Keij words: Indian Ocean, \'olutidae, endemisni; cold water INTRODUCTION Only two species of volutes (Gastropoda, Volutidae) are presently known from Madagascar, both belonging to the genus Lt/iia Gray, 1847, and both occupying \eiv small ranges ;ilong the west coast of the island. Li/iia dclcsscr- tiaim (Petit de la Saussaye, 1842) is restricted to the northwestern coast, with all accurately localized records originating from the island of Nosy Be, while Lijria tu- learensis Cosel & Blocher, 1977 is restricted to the south- west, near Tulear [= Toliara, Toliary]. A 1000 km latitu- dinal gap separates the ranges of these two forms, which Poppe & Goto (1992) treat as geographical subspecies. Apart from one doubtful and unconfirmed record of Lijr- ia lijracfonnis (Swiiinson, 1821) from near Tulear (Poppe & Goto, 1992:72), no Lijria nor any other volute is known to occur on the coasts of Madagascar The new species described here has been obtained in the region of Fort- Dauphin as a byproduct of lobster and crab fishing using baited traps. The sheDs of the three kniown specimens were probably occupied by hermit crabs. The soft parts are not known. The depth where the specimens were captured is not known precisely, but based on local fishing habits it is very likely to be less than 100 m, and probably between 30 and 50 m.

Box 467 Wellington NEW ZEALAND bmceni@tepapa.govt.nz ABSTRACT Twent)'-nine species (17 new) of Solariellinae are recorded from the Norfolk Ridge, Three Kings Rise, Kermadec Ridge, and New Zealand. The species are referred to Solariella Wood, 1842 (10 species, 4 of which are new), Bathijinophila Dall, 1881 (3 new), Microgaza Dall, 1881 (1 ne-w),Archiminolia Ire- dale, 1929 (10, 6 new), and Zctcln Finlay, 1926 (5, 3 new). Zcminolia Finlav, 1926, is treated as a sviionynn of Solariella. Bathtpnophila Dall, 1881, is transferred from Margaritinae to Solariellinae on the basis of radular morphologv Etiialiopsis Schepman, 1908, is synonvinized with Bathijinophila. the shell of a paralectot\pe of Solariella {Ethaliopsis} callomphala Schepman, 1908, is illustrated, and a lectotype is designated for the species. Lamellitrochus Quinn, 1991, (based on a west- em Atlantic species) is regarded as a probable s\aionviii of Ze- tela. and the southern African species Solariella intennissn Thiele, 1925, and the North Atlantic species Trochiis (Marga- rita) rhina Watson, 1886 (= Solariella cincta sensu Dautzen- berg and Fischer, 1896, and Dautzenberg, 1927, not Philippi, 1836) are referred to Zetela. Se.xually dimorphic shell mor- phology in New Zealand Solariella species is discussed. Key words: Trochidae, Solariellinae, new taxa.

INTRODUCTION The trochid .subfamily Solariellinae has a cosmopolitan dis- tribution ii; siibhttoral to abyssal depths.

The sex- es are separate and some species brood within die piiUial cavity or the umbilicus. Whereas shell moiphology is ire- quendy litde different from that in Margaritinae and Um- boruinae and is interspecifically variable, the animal is dis- tinctive in having tentaculifonn processes on die snout and a short, broad radula with a low number of rows (ca. 20) of teeth; few, simple marginal teedi (6-10 pairs); and dis- tinctive central and lateral tooth morphology. The central and inner diree pairs of latenJs are short and stout with angulate cutting ;u-e;is (lateral 3 may have a reduced cutting area), and lateral 4 is elongate, curved, and typically lacks secondary cusps. Many species are further characterized by having die innennost pair of marginal teeth transfonned during ontogenesis into broad laterornarginal plates.

