(Pulmonata: Vertiginidae) and Strobilops
Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2012. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis & Lucius G. Eldredge. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 114: 39 –42 (2013) Hawaiian land snail records : Lyropupa cookei Clench , 1952 (Pulmonata : Vertiginidae ) and Strobilops aeneus Pilsbry , 1926 (Pulmonata : Strobilopsidae ) CARl C. C HRiSTeNSeN Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817-2704, USA; email: [email protected] This note clarifies the status of two taxa of land snails that have been reported to occur in the Hawaiian islands. Lyropupa cookei Clench, 1952, is shown to be a synonym of Lyropupa anceyana Cooke & Pilsbry in Pilsbry & Cooke, 1920. The sole Hawaiian record for the North American Strobilops aeneus Pilsbry, 1926, is almost certainly based on a mislabeled specimen, and accordingly this species should be removed from the Hawaiian faunal list. Lyropupa cookei Clench , 1952 Lyropupa Pilsbry, 1900, is a genus of pupilloid land snails endemic to the Hawaiian islands. in their monograph of the genus, Pilsbry & Cooke (1920 in 1918–1920: 253–254, pl. 26, figs. 3, 6) published a description of “ Lyropupa anceyana C. & P., n. sp.,” based on specimens from ola‘a on the island of Hawai‘i held in the collections of Bishop Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. They stated that their new species had previously been misidentified by Ancey (1904:124) as Lyropupa lyrata (Gould, 1843) . Several pages earlier, in their systematic treatment of that species, Pilsbry & Cooke (1918–1920: 235) had also set forth their conclusion that Ancey had misidenti - fied Gould’s species and stated that in fact Ancey’s “description of lyrata was based on specimens of an unnamed species for which the name L. -

INTRODUCTION is Cochlostoma Jan, 1830, a characteristic genus of rock-dwelling land snails of the Mediterranean region. Its subgenus Titanopoma A. J. Wagner, 1897, differs from the other the subgenera by structure of the operculum. The species are distributed in Montenegro and Albania (fig. 1). The Montenegrian part of the subgeneric range is relatively well explored (e.g. Wohlberedt, 1909; Sturany & Wagner, 1915; Wagner, 1897, 1906; Varga, 1998). However, there are hardly any data for Albania (e.g. Wohlberedt, 1909; Sturany & Wagner, 1915; Polinski, 1922, 1924; Welter-Schultes, 1996; Feher et al., 2001). Since the early 1990's, as soon as the political situation allowed it, a long-term mala- co-faunistical investigation is executed in Albania by staff members of the Hungarian Natural While the History Museum. -

Burmese Amber Taxa
Burmese (Myanmar) amber taxa, on-line supplement v.2021.1 Andrew J. Ross 21/06/2021 Principal Curator of Palaeobiology Department of Natural Sciences National Museums Scotland Chambers St. Edinburgh EH1 1JF E-mail: [email protected] Dr Andrew Ross | National Museums Scotland (nms.ac.uk) This taxonomic list is a supplement to Ross (2021) and follows the same format. It includes taxa described or recorded from the beginning of January 2021 up to the end of May 2021, plus 3 species that were named in 2020 which were missed. Please note that only higher taxa that include new taxa or changed/corrected records are listed below. The list is until the end of May, however some papers published in June are listed in the ‘in press’ section at the end, but taxa from these are not yet included in the checklist. As per the previous on-line checklists, in the bibliography page numbers have been added (in blue) to those papers that were published on-line previously without page numbers. New additions or changes to the previously published list and supplements are marked in blue, corrections are marked in red. In Ross (2021) new species of spider from Wunderlich & Müller (2020) were listed as being authored by both authors because there was no indication next to the new name to indicate otherwise, however in the introduction it was indicated that the author of the new taxa was Wunderlich only. Where there have been subsequent taxonomic changes to any of these species the authorship has been corrected below. -

