As a result, 3297 lots (one taxon from a single site/year) have been accessioned into the University of Alaska Museum. These specimens represent 152 genus-level, 303 species level identifications, and 20 taxa that could not be determined below the phylum or class level. All specimens were of adequate quality to be retained for further study The nearshore subtidal specimens represent a time series for 26 localities in Prince William Sound. Collections were made in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1995. Specimens were collected by divers from three depth ranges down to 20 meters, in eelgrass beds, Laminaria/Agarum (kelp) sites, and silled fjords. Seven species have apparently not been previously recorded in Prince William Sound. The two bivalve mollusks were fairly conspicuous, while the annelids and crustacea were small, and possibly easily overlooked in previous studies. This study adds some qualitative detail to results of earlier studies on the impacts of the Exxon Valdez oil spill on subtidal benthic communities in Prince William Sound. This valuable collection and its associated collecting will be included in a web-accessible database system (the University of Alaska Museum’s Arctic Archival Observatory) that assures their perpetual availability to the scientific community. Species–level determinations, particularly for animals that showed a response to the oil spill will aid in selecting indicator species for future monitoring studies. The physical specimens will be permanently available to assure accurate identifications. The data describing species distribution in the study areas will contribute detail to baseline monitoring. 1 Introduction This project has supported the acquisition and archiving in the University of Alaska Museum (UAM) of collections made by the University of Alaska School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences from nearshore subtidal environments of Prince William Sound. Collections made by the University of Alaska School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences represent an extensive survey of the invertebrate fauna of Prince William Sound (Jewett et al. 1995). This valuable collection and its associated collecting data have been included in a system that assures their perpetual availability to the scientific community. Objectives: The project's objectives are to: 1. Retain specimens and associated locality data collected as part of the Exxon Valdez oil spill studies from being lost. 2. Make information based on the specimens (that is, species composition and distribution of Prince William Sound and Gulf of Alaska marine invertebrate fauna ) available to stakeholders. Methods The nearshore subtidal specimens represent a time series for 26 localities in Prince William Sound. Collections were made in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1995. Specimens were collected by divers from three depths ranges, to a maximum of 20 meters, within eelgrass beds, Laminaria/Agarum (kelps), and silled fjords. For a detailed discussion of field methods, see Jewett et al. (1995) and Jewett and Dean (1997). Identification to genus and species level was accomplished at the University of Alaska School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, with additional taxonomic assistance from Nora Foster (mollusks); Leslie Harris, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and Jerry Kudenov , University of Alaska Anchorage (annelids); Ken Coyle, University of Alaska and John Chapman, Oregon State University (amphipods and cumaceans). The specimen archive consisted of 30 “banker’s boxes” containing alcohol-preserved specimens sorted by taxon and locality stored in vials within taped plastic bags. The physical condition of the specimens is excellent, locality and taxonomic information

E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: Samples of a soft-bottom community from the continental slope of Campos Basin, off southeast Brazil, were obtained between 2001 and 2003 by the Research Vessel “Astro-Garoupa” with a 0.25 m2 box corer or by dredging with a Charcot dredge. A total of 177 samples were taken at depths ranging from 700 to 1950 m. Mollusks were present at all of the stations and among Gastropoda the Turridae showed the highest diversity. Within the family Cochlespirinae we found: Leucosyrinx tenoceras (Dall, 1889), L. verrillii (Dall, 1881), expanding the known distribution of the latter species farther south, and L.? subgrundifera (Dall, 1888), which is the first record of this species for the South Atlantic and the shallowest depth at which it has ever been found. Within the family Drilliinae we found Splendrillia centimata (Dall, 1889), also the first record of this species for the South Atlantic and its shallowest depth. Within the subfamily Oenopotinae we describe here three new species in the genus Oenopota Mörch, 1852: O. seraphina n. sp., O. diabula n. sp. and O. carioca n. sp. Keywords: deep-water, Turridae, Leucosyrinx, Splendrillia, Oenopota, Southwestern Atlantic, Brazil.

BONFITTO1,3 & M. MORASSI2 1Dipartimento di Biologia evoluzionistica e sperimentale, via Selmi 3, 40126 Bologna, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] 2Via dei Musei 17, 25121 Brescia, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Introduction The examination of six specimens of a most peculiar sinistral turrid species from Taiwan housed at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle Paris (MNHN) led us to the recognition of a new species. These specimens resemble members of the Oenopotinae Bogdanov, 1987 recently placed in the Mangeliidae P. Fischer, 1883 (Bouchet et al., 2011; Puillandre et al., 2011). The distinct anal sinus and protoconch sculpture suggests it belongs to the genus Curtitoma Bartsch, 1941. Unfortunately, no living specimen of the present species is available for anatomical, molecular, and radular examination. Asami (1993) estimated that 99% of living Gastropod species are dextral. Most sinistral species are land and freshwater pulmonates. The discovery of this sinistral species is of particular interest as it is the first sinistral species reported in the family Mangeliidae. Material and methods The material studied originated from the TAIWAN 2004 expedition carried out as part of the Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos programme, a joint project of the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) and the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle Paris (MNHN). Descriptions and measurements are based on shells oriented in the traditional manner: spire up with the aperture facing the viewer.
