New records of 8 Solariellidae species from Indonesia and Taiwan area are documented. which extend the distribution area of a number of them. 10 new species are described and compared with similar species : Solariella chodon n. sp.: S. euteia n. sp.; S. plakhus n. sp.; S. chani n. sp.: Archiminolia ptykte n. sp.; A. ostreion n. sp.; A. strobilos n. sp.; Microgaza konos n. sp.; Bathymophila aages n. sp.; Spectamen babylonia n. sp. A short conchological characterization is proposed for each genus Solariella, Archiminolia. Microgaza. Bathymophila. Spectamen. Zetela and Minolta. RESUME. De nouveaux relevés de 8 espèces de Solariellidae provenant d'Indonésie et de Taïwan sont listés, étendant ainsi l'aire de distribution d'un certain nombre d'entre elles. 10 nouvelles espèces sont décrites et comparées avec des espèces similaires : Solariella chodon n. sp.; S. euteia n. sp.: S. plakhus n. sp.; S. chani n. sp.; Archiminolia ptykte n. sp.; A. ostreion n. sp.; A. strobilos n. sp.; Microgaza konos n. sp.; Bathymophila aages n. sp.; Spectamen babylonia n. sp. Une courte caractérisation conchyliologique est proposée pour chaque genre Solariella. Archiminolia. Microgaza. Bathymophila. Spectamen. Zetela and Minolta. INTRODUCTION described accurately some species. other récent "Solariella" species is an intriguing group of authors mentioned only a few (or even no) solarielline Trochoidea. whose systematics seems rather species (e.g.Dharma. 1988. 2005). The situation is complicated. Within the Solariellidae. some gênera are similar regarding Taiwan, for which no large revision available (Minolta, Microgaza. Archiminolia. of Solariellidae exists yet; some books or papers Bathymophila. Zetela. ...). but it is sometimes not describe or mention only short number of species (Lee obvious to deal with them for concrète studied & Wu. 2001: Dong. 2002). Some valuable spécimens. informations are nevertheless available for What also makes it rather difficult to study thèse comparisons in the Japanese works (Kuroda et al. trochoids is the large amount of nominal species 1971; Higo et al. 1999; Sasaki. 2000. Namikawa et al. described in the past but poorly known. often known 2002) or Australian books (Wilson. 1993). Finally. only from the types. The original descriptions dating some poorly known species may be considered using back from thèse times are sometimes short, rather the cardsofKaicher( 1987, 1990). superficial. almost without discriminating In such a context. it was of high interest to study the comparisons with other related species. Moreover, huge deep water "Solariella" material that is stored in Quinn (1979) has pointed out that the genus the MNHN (Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. Solariella. with a large number of subgenera, was Paris) as a resuit of numerous expéditions conducted formerly used to classify miscellaneous species. some for the last thirty years (Bouchet et al.. 2008). of which were actually not Solariellidae at ail but, especially those around Taiwan and Indonesia. = most often. species belonging to the Talopiini ( The présent paper gives a synthetic report on the Monileini) tribe within the trochid subfamily Solariellidae species collected during two expéditions Umboniinae. involving MNHN scientists in eastern Indonesia and In récent years. several régional studies hâve been Taiwan areas. Besides new records for 8 known published : Herbert (1987) gave a revision of species. which sometimes extends their distribution Solariella and related species (especially I/anga) from and/or introduces some variability of shell characters.

Solariellidae species. based on a collection of opinions But only a few informations are available about the of authors that gave objective criteria (Herbert. 1987; Solariellidae of Indonesia : if Schepman (1908) Marshall. 1999) and personal observations.
