Manuscript received 23 January 2017, revised version accepted 14 March 2017 Based on the literature and on a massive collection of material, the fossil record of the Pteropoda, an important group of heterobranch marine, holoplanktic gastropods occurring from the late Cretaceous onwards, is broadly outlined. The vertical distribution of genera is illustrated in a range chart.

Ringiculid Bubble Snails Recovered As the Sister Group to Sea Slugs
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ringiculid bubble snails recovered as the sister group to sea slugs (Nudipleura) Received: 13 May 2016 Yasunori Kano1, Bastian Brenzinger2,3, Alexander Nützel4, Nerida G. Wilson5 & Accepted: 08 July 2016 Michael Schrödl2,3 Published: 08 August 2016 Euthyneuran gastropods represent one of the most diverse lineages in Mollusca (with over 30,000 species), play significant ecological roles in aquatic and terrestrial environments and affect many aspects of human life. However, our understanding of their evolutionary relationships remains incomplete due to missing data for key phylogenetic lineages. The present study integrates such a neglected, ancient snail family Ringiculidae into a molecular systematics of Euthyneura for the first time, and is supplemented by the first microanatomical data. Surprisingly, both molecular and morphological features present compelling evidence for the common ancestry of ringiculid snails with the highly dissimilar Nudipleura—the most species-rich and well-known taxon of sea slugs (nudibranchs and pleurobranchoids). A new taxon name Ringipleura is proposed here for these long-lost sisters, as one of three major euthyneuran clades with late Palaeozoic origins, along with Acteonacea (Acteonoidea + Rissoelloidea) and Tectipleura (Euopisthobranchia + Panpulmonata). The early Euthyneura are suggested to be at least temporary burrowers with a characteristic ‘bubble’ shell, hypertrophied foot and headshield as exemplified by many extant subtaxa with an infaunal mode of life, while the expansion of the mantle might have triggered the explosive Mesozoic radiation of the clade into diverse ecological niches. The traditional gastropod subclass Euthyneura is a highly diverse clade of snails and slugs with at least 30,000 living species1,2. -
The Ultrastructure of Spermatozoa and Spermiogenesis in Pyramidellid Gastropods, and Its Systematic Importance John M
HELGOLANDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol~inder Meeresunters. 42,303-318 (1988) The ultrastructure of spermatozoa and spermiogenesis in pyramidellid gastropods, and its systematic importance John M. Healy School of Biological Sciences (Zoology, A08), University of Sydney; 2006, New South Wales, Australia ABSTRACT: Ultrastructural observations on spermiogenesis and spermatozoa of selected pyramidellid gastropods (species of Turbonilla, ~gulina, Cingufina and Hinemoa) are presented. During spermatid development, the condensing nucleus becomes initially anterio-posteriorly com- pressed or sometimes cup-shaped. Concurrently, the acrosomal complex attaches to an electron- dense layer at the presumptive anterior pole of the nucleus, while at the opposite (posterior) pole of the nucleus a shallow invagination is formed to accommodate the centriolar derivative. Midpiece formation begins soon after these events have taken place, and involves the following processes: (1) the wrapping of individual mitochondria around the axoneme/coarse fibre complex; (2) later internal metamorphosis resulting in replacement of cristae by paracrystalline layers which envelope the matrix material; and (3) formation of a glycogen-filled helix within the mitochondrial derivative (via a secondary wrapping of mitochondria). Advanced stages of nuclear condensation {elongation, transformation of fibres into lamellae, subsequent compaction) and midpiece formation proceed within a microtubular sheath ('manchette'). Pyramidellid spermatozoa consist of an acrosomal complex (round -

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. -
Some Opisthobranchs from West Africa
