    Records of the Western Australian Museum 25: 369–377 (2010). A new species of the genus Proxichione (Bivalvia: Veneridae) from Western Australia with notes on Late Tertiary species Thomas A. Darragh Department of Invertebrate Palaeontology, Museum Victoria, G.P.O. Box 666, Melbourne Victoria 3001, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Proxichione elimatula sp. nov. is described from the west and south coasts of Western Australia. Proxichione moondarae Darragh, 1965 is recorded from the Late Miocene of South Australia and Late Pliocene of Flinders Island, Tasmania. Proxichione cognata (Pritchard, 1903) is recorded from the Roe Calcarenite (Late Pliocene) of Western Australia. Keywords: new taxon, Murray Basin, Bass Basin. INTRODUCTION Australian Bight westwards and northwards to off Australian fossil species of Proxichione were Kalbarri, Western Australia) and the smallest of the revised and the genus differentiated from species P. persimilis (Iredale, 1930) (distributed from similar looking taxa of the Veneridae by Darragh central New South Wales northwards to southern (1965). Since that time specimens of a new living Queensland). This last species was designated as congeneric species have been accumulating in the the type species of Tigammona Iredale, 1930 (Figure collections of the Western Australian Museum. 1G-L). In addition, the geographical and stratigraphical range of the genus has been extended. Fossils of Proxichione belongs to a group of venerid bivalves Proxichione moondarae Darragh, 1965 have been with prominent comarginal and radial sculpture. collected in South Australia and on Flinders Island, The radial sculpture consists of simple, rounded Tasmania. Maxwell (1978) extended the range of ribs, whereas the comarginal sculpture consists of the genus to New Zealand by describing two taxa prominent erect lamellae, which are corrugated from the Duntroonian and Waitakian (Oligocene) where they cross the ribs and may be recurved of the South Island.

  • The Marine Mollusca of Suriname (Dutch Guiana) Holocene and Recent
    THE MARINE MOLLUSCA OF SURINAME (DUTCH GUIANA) HOLOCENE AND RECENT Part II. BIVALVIA AND SCAPHOPODA by G. O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden "The student must know something of syste- matic work. This is populary supposed to be a dry-as-dust branch of zoology. In fact, the systematist may be called the dustman of biol- ogy, for he performs a laborious and frequently thankless task for his fellows, and yet it is one which is essential for their well-being and progress". Maud D. Haviland in: Forest, steppe and tundra, 1926. CONTENTS Ι. Introduction, systematic survey and page references 3 2. Bivalvia and Scaphopoda 7 3. References 86 4. 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.

    * SYNOPSIS OF thp: family venerid.t^ and of the NORTH AMERICAN RECENT SPECIES. B}^ WiLiJAM Hkai;ky Dall, Honontrji ('iirator, Division of Mollnsks. This synopsis is one of a series of similar summaries of the families of bivalve mollusks which have been prepared by the writer in the course of a revision of our Peleeypod fauna in the light of th(^ material accumulated in the collections of the United States National Museum. While the lists of species are made as complete as possible, for the coasts of the United States, the list of those ascribed to the Antilles, Central and South America, is pro])ably subject to considerable addi- tions when the fauna of these regions is better known and the litera- ture more thoroughly sifted. No claim of completeness is therefore made for this portion of the work, except when so expressly stated. So many of the southern forms extend to the verge of our territory that it was thought well to include those known to exist in the vicinity when it could l)e done without too greatly increasing the labor involved in the known North American list. The publications of authors included in the bibliograph}' which follows are referred to by date in the text, but it may be said that the full explanation of changes made and decisions as to nomenclature arrived at is included in the memoir on the Tertiary fauna of Florida in course of pul)lication by the Wagner Institute, of Philadelphia, for the writer, forming the third volume of their transactions.

  • Effect of Some Myotropic Substances on Mollusc Hearts
    EFFECT OF SOME MYOTROPIC SUBSTANCES ON MOLLUSC HEARTS By C. C. KRATZING* and R. J. LADD* [Manuscript received September 6, 1966] Summary The hearts from a number of estuarine molluscs typical of eastern Australian waters have been examined for their response to acetylcholine, adrenaline, nor­ adrenaline, and serotonin. Under the conditions of these experiments Anadara trapezia showed the highest sensitivity to acetylcholine, being depressed by 0·001 p.g/ml. Adrenaline in concentrations of 0·005 p.g/ml produced a decrease in the amplitude of contractions of Regozara flava heart which also responded to 0·01 p.g/ml noradren­ aline. Hearts from other species did not respond to catecholamines. Fragum unedo and Regozara jlava heart showed greatest sensitivity to serotonin 'which increased amplitude of contraction. Pinna menkei heart was unresponsive to myotropic substances under the conditions used. The factors affecting sensitivity of response to myotropic substances are discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION The phylum Mollusca has been shown to contain a number of species which display remarkable sensitivity to various vertebrate transmitter substances. Thus the cephalopod heart responds to concentrations of adrenaline and noradrenaline which are of the same order as those which produce a response in mammalian tissue (for references see Fange 1962). Gaddum and Paasonen (1955) were able to detect 1 X lO-4 /Lg/ml serotonin using the isolated heart of Spisula solida (Dillwyn) and Prosser (1940) showed that Mercenaria (= Venus) mercenaria (L.) heart responded to 1 X lO-6 /Lg/ml acetylcholine. A survey of molluscs for suitability as test objects for the assay of acetylcholine was carried out at Sydney by Ladd and Thorburn (1955) who found the tapestry cockle, Tapes watlingi (Iredale) (= T.

The Black Sea is represented by a total of 20 alien species, the Sea of Marmara by 48 species, the Aegean Sea by 98 species and the Levantine Sea by 202 species. The majority of aliens found in the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara were transported via shipping, whereas the Levantine coast is extensively subjected to Lessepsian migration. Benthic habitats (soft and hard substrata) comprise 76% of the total alien species and the pelagic environment is inhabited by thirty-nine species. Almost 50% of aliens collected from the Turkish coasts were found only at 0-10 m depth. Eight species occur at depths deeper than 100 m.

Of the 55 sampling sites, 20 were located in Chonburi, 10 in Rayong, 7 in Chanthaburi, and 18 in Trad. Specimens were collected from sandy beaches, muddy sand, rocky shore, and coral reefs, between April 2005 and July 2009. A total of 321 species, 43 families, and 118 genera were recorded. The most widespread species were Tridacna crocea and T. squamosa (Tridacnidae) which occurred in 37 locations, followed by Barbatia foliata (Arcidae) and Liochoncha annettae (Veneridae) presented in 36 sites, Pedum spondyloideum (Pectinidae) that was found in 35 sites, Tapes literatus that occurred in 34 sites, and Vasticardium pectiniforme (Cardiidae) that was registered in 33 sites. The highest diversity was observed in Rayong province with 192 species, B. foliata being the most common species.