Remarks: Inteqiretation of groups of solarielline gen- era has been comphcated by the fact that the type spe- cies of Solariella (S. maculata Wood, 1842) is a Phocene fossil and because some Recent species that resemble it have adult radulae with lateromarginal plates, whereas other species lack them. One Recent species that bears a particularly close resemblance to S. maculata (Herbert. 1997, fig. 204-206) is S. cincta (Philippi, 1836) (Waren. 1993, fig. 2E, as S. inoptanda Locard, 1897 = S. cincta). the adult radula of which lacks lateromarginal plates (F. Rubio, pers. comm.). Another similar European species is Solariella aiiiabilis (Jeffreys, 1865) (figure 40). the adult radula ot which has broad lateromarginal plates (Waren, 1993. fig. 7B). Solariella amabilis (= Trochus ajftnis Friele, 1877) is the type species oi Machaeroplax, which has generally been inteqireted as a svnonym ol Solariella (Odliner,' 1912; Thiele, 1929; Marshall.' 1979; Quinn, 1979; Hickman and McLean, 1990; Waren, 1993; herein), although Herbert (1987) was more cautious in his approach. Waren (1990) has shovvai that solarielline lateromar- ginal plates appear during radular ontogenesis. He was unable to ascertain their origin, but it seems likely that they arise by progressive in-column transformation of ex- isting teeth such as the innermost pair of marginals rath- er than by intercalation (which among Trochoidea is known to occur only in calhostomatids). Whatever their origin, presence or absence in adults of lateromarginal plates, or degree of transformation of the teeth from which they apparently develop, cannot be used alone for separation of genera or subgenera, since radular onto- genesis will naturally be accelerated or retarded to vary- ing degrees from species to species. Whereas latero- marginal plate morphology in adults is infraspecificallv stable in all species examined, interspecifically the later- omarginal plate may be broad, short and bar-like, or the innermost marginals may be shortened with the cutting area weakened to varying degrees. These considerations led Waren (1993) to include the North Atlantic species Solariella obscura (Couthouy, 1838) and S. varicosa (Mighels and Adams, 1842) (Waren, 1993, fig. 4A, B, 6A-C) in Solariella together with S. amabilis, which they resemble in external anatomy but lack lateromarginal plates. Species with broad lateromarginal plates include the type species of Microgaza Dall, 1881, Spectamen Iredale. 1924 (? = Solariella), Zcmim^lia Finlay, 1926 ( = Solariella), Minolops Iredale. 1929 (? = Spectamen), and Archiminolia Iredale, 1929. Species with shortened or otherwise modified innermost marginal teeth include most species herein referred to Zctcla Finlav, 1926, Batluimophila Dall. 1881 (Waren, 1990, p. 180; figures 130, 131 herein), and the tvpe species of Siiavotrochus Dall, 1924, Hazuregtjra Shikama. 1962 (A. Waren. pers. comm.), and Lamellitroclms Quinn, 1991 (? = Zetcla). The type species of Zetcla, species of llanga Herbert, 1987, and Solariella varicosa and S. obscura have un- modified innermost marginal teeth. Herbert (1987) provided evidence to suggest that lo- cal phylogenetic radiations (notably llanga off southern Africa) are recognizable from features of both radular and epipothal moq)holog\-. Epipochal features include number and relative size of the epipodial tentacles, pres- ence or absence of flap-like projections (here termed epipodial lobes) from the epipodial fringe, and number of neck lobes. From observations of living specimens, Herbert (1987) recorded southern African species as having a tiny right postoptic tentacle, although I was im- able to detect such a structure in any solarieUines re- corded herein (preserved material). Herbert (1987. p. 295) reported the e.xistence of llanga species with four pairs of large epipodial tentacles in adults and three pairs in juveniles, which indicates that the number may in- crease during ontogenesis. One group (Zetcla) is distinc- tive in having four pairs of epipodial tentacles, the two middle pairs of which are typically much smaller than the others. Many other species (e. g., of Solariella sensii stricto and Spectamen) have three pairs of epipodial ten- tacles and a prominent epipochal lobe on each side be- tween the anterior pairs of tentacles. Judging from the fact that epipodial lobes have epipocUal sense organs at their bases (Herbert, 1987, fig. 118), they would seem to be modified epipodial tentacles, which in turn sug- gests that four pairs of tentacles is plesiomoq:)hic. Whether or not arrested development and/or transfor- mation of epipodial tentacles occurs during ontogenesis remains to be established. These considerations, togeth- er with the e.xistence in Archiminolia oleacea (Hedley and Petterd, 1906) of three right and four left epipodiiil tentacles and of three pairs in A. meridiana (Dell, 1953), both of which have very similar shells and radular mor- phologies, suggest that the number of epipodial tentacles has somewhat limited value for supraspecific grouping. Solarielline shell sculpture may be predominantly spi- ral or axial, or it may be reticulate. Most species have rather stable shell sculpture, though Solariella obscura is exceedingly variable, ranging from strongly reticulately sculptured to almost smooth (Waren, 1993). Whereas many species are strongly sculptured throughout, others become more or less smooth following an initial spirally sculptured stage. The latter include the type species of Microgaza. Bathi/mophila, Archiminolia, and llanga. The tvpe species of Suaiotrocluis is essentially smooth throughout. Species of Baflu/inophila are distinctive in that the umbilicus is covered by a thick callus with a granulate surface (produced by an internal layer of mi- nute calcareous spheres). There is strong convergence in shell shape and sculpture in the group. For example. Page 6 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 1 llanga biradiatula (Martens, 1902) and 7. laevissima (Martens, 1881) (Herbert, 1987) resemble species of Ar- chiminolia without umbilical septa in shell morj^hologv', whereas /. discus Herbert, 1987, resembles the t\pe spe- cies of Microgaza, yet they differ in radular moqihology and external anatomy (unknown in Microgaza). Although solarielhnes (or at least solarielline-like species) have been recorded from as early as the Late Cretaceous (Hickman and McLean, 1990) and undoubted solariel- lines are known from the Eocene (Maxwell, 1992), the fossil record of the group is poor, and there are no doc- umented lineages. Since it is thus impossible to establish character-state polarity, it seems likely that species in which the teleoconch becomes more or less smooth are derived from species with stronger, more persistent sculpture. Loss of sculpture, which presumably enhanc- es sediment penetration, has probably occurred repeat- edly in the group, almost certainly independently in So- lariella obscura, Microgaza/Bathyinophila/Archiminolia, llanga, and Suavotrochus. and quite possibly indepen- dently in Microgaza, Batlupiiopliila. and Archiininolia as well. Influenced bv the fact that most species with la- teromarginal plates (apomorphic) ha\'e three pairs of epipodial tentacles (apomorphic), whereas those without lateromarginal plates have four piiirs of epipodial ten- tacles (both plesiomoiphic), I consider the prime can- didate for a basal solarielline group to be Zctcia, all spe- cies of which have strong spiral and (especially) axial sculpture. Zetela species are strikingly similar to species of CaUiotropis Seguenza, 190.3 (Eucyclinae), and, in- deed, there are some similarities in external anatomy and radular morphology, the implication being that the groups have a common origin. In the absence of any firm exddence for degree of relatedness, I have avoided the use subgenera or to lump heavily, and I interpret Solariclla, Microgaza, Batliij- mophila, Suavotrochus, Zetela, Archiminolia, Hazure- gi/ra, and llanga as distinct genera. Solaiiclhi apparent!)' has a worldwide distribution, Microgaza western Atlantic and western Pacific, Bathi/mophila Atlantic and western Pacific, Suavotrochus western Atlantic, Zetela world- wide, Archiminolia western Pacific and possibly Indian Ocean, Hazurcgi/ra northwestern Pacific, and llanga In- dian Ocean and possibl)' western Pacific.