Biodiversidad De Gasterópodos Terrestres (Mollusca) En El Parque Biológico Sierra De San Javier, Tucumán, Argentina
Biodiversidad de gasterópodos terrestres (Mollusca) en el Parque Biológico Sierra de San Javier, Tucumán, Argentina María José Miranda & María Gabriela Cuezzo CONICET-Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Miguel Lillo 251, 4000 Tucumán, Argentina; [email protected], [email protected] Recibido 08-III-2009. Corregido 12-III-2010. Aceptado 08-IV-2010. Abstract: Biodiversity of land gastropods (Mollusca) in Sierra de San Javier Park, Tucumán, Argentina. Studies related to land mollusk diversity in tropical and subtropical forests are scarce. To assess this, a study on land snail diversity of subtropical cloudforest (Yungas) and dry forest (Chaco) areas of Sierra de San Javier Park, Tucumán, Argentina, was carried out. Taxonomic identifications were performed to species level and built a species per stations data matrix to analyze diversity patterns on qualitative and quantitative samples processed from 10x10m quadrates in altitudinal transects. Non parametric analysis (ICE, ACE, Chao 1 and Chao 2) were used to estimate the true diversity of the area, as well as the degree of undersampling and spatial aggregation of the data. Diversity was also calculated using Shannon, Simpson, Whittaker and Jaccard indices. The richness of the San Javier Park was estimated to be 32 species distributed into 13 families and 21 genera. From the total number of species collected, a single one belongs to Caenogastropoda, while the rest of the species are classified into Pulmonata Stylommatophora and Systellommatophora. The most representative family was the micromol- lusc Charopidae, while the most relatively abundant species was another micromollusc snail, Adelopoma tucma. Richness and diversity were slightly more elevated in dry forest areas of the Chacoan Ecoregion than in cloud forest areas of Yungas. -
On Growth and Form of Irregular Coiled-Shell of a Terrestrial Snail: Plectostoma Concinnum (Fulton, 1901) (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Diplommatinidae)

However, little empirical data is available on the actual growth and form of shells, as these are hard to quantify and examine simultaneously. To address these issues, we studied the growth and form of a land snail that has an irregularly coiled and heavily ornamented shell–Plectostoma concinnum. The growth data were collected in a natural growth experiment and the actual form changes of the aperture during shell ontogeny were quantified. We used an ontogeny axis that allows data of growth and form to be ana- lysed simultaneously. Then, we examined the association between the growth and the form during three diVerent whorl growing phases, namely, the regular coiled spire Submitted 14 March 2014 phase, the transitional constriction phase, and the distortedly-coiled tuba phase. In Accepted 25 April 2014 addition, we also explored the association between growth rate and the switching Published 15 May 2014 between whorl growing mode and rib growing mode. -

Land Snail Diversity in Brazil

Salvador Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, New Zealand. E-mail: [email protected] Salvador R.B. (2019) Land snail diversity in Brazil. Strombus 25(1–2): 10–20. Abstract: Brazil is a megadiverse country for many (if not most) animal taxa, harboring a signifi- cant portion of Earth’s biodiversity. Still, the Brazilian land snail fauna is not that diverse at first sight, comprising around 700 native species. Most of these species were described by European and North American naturalists based on material obtained during 19th-century expeditions. Ear- ly 20th century malacologists, like Philadelphia-based Henry A. Pilsbry (1862–1957), also made remarkable contributions to the study of land snails in the country. From that point onwards, however, there was relatively little interest in Brazilian land snails until very recently. The last de- cade sparked a renewed enthusiasm in this branch of malacology, and over 50 new Brazilian spe- cies were revealed. An astounding portion of the known species (circa 45%) presently belongs to the superfamily Orthalicoidea, a group of mostly tree snails with typically large and colorful shells. It has thus been argued that the missing majority would be comprised of inconspicuous microgastropods that live in the undergrowth. In fact, several of the species discovered in the last decade belong to these “low-profile” groups and many come from scarcely studied regions or environments, such as caverns and islands. -

1. Field observation and laboratory observation We compiled all the data regarding the interaction between Plectostoma and its predators from our field observations conducted between October 2002 and January 2013 in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. Most of these observations were made during the day time. Whenever possible, field notes and photographs were taken when interactions between Plectostoma species and their predators were seen. We made five direct observations on the interactions between Plectostoma snails and their predators (Table S1). We found two Pteroptyx species larvae (Lampyridae) and an Atopos slug species (Rathouisiidae) attacking three Plectostoma species. Pteroptyx was seen to attack adult and juvenile Plectostoma snails by shell-apertural entry whereas Atopos were seen to attack adult Plectostoma snails by shell-drilling. Table S1.
