some spécimens light brownish to yellowish, often bright yellow in Mauritanian spécimens.

  • Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae
    Bull. Mus. nati. Hist, nat., Paris, 4' sér., 14, 1992, section A, nos 3-4 : 655-691. Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae by P. Graham OLIVER and Rudo VON COSEL Abstract. — Five species of Noetiidae are described from tropical West Africa, defined here as between 23° N and 17°S. The Noetiidae are represented by five genera, and four new taxa are introduced : Stenocista n. gen., erected for Area gambiensis Reeve; Sheldonella minutalis n. sp., Striarca lactea scoliosa n. subsp. and Striarca lactea epetrima n. subsp. Striarca lactea shows considerable variation within species. Ecological factors and geographical clines are invoked to explain some of this variation but local genetic isolation could not be excluded. The relationships of the shallow water West African noetiid species are analysed and compared to the faunas of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panamic and Indo- Pacific regions. Stenocista is the only genus endemic to West Africa. A general discussion on the relationships of all the shallow water West African Arcoidea is presented. The level of generic endemism is low and there is clear evidence of circumtropical patterns of similarity between species. The greatest affinity is with the Indo-Pacific but this pattern is not consistent between subfamilies. Notably the Anadarinae have greatest similarity to the Panamic faunal province. Résumé. — Description de cinq espèces de Noetiidae d'Afrique occidentale tropicale, ici définie entre 23° N et 17° S. Les Noetiidae sont représentés par cinq genres.

List of corrections of Part I 93 5. Plates 94 6. Addendum 100 1. INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F. Augustinus for having provided many new coastal records for several species.

  • MURKY WATERS Why the Cholera Epidemic in Luanda
    MURKY WATERS Why the cholera epidemic in Luanda (Angola) was a disaster waiting to happen MSF May 2006 ! !1 Executive Summary Since February 2006, Luanda is going through its worst ever cholera epidemic, with an average of 500 new cases per day. The outbreak has also rapidly spread to the provinces and to date, 11 of the 18 provinces are reporting cases. The population of Luanda has doubled in the last 10 years, and most of this growth is concentrated in slums where the living conditions are appalling. Despite impressive revenues from oil and diamonds, there has been virtually no investment in basic services since the 1970s and only a privileged minority of the people living in Luanda have access to running water. The rest of the population get most of their water from a huge network of water trucks that collect water from two main points (Kifangondo at Bengo river in Cacuaco and Kikuxi at Kuanza river in Viana) and then distribute it all over town at a considerable profit. Water, the most basic of commodities, is a lucrative and at times complex business in Luanda, with prices that vary depending on demand. Without sufficient quantities of water, and given the lack of proper drainage and rubbish collection, disease is rampant in the vast slums. This disastrous water and sanitation situation makes it virtually impossible to contain the rapid spread of the outbreak. Médecins Sans Frontières is already working in ten cholera treatment structures, and may open more in the coming weeks. Out of the 17,500 patients reported in Luanda (the figure for all of Angola is 34,000), more than14,000 have been treated in MSF centres Despite significant efforts to ensure that patients have access to treatment, very little has been done to prevent hundreds more from becoming infected.

Four genera are represented: Asaphis Modeer, l793; Heteroglypta Martens, 1880; Gari Schumacher, 1817; Soletellina Blainville, 1824. The largest genus, Gari, is divided into nine subgenera: Gari sensu stricto; Psammobia Lamarck, 1818; Gobraeus Brown, 1844; Dysmea DaB, Bartsch & Rehder, 1936; Kermadysmea Powell, 1958; Psammotaena Dall, 1900; Crassulobia n.subgen.; Psammobella Gray, 1851; Psammodonax Cossmann, 1877. Subgenera are not recognised for any of the other three genera. One new species, Gari (Gobraeus) eos, from the Chesterfield-Bellona Plateau in the Coral Sea is described. Asaphis nana Powell, 1958, Psammobia flexuosa A. Adams & Reeve, 1850, Psammobia brazieri Tate, 1886 and the genus Ascitellina Marwick, 1928 are excluded from the Psammobiidae as presently defined and transferred to the Tellinidae because all possess lateral teeth in at least one valve. Asaphis nana is possibly a species of Agnomyax Stewart, 1930. Psammobia flexuosa is a junior synonym of Cymatoica undulata (Hanley, 1844). Psammobia brazieri is probably a species of Tellina Linne. Ascitellina may be synonymous with Elliptotellina Cossmann, 1887. Psammobia vitrea QUoy & Gaimard, 1835 is transferred to the Galeommatidae, probably to the genus Scintilla Deshayes, 1856. The region possess the highest species diversity known anywhere for the family.