North Sea, 292-340 m. pers. obs.) has a broad right neck lobe, two smaller left neck lobes, three pairs of long, tapered epipodial tentacles, and a broad epi- podial lobe between the two anterior tentacles on each side. The animal is essentially similar to those of S. ob- scura and S. varicosa (Waren, 1993, fig. 4A, B). The animal and radula (Waren, 1993, fig. 7B) are verv' similar to those of Zeminolia plicatula (preserved material, pers. obs.) and southern African Spectamen species (Herbert, 1987, fig. 118; NB inl" and nil" are transposed in all illustrations of animals in this paper). Unfortunately the external anatomies of the type species of Spectatnen and Minolops remain unknown (all available animals dry). Whereas all of the southern species of Solariclla have lateromarginal plates, they mav be present or absent in North Atlantic species (see above). Spectamen philippensis and Zeminolia plicatula (fig- ures 1—4) differ principally from S maculata, S. amabilis (figure 40), and S cincta in haxang much weaker axial sculpture on the teleoconch. Zeminolia plicatula differs further by having bv having a wider umbilicus, a lower spire, sexually dimorphic shells, and by brooding its voung within the umbilicus. Among New Zealand taxa here refeiTed to Solariclla sensu stricto, however, there is rather fluid interspecific gradation between the ex- tremes in umbilical moiphology, spire length, and sculp- ture (figures 1-12, 15-39, 41-47). In the apparent ab- sence of any combination of character states bv which Solariclla and Zeminolia may be distinguished, it seems that Zeminolia should be treated as a synonym of Sola- riclla. All of the New Zealand species of Solariclla have a calcified periostracum (intritaciilx), as in Lamellitro- chus (Quinn, 1991), which is probably a synonym oi Ze- tela (see below). The type species of Minolops has unusually strong, crowded axial riblets on the teleoconch and is also dis- tinctive in having fine axial sculpture on the outer part of the first half whorl of the protoconch (Herbert, 1987, fig. 214). The a\i;d sculpture on the protoconch oi Mino- lops emendata is evidently teleoconch sculpture that has been predisplaced into the larval stage by a heterochron- ic process.

Remarks: Among New Zealand Solariclh species. S. plicatiila is ilistinctive in the combination of low spire, wide umbilicus, strong spiral cords on spire and base, and the color pattern of dull red sigmoidal bands on the spire and base. The mtritacaLx of this species resolves as B. A. Marshall, 1999 Page 9 ib° Figure 13. Map of Three Kings Islands and northern tip of North Island, New Zealand showing distiibntions of species of Solark'Ua (250 and 500 ni isobaths indicated): S. plicatiila (Mnrdocli and Suter) (A) and S. hilcola (Powell) (■). conspicuous, lodal lines when the shell is (naturally) lightly solution-etched (figure 3). SolaricUa plicattila is an umbilical brooder, specimens more than 2.5 mm wide ha\ing pronounced sexual di- morphism in shell size, shape and umbilicus moq)holog\- (figures 1-4). With increasing shell size, the umbilical rim in females becomes strongly angulate instead of re- maining weaklv angulate or exenlv rounded as in males, the spiral thread at the umbilical rim becomes stronger and higher, the mnbihcal wall becomes steeper and more weakly sculptured or essentially smooth, the shell becomes shghtly higher relative to its width, and the um- bilicus niav liecome narrower than in some males, though the volume (not measured) is greater because of the steeper wall and the produced rim: shell/umbihcus width ratio 1.70-2.30, mean = 2.08 (SD = 0.161, ii = 20) in females, and 1.70-2.40, mean = 2.03 (SD = 0.190, n = 20) in males. Females also attain larger size than males (largest seen 7.00 mm wide, as against 5.50 mm). Note that in the boreal Pacific species Margaritas vorticifenis (Dall, 1873), the onlv kniown trochid umbil- ical brooder other than the present SolaricUa species, the umbihcus is both wider and more voluminous in fe- males than in males (Lindberg and Dobberteen, 19S1; Lindberg, 1985). Dobberteen and Ellmore (1986) found that shell chmoq^hism in Mariiaritcs vorticifenis is ex- pressed even at the embiyonic stage, and although shell dimorphism is not obvious in specimens of S. plicattila less than 2.5 mm wide, it remains to be checked. In a sample ot 240 specimens more than 2.5 mm wide taken off Rangaunu Bay at 63 m depth (NMNZ M. 130750), the female: male ratio is 1.12:1. Specimens with yolk-y egg capsules (8 or 10) within the umbilicus were obtiiined during the months of December January (M.65151, M. 130067), and May (Havwird and Grace, 1981 - misidentified as S. vera), and shelled larvae oc- curred during December and February (M. 35115, M41401). TJie radula (figure 125) is t\pical of the genus, with liroad lateroniarginal plates. The jaw plates are extreme- ly thin, with very weak elements along the leading edge onl\-.