SOME OPISTHOBRANCHS FROM WEST AFRICA BY KATHLEEN M. WHITE, Ph. D., M. Se. (Reading) 12 SOME OPISTHOBRANCHS FR OM WEST AFRICA The following report is based upon material submitted to me by the Director oi' the Institut Royal des 'Sciences Naturelles of Belgium whom I wish to thank for the opportunity of examining it. It comprises material eollected by the training-ship « Mercator » on lier 9th voyage in 1935-6, her llth voyage in 1936-7 and her 14th voyage in 1937-8. Additional specimens were eollected by the Belgian expédition to the South Atlantic in 1948-49 and from West Afriea in 1953. The région covered is the west coast of Africa from Bio de Oro in the north to Angola on the south, and it lies roughly between longitudes 17° West to 13° East and latitudes 26° North and 15° South. The depths extend from shore down to 50 fathoms. The Opisthobranchs of tliis région have received no attention. Collections from Morocco in the north have been reported upon bv A. Pruvot-Fol in 1927 and 1953 and bv J. Risbec in 1931. Collections from S. Africa have been described bv R. Bergh in 1908, K. H. Barnard in 1927, C. H. O'Donoghue in 1928 and N. B. Eales and H. Engel in 1935. References to these reports have heen made and to A. Vayssiere's accounts of the Mediterranean fauna publislied between 1865 and 1919. In all twenty-six species of Opisthobranchs have been recognised of which eighteen are previously described species, two are new varieties of know species and four appear to be new species. -
Nudibranchs of the Central Western Australian Coast
Nudibranchs of the Central Western Australian Coast Justine M. Arnold This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Marine Science with Honours at Murdoch University. October 2014 DECLARATION I declare that the work presented here is my own research conducted from March to October 2014, and has not been submitted for the award of any other degree at another tertiary institution. Justine Arnold October 2014 i ABSTRACT Nudibranchs are a diverse group of gastropod molluscs that are distributed around the world found inhabiting coral reef ecosystems. Baseline data on nudibranchs is lacking in the mid west region of Western Australia. Four sub-regions across the Midwest; Geraldton and the three groups at the Abrolhos Islands, the Easter Group, the Wallabi Group and the Pelsaert Group were the focus of nudibranch diversity surveys. Collection of quantitative information to establish a biogeographical baseline for the nudibranchs of this region was one of the main aims of this study. In total 89 dives were made over the duration of this study, with an average dive time of 30 minutes. A total of 296 individual nudibranchs were observed. The most abundant family found was Chromodorididae and Chromodoris westraliensis was the dominant species. Equal numbers of nudibranchs were found at shallow and deep sites, with depth found to not have a significant difference on nudibranch abundance or species abundance. Sub-region was suggested to be the predominant influence in nudibranch abundance and species richness. The probable cause for this is the influence from the Leeuwin Current and its effects on the habitat composition. -
(Gastropoda, Euthyneura), I. Amphibuliminae
BASTERIA 37: 51-56, 1973 Catalogue of Bulimulidae (Gastropoda, Euthyneura), I. Amphibuliminae A.S.H. Breure Utrecht INTRODUCTION The Bulimulidae constitute a relatively large family, mainly confined South At 144 and to America. present the family includes genera number of subgenera. The specific and subspecific names available is estimated at about 3000. The subdivision of the family into Bulimulinae, Amphibuliminae, Odontostominae and Orthalicinae Placostylinae, is mainly based on shell features. This sensu lato conception of the Bulimulidae, already held by Pilsbry (1895-1902) and Thiele (1929-1931), is also favoured the by present author. More recent authors, e.g., Zilch (1959-1960), have accorded family rank to the subfamilies, the Placostylinae except- ed. However, the differences between the subfamilies are comparatively the differ from Bulimulinae slight, e.g., Amphibuliminae seem to the in the and the free muscle only palleal organs retractor system (Van Mol, 1971). in The Amphibuliminae are my opinion entirely confined to South A in which America. few African genera are included this subfamily, may better be placed elsewhere. The genus Aillya Odhner, 1928, occurring in Cameroon (West Africa), is placed here by Odhner (1928) on account of the anatomy. Baker (1955) placed the Aillyidae in the Heterurethra, near the Succineidae. Another African genus included in the Amphibuliminae is Prestonella Connolly, 1929. It occurs in South and is unknown. Africa its anatomy Some Asiatic species, referred to this subfamily, are also excluded from the present catalogue. 52 BASTERIA, Vol. 37, No. 3-4, 1973 The classification of the following Amphibuliminae is mainly ac- cording to Zilch (1959-1960): Simpulopsis (Simpulopsis) Beck, 1837. -