With the exception of a few specimens from the extreme south ol its range (see below). S. vera lacks the low, rounded axial pleats on the spire and base characteristic of S. plicatula. The protoconch in S. vera is typically white. rareK' pale \ell(jw. The first one t)r hvo teleoconch B, A, Marshall, 1999 Page 11 whorls may be yellow or white; subsequent whorls are tvpically white with narrow, widely spaced, pale red axial bands that are confined to the spire and do not extend bcN'ond the peripherv; the liands are tvpicallv alisent from a broad subsutural zone but do extend to the su- ture in a few specimens (e. g., M. 130065). A few spec- imens lack color bands. No specimens have been found brooding voung within the umbihcus, though from the size of the umbihcus, it mav also be an umbilical lirood- er. The shell appears to be sexually dimorphic, putative females ha\ing an angulate instead of rounded umbihcal rim bordered Ijy a considerably stronger spiral thread than in putative males (figures 5-7). Unlike S. plicatiila and S. lutcola, which have sex ratios of about 1:1, the ratio of putative females to males in S. vera would seem to be more than 18.4:1. Whether the five putative males are simply phenotspic \'ariants of females that otheiAvise happen to resemble males in shell morphology is un- clean Powell's (1979), Hayward and Grace's (1981), and Hickman's (1992) records of brooding in S. vera are based on misidentified specimens of S. plicatiila. The radula (figure 126) is typical of the genus, with rather narrow lateromarginal plates. The jaw plates are thin, with rather well-developed elements covering most of the central area from the leading edge almost to the back edge.

Distribution (Figure 13): Middlesex Bank, King Bank, Three Kings Islands, and off Cape Reinga, 88- 805 m; collected ahve at 98-202 m from comminuted bryozoan and shell substrata with sponges, hydroids, cor- als, etc. Remarks: Solaiiella hiteola is rather variable in sculp- ture, protoconch size, color and color pattern. The spire mav be sculptureil throughout with weak, crowded spiral threads, or all spirals other than a subsutural spirid may become obsolete on the second teleoconch whorl. The protoconch mav be white or chrome vellow and ranges in width from 500 to 620 |xm (mean = 560 jjim). The first teleoconch whorl m;i\ he chrome vellow or pinkish white, and subsequent whorls are either uniform white or pinkish white or pinkish buff with the addition of narrow, pale red sigmoidal axial bands that entirely tra- verse the whorls to the umbilical rim, extending onto the umbilicid wall in some specimens. Specimens from shallower than 200 meters are tvpicalK' the most strongly Page 12 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 1 sculptured and pigmented, whereas specimens from depths greater than 400 meters are tx-pically uniform white and weakK sculptured. The radula (figure 127) is closest to that of S. plica- tula, differing in having more broadly angulate cutting areas on the lateral teeth. The jaw plates are extremely thin, xvith weak elements covering the anterior third. S. hitcola broods its voung within the umbiUcus and has sexually dimorphic shells, shells of females having a more voluminous umbihcus with a flatter, steeper wall than males, and a more prominent spiral cord at the umbilical rim (figures 8-12). The umbifical rim is strong- ly angulated in both sexes, unlike S. pUcatiila in which this is a characteristic of females alone. One specimen examined had a shelled embrvo deep within the umbi- licus, and another had two (M. 13005.5), though to judge from the volume of the umbilicus, the number of young brooded at any one time is probably considerably greater than this. Compared with S. vera, which it most closelv resem- bles, S. luicola thffers in that spiral sculpture on the spire is more or less obsolete or consists of finer, closer, more numerous spiral threads, in that the protoconch is gen- erallv larger (mean = width 560 \x.m. cf 510 jim), and in that the color bands (when present) are more strongly sigmoidal and tra\'erse the spire and the base instead of only the spire. Solariella hitcola and S. vera have been taken together at se\'eral stations throughout their rang- es, living svmpatricallv at 221-206 meters depth on Mid- dlesex Bank (M. 130055, M. 130063). Specimens from the south side of the Johnson Trough (figure 13; M. 130092, M. 130058, M.93744, M. 130090, M.35915), between the Three Kings Islands and Cape Reinga, at- tain smaller size than northern shells, and a few of them have rounded axial folds, characteristics that are en- hanced to the southeast. Southern specimens with axial folds resemble S. plicatula. though thev are otherwise indistinguishable from northern populations of S. hitcola and they are not strictly moq^hologically intermediate.

Distribution (Figure 14): Off Three Kings Islands, and off Rangaunu Bay, 23-55 m, living at 42—46 m on gravel; dead shells on comminuted brvozoan/shell or shell substrata. Remarks: Solariella exigua most closely resembles S. plicatula and S. t era, differing from both in having finer, closer, more numerous spiral threads on the spire, a smaller protoconch (width 430-480 |i,m: mean = 462 (xm, cf 470-530 |xm: mean = 498 (xm and 500-530 \im: mean = 510 \i.m), and in attaining smaller size (maxi- mum width 4.60 mm, cf 7.00 mm and 5.20 mm). It differs further from both in showing no obvious sexual dimorphism in the shell. Etymology: Little (Latin).

Remarks: Solariella basilica resembles S. exigua in having crowded spiral threads on the spire and base but differs in having finer, more numerous threads at equiv- alent stages of shell growth, in attaining much larger size (ma.ximum width 8.90, cf 4.60 mm), in having a wider protoconch (600 |xm, cf 430—480 (xm) and a narrower umbiLcus (33-38% instead of 41-46%c of shell width), and in the last few teleoconch whorls being imiform white instead of axially banded. Solariella basilica differs from S. vera in having finer, more numerous spiral threads on the spire and base (basal spirals obsolete in S. vera). Empty shells of S. basilica occurred togedier with S. exigtta at the type locahts' and with S. vera at Middlesex Bank (M. 131481, M. 130064). Etymology: Roval (Greek).

Specimens from the ex- treme south of its range and many from extreme depths have stronger, more widelv spaced axial riblets than oth- er material but seem likely to be conspecific. The radula (figure 128) is tvpical of the genus, with rather narrow lateromarginal plates.

Tyjie species (by monotypy): Margarita (Batlujmophila) euspira Dall, 1881; Recent, At- lantic. Ethaliopsis Schepman, 1908: 51. T\pe species (bv monotypy): Solariclln lEtlwIiopsis) callomphala Schepman, 1908; Re- cent, Indonesia. Remarks: The radula of the tvpe species of Bathi/mo- pliilii is unknown, and Batlu/mi)plula has traditionally been referred to Margaritinae because the shell bears a general resemblance to species oi Margarifcs Gray, 1847 (Quinn, 1979). The tvpe species of Bathijmophila and B. bairdi (Dall, 1889) (Quinn, 1979, figs. 1-4) are closely similar to Ethaliopsis callomphala (Schepman, 1908) (figures 56, 57, 59) in gross shell fades. All three are distincti\'e in having spiral sculpture on the earliest te- leoconch whorls, subsequent teleoconch whorls smooth apart from (usually) a subsutural row of nodules, and the umbilicus filled bv a heavy callus with a granular surface and a small nodule near the abapical extremity. Bathij- mophila gravida new species appears to have exception- ally variable shell morphology and to encompass within its variation forms that are scarcely distinguishable from B. ciispira or B. bairdi in gross moqihology. The radula of B. gravida new species (figures 130, 131) is essentially similar to that of E. callomphala (Schepman, 1908, pi. 9, fig. 9) but is distinctive in having a flagellum-like pro- jection on the lateromarginal plate. Ethaliopsis is here treated as a svnonym of Bathijmophila, because there seems to be no way of justif)ing continued separation. The Bathijmophila radula is strongly similar to those of the t\pe species ni Microgaza (Marshall, 1979, fig. 9J- L) And Archiminolia (Herbert, 1987, fig. 209) but differs in that the lateromarginal plate is narrower and has a terminal flagellum-like projection. The animal of a paralectotyj^e of B. callomphala has unpigmented eyes (blind). On the right side is a rounded neck lobe, from which the eye stalk is not differentiated; and three epipodial tentacles, the anterior one broad with a rounded tip and projecting posteriorly from a broad membrane; middle tentacle posterior to a convo- luted membrane, smallest; posterior tentacle long and slender. Left side with ven' small eye stalk, two small, tapered neck lobes, and three large epipodial tentacles, the anteiior one separated from the posterior two by a broad epipodial lobe. The animals of the three other Bathi/mophila species examined (see below) are essen- tially similar, having a broad right neck lobe, two smaller left neck lobes, three well-developed pairs of epipodial tentacles, and a broad epipodial lobe between the two anterior pairs of tentacles. There is rather smooth transition in shell morphology between Bathi/viophila species and the type species of Archiminolia among representatives from the New Zea- iaittl region. For example, Archiminolia alabida (Mar- .' . '^ !9"9', A. tenuiseptiim new species, and A. diade- ■. snecies have the umbilicus covered by an ex- . ■ ■; ■■.<■ the inner lip as in Bathijmophila euspira, yet the covering is a thin, smooth, translucent septum rather than thick pad with a granular surface, and the shell is otherwise similar to the type species oi Archiminolia. On the other hand, some apparent forms of Bathipnophila gravida have an open umbificus at maturity and are thus extremely similar to Archiminolia species. Whereas there seems little doubt that Ethaliopsis is a synonym of Bathijmophila and that Bathijmophila and Archiminolia are closelv relatetl to Microgaza, 1 hesitate to suggest that Archiminolia is a synonym of Bathijmophila or Mi- crogaza or that Bathijmophila and Archiminolia might be more appropriate as subgenera of Microgaza. Be- cause of these uncertainties, I accept Bathipnophila, Mi- crogaza, and Archiminolia as discrete genera, defined as follows: Bathijmophila — high to low spire, narrow um- bilicus infilled by heavy callus with granular structure and with one or \^vo small bosses near base, some spe- cies with fine interstitial axial riblets on earh' teleoconch, lateromarginal plate (innermost marginal) with terminal flagellum; Microgaza — low spire, umbificus open and very wide, externallv bounded by rounded axial folds separated by incised grooves, no interstitial axial riblets on early teleoconch, lateromarginal plate broad and sim- ple; Archiminolia — high to moderate spire, narrow um- bificus open or covered by a thin septum, no interstitial axial riblets on early teleoconch though fold-like axial costae present in some species, lateromarginal plate broad and lacking terminal flagellum. Microgaza, Bathijmophila, and Archiminolia species are strikingly simflar to Solariclla niida (Dafl, 1896) (Hickman and McLean, 1990, fig. 72A, 75B), the smoother forms of S. obscitra (Couthouy, 1838) (Waren, 1993, fig. 5, 7), and some species of Ilanga Herbert, 1987 (Herbert, 1987) in shefl morphology, the radulae of which, however, lack lateromarginal plates (see re- marks on Solariclla). Besides the species discussed herein, the only other known members of Bathipnophila are Solariclla micans Dautzenberg and Fischer, 1896 (Waren, 1990, p. 180), from the northeastern Atlantic, and an unde.scribed western Adantic species (J.F. Quinn, pers. comm.). Bathijmophila gravida new species (Figures 50-53, 75, 130, 131) Description: Shell up to 16 mm wide, wider than high, rather thick and heavy, pofished, white, umbilicus filled by thick callus.

Teleoconch up to 5.3 whorls; first whorl convex, subsequent whorls weakly convex on spire and base, periphery evenly rounded, second and third whorls with narrow horizontal sutural ramp with angu- late rim. Spire on first 1.0-2.5 \yhorls sculptured with fine, similar spiral cords, and much finer, crowded in- terstitial axiiil riblets, 7 cords on first whorl, typically multiplying to 8-10 by intercalation, all spirals other than that at ramp rim weakening and vanishing together with riblets.

Distribution (Figure 75): Southern Norfolk Ridge and northern Three Kings Rise, 1082-1570 m, collected alive at 1137-1150 m (form A) and 1216-1385 m (form C) from rocky substrata with foraminiferal sand. Remarks: Batlu/iuophila gravida differs from the lec- totype (the specimen figured by Schepman here select- ed, ZMA 3.08.049, Siboga station 100, Sulu Sea, 450 m) and paralectotypes of B. callomphala (Schepman, 1908) principally in attiuning much larger size (maximum width 16 mm, cf 6.50 mm), and in having a smaller protoconch (width 350 |xm, cf 430 |xm). The shell of a paralectotype of B. caUomphala is illustrated here (fig- ures 56, 57, 59), and some features of the external anat- omy are described above. Four shell moqjhotvpes are present in the sample from NZOI station U601: form A (7 specimens, figures 50-53, includes type material) — width up to 16 mm (est.), lengtli/width ratio 0.72-0.88 (4 specimens), weakly convex spire whorls, two nodular subsutural spirals, one or two rows of nodules on inner base, smooth periphery, umbilicus infilled; form B (4 specimens, figures 54, 55) width up to 12 mm (est.), length/width ratio 0.88 (1 specimen), 1 nodular subsutural spiral, inner base smooth or with weak axially elongate notlules, periphery smooth, umbilicus infilled; form C (8 specimens) — width up to 12 mm, length/width ratio 0.82-0.92 (2 speci- mens), no subsutural or basal spirals or nodules, smooth periphen', umbilicus infilled in six specimens, open in two; form D (4 specimens) — width 14 mm, lengtlVwidth ratio 0.86 (1 specimen), no subsutural or basal spirals or nodules, smooth peripheiy, umbilicus open, early teleo- conch spirals also more persistent than in other forms. All other samples examined are form A shells with the exception of NZOI station U602, which comprises four form A and one form C with an infilled umbificus. The single shell from station U595 resembles ff)rni B but has no nodules on the subsutural spiral. The single shell from station U598 has no spiral cord or nodules on the base but otherwise resembles form A. Given the occurrence of additional variants at NZOI stations U602 and U598, and reports of similar variation in B. cuspira (Dall, 1881) by Jeffreys (1883) and Quinn (1979), I am not convinced that forms A-C represent distinct species. The status of form D is even less clear. Assuming that all specimens really are conspecific, ex- treme polymorphism may be due to one or more of se\- eral factors such as sexual dinioiphism, inflax of genetic material over time from remote sources, translocation from various depths, or differential Mayrian founder ef- fect on waxing and waning spatially and temporarily iso- lated populations. Most of the shells are old and friable to varying degrees and may have accimiulated in self- buffering calcareous secUments over hundreds or thou- sands of years. Form A, and forms B and C are strikingly similar respectively to B. hairdi (Dall, 1889), which is particularly \'ariable in sculpture, and B. cuspira. both of which have been collected in the Yucatan Channel at 1170 meters depth (Quinn, 1979), the implication being that the latter two may fikewise be forms of a single species.

Distribution (Figure 75): Norfolk Island, Wanganel- la Bank and off Three Kings Islands, 326-757 m (dead). Remarks: Bathijnwphila asphala differs from B. gra- vida in attaining smaller size (width up to ca. 8.2 mm, cf 16 mm), in having a smaller protoconch (width 350 \i,m. cf 430 jjLm), and in having two bosses instead of one near the base of the umbilical callus. Though very incomplete, the shell from off the Three Kings Islands resembles the tvpe material in protoconch size and sculpture of the umbilical callus. Etymology: Steadfast (Greek). Genus Archiminolia Iredale, 1929 Archiminolia Iredale, 1929: 170. Type species (by original des- ignation): Monilea oleacea Hedley and Petterd, 1906; Re- cent, eastern Australia. Remarks: As discussed above, Archiminolia species resemble species of Bathijmophila and Microgaza in gross shell and radular mor|:)hologv, differing from Bathijmophila species in diat the umbilicus is open or covered by a thin septum at maturity, in having a broad lateromarginal radular teeth without a terminal flagel- lum, and in having the rim of the inner fip smooth ratlier than granulate. They differ from Microgaza species in having a narrower umbilicus and a higher spire. The an- imal of the type species has a large left neck lobe and three large, tapered epipodial tentacles on the left side, a broad epipodial lobe between the bases of the two anterior tentacles, and a small flap in front of the ante- rior tentacle. On the right side are two small, tapered neck lobes, and four long, tapered epipodial tentacles. The radula of the tvpe species was illustrated by Herbert (1987, fig. 209). Apart from A. oleacea (Hedley and Petterd, 1906) and the species recorded below, other species apparentlv re- ferable to Archiminolia include Solaiiella zacallcs Mel- vill and Standen, 1903 (Persian Gulf); Solariella oliva- ceostrigata Schepman, 1908 and Solariella zacalloides Schepman, 1908 (Indonesia); and the southern Japanese species Microgaza fulgcns.

Distribution (Figure 75): North Three Kings Rise and Kermadec Ridge, 508-1385 m, collected aHve at 689-695 m. Remarks: Archiminolia alabida differs from all spe- cies oi Archimirwiia, other than two of the new species described below, in that the umbilicus is covered by a thin, translucent septum at maturity. It is transferred from Soloiiclla (Microgaza) to Archiminolia rather than to BatJujifiophila because the septum is thin and smooth instead of thick and more coarsely granulate and because the lateromarginal plates lack a terminal flagellum. A single broken shell from off Raoul Island, Kermadec Islands (Marshall, 1979, fig. 5A-C), certainly adult, is more strongly sculptured than the t\pe specimens and lacks an umbilical septum but is otherwise similar They may well be conspecific, because a similar degree of var- iation is exliibited by some other Archiminolia species. Archiminolia teniiiscptum new species (Figures 66-70, 75, 132) Description: Shell up to 17 mm wide, wider than high, rather thin, highlv polished and shpperv, umbilicus covered by thin septum. Protoconch and first 2.5 teleo- conch whorls translucent white; subsequent spire whorls pink with irregular darker a.xial bands and a narrow, white suprasutural band; base white, nacreous through translucent outer shell layer, inner lip and umbilical sep- tum white. Protoconch 430-450 |xm wide, sculptured with 2 fine, crisp spiral threads and minute granules, tip of apical fold broadly rounded. Teleoconch up to 5 con- vex whorls, suture channelled on first 3.5 whorls, chan- nel rim angulate, periphery strongly convex, base weakly convex. Spire sculptured with spiral threads and round- ed collabral a.xial folds. Spiral threads on first 3 spire whorls 6, weak or very weak, either vanishing early on fourth whorl or enlarging on third whorl, multipKing by intercalation and persisting throughout. Axial folds stron- gest abapicall}^ and coronating suture, gradually resoKing on second or third whorl, weakening on fourth whorl and vanishing early or late on fifth whorl, entirely tra- versing spire on second and tliird whorl or third and most of fourth whorl, thereafter increasingly evanescent abapicaliy until restricted to subsutural zone. Base at in- ner third with 6-oth angulations with rounded, ax- ially elongate nodules, angulations and nodules obsolete on last adult whorl; periphery rounded, base weakly con- vex. First few whorls sculptured with crisp, similar spiral lirae, 7 or 8 on spire, weakening and vanishing at end of second whorl.

Distribution (Figure 90): Off Great Barrier, Alder- men, and Mayor islands, 486-872 m, collected alive at 807-872 m from mud. Remark.s: This species is extremely distinctive in ha\'ing a suprasutural angulation on the spire whorls, rounded, axially elongate nodules on both the submedian and sub- sutural angulation, and rounded axial pleats on the inner base. The sculpture of the third teleoconch whorl (where sculpture is transitional from juvenile to adult) is unknown, the t)pe material comprising bxo jusenile par- atypes with 1.75 and 1.8 teleoconch whorls, and the adult holotype, the first three whorls of which are de- corticated. Etymology: Double (Greek), an allusion to the t\vo an- gulations on the spire.

Distribution (Figure 90): Wanganella Bank, Norfolk Ridge, 113-449 m, collected alive at 133 m from sub- stratum of white sand and rhodolith gravel with small red algae. Remarks: Archimiuolia wangancUica differs from the similar species A. dawsoui and A, regalis in protoconch size (width 470-480 |jLm, cf 330 fim and .500-530 [xm), and size relative to the number of whorls (width 8.60 mm, 4.6 TW, cf. 9.10 mm, 5.2 TW and 10.4 mm, 4.3 TW); it differs further from A. regalis in that the earhest teleoconch whorls are pale red instead of v ellow. Etymology: Named after the type locahty. Archiininolia dawsoni (Marshall, 1979) (Figure 81) Solariella (Microgaza) dawsoni Marshall 1979: .5.3.3, fig. .5D-F.

Su- perficially similar species from off the Three Kings Is- lands (A. regalis new species) and Wanganella Bank (A. wangancUica new .species) are described above. The pro- toconch of A. dawsoni is exceptionally small for the ge- nus (width .3-30 |j.m).

Distribution: Kermadec Ridge NE of Raoul Island, 145 m. Remarks: This species is transferred from Solariella (Microgaza) to Archiminolia because of its general re- semblance to the type species. As with A. datvsoni, the protoconch is unusualh' small among Archiminolia spe- cies from the southwestern Pacific (width 330 iJ-m). Genus Microgaza Dall, 1881 Microgaza Dall, 1881: 50. Tvpe species (by original designa- tion): Microgaza rotella I3all, 1881; Recent, West Indies. Remarks: As discussed above, species of Microgaza resemble Bathi/mophila and Arcliiminolia species but differ from Bathijmophila species in that the umbihcus does not become covered by a thick, granulate septum at maturity and have broad lateromarginal radular teeth without a terminal flagellum; species o{ Microgaza cUffer from both groups in having a wider umbilicus. The spe- cies described below is closer to the West Indian tvpe species in shell facies than to anv species here referred to Bathijmophila or Archiminolia. The only other named species known from outside the Caribbean is M. nava- kaensis Ladd, 1982, described from die Pleistocene of Santo, Vanuatu, which also occurs hving off southern New Caledonia (AMS C.328490, MNHN). I have ex- amined additional, unnamed species from off Western Austraha (AMS C. 170029) and off Crocker Island in the Arafura Sea (AMS C..328491). Microgaza noifolkcnsis new species (Figures 75, 104-106) Description: Shell up to 16.3 mm wide, wider than high, thin, widelv umbilicate, highK- polished. Proto- conch and first 2.5 teleoconch whorls white; next 1.5 whorls pinkish buff, last half whorl white with narrow, irregular wavy axial band on spire, base white. Proto- conch 400 |jLm wide, tip of apical fold broacUv rounded. Teleoconch up to 5 whorls, first 2 whorls stronglv con- vex, subsequent whorls more weaklv convex on spire and base, periphery' strongly convex. Spire on first 2 whorls sculptured with 6 crisp spiral threads, interspaces wider than each thread, rapicUv becoming obsolete thereafter; numerous fine, crowded, rounded spiral threads com- mencing on fourth whorl, crisp on spire and periphery, more weakly defined on base; low, rounded axial costae commencing about midway through second whorl, en- Hrelv traversing spire whorl at first, progressively enlarg- B. A. Marshall, 1999 Page 33 ing and becoming obsolete abapically to form siibsutural zone of rounded axial pleats, becoming olisolete on first half of third whorl or late on fourth whorl. Inner quarter of base and umbilical rim with close, rounded axial pleats separated bv grooves. Umbilical rim strongly angulate, surmountetl bv rounded spiral cord, umbilical wall even- ly and moderately convex, sculptured with crisp spiral lirae and coUabral growth lines. Umbilicus perspective to protoconch. Aperture ovate, lips thin at rim, weakly thickened within, simple. Animal unknown. Type material: Holotyi^e NZOI H685 and paratype NMNZ M. 131567, from t\pe locaht\, 30 Januaiy 1977, RA' Tangaroa (P45). Type locality: Off Norfolk Island, 2S°42.0'S, 167°57.8'E, 527-508 m. Distribution (Figure 75): Off Norfolk Island, 527- 508 m (dead). Remarks: Microgaza noifolkcnsis is strikingly similar to the tropical western Atlantic species Microgaza rotclla (Dall, 1881) in general facies but differs in attaining more than twice the size (width up to 16.3 mm, cf 6.80 mm), in having a larger protoconch (width 400 |xm, ct. 330-350 |j.m), in having a more broadly rounded pe- ripheiy, and in having stronger spiral lirae on the last adult whorl. Microgaza uavakacnsis Ladd, 1982, from the Pleistocene of Santo, Vanuatu, differs in lieing small- er relative to the numiier of whorls antl in ha\ing a color pattern of crowded, wavy axial bands (Ladd, 1982, pi 34, fig. 1-5). Genus Zctcia Finlay 1926 Zetela Finlay, 1926: .359. Type species (by original designation): Minolin textitis Mindoch and Siiter, 1906; Recent, New Zealand. ?Lnmi'IUtrochii.s Qninn. 1991: 81. T\pe species (by original des- ignation): Margarita Inincllosa \'errill and Smith, 1S80; Recent, eastern North America. Remarks: The tyjDe species of Zctcia is distinctive in having strong, reticulating spiral and axial sculpture and crisp granules on the teleoconch and in not having the innermost marginal modified to form a lateromarginal plate (figures 134-138). The animal of Zctcia tcxtili.s (presen'ed material, NMNZ M. 58797) has a broad, rounded neck lobe on the right side connected to the eyestalk, a tiny tentaculiform neck lobe below the left eyestalk, and four epipodial tentacles on each side, the anterior and posterior pairs long and slender, the middle pairs minute. The periostracum is apparently calcified (intritacalx) in all species, though as in Solariclla (short of examination of cross sections of fractured shells), its presence is only revealed bv the effects of solution etch- ing in a few species. The southern African species Solariclla iutcrnmsa Thiele, 1925 (Herbert, 1987, fig. 115— "ml" and "Inl" are transposed) and the closely related species Z. kopiia new species differ from Z. tcxtilis in haying an extra (posterior) neck lobe on the left side but are otherwise similar Like Z, tcxtili.s, both species lack lateromarginal plates in the radula, though unlike Z. tcxtili.s, the tooth that gives rise to it has a reduced cutting area. According to Quinn's (1991) composite description of the external anatomy, species of Lumcllitrochiis (^uinn, 1991, have Kvo left neck lobes and three epipodial tentacles on each side, the middle one long or short. The conchtion in the type species {Margarita lamello.sa Verrill and Smith, 1880) was not specified, though from studv of preserved material kindly lent by J.F. Quinn, there are actually four pairs of epipodial tcTitacles, the two middle pairs much smaller as in Z. tcxtili.s. All of these Atlantic species re- semble Z. tcxtili.s in having strong axial sculpture, at least on the earlv teleoconch, a protoconch with a bulbous tip antl fine spiral threads, and a teleoconch microsculpture of minute granules. The type species and most other species referred to Lamcllitrochii.s bv Quinn (1991) dif- fer markedly from Z. tcxtili.s in that the later spire whorls are more weakly convex and scidptured with three an- gulating primary spiral cords (abapical spiral more or less covered by succeeding whorls). Differences in shell mor- phology between L. lamcllo.su.s and Z. tcxtili.s, however, are bridged via L. fcnc.strafii.s Quinn, 1991, L. carinatit.s Quinn, 1991, L. hicoronatiis Quinn, 1991, and Zetela variabilis Dell, 1956. Since Lamcllitrochus and Zetela species also have similar external anatomies and radulae, it seems fikely that Lamcllitrochii.s is a synonym of Zc- tcla. A New Zealand Zetela species resembhng Atlantic Lamcllitrochus species is described below. The shells of Zetela tcxtili.s and Lamcllitrochus lamel- losus are similar to the affiui.s form (figure 40) and the holotvpe (Waren, 1993, fig. 2A), respectively, of Solari- clla amahilis (Jeffreys, 1865), in which, however, latenJ four is relatively larger and the innermost marginal has been transformed into a broad lateromarginal plate (Waren, 1993, fig. 7B), and there are three p;urs of sim- ilar epipodial tentacles and a rounded flap-like stnicture between the two anterior pairs of epipodial tentacles. As discussed above, S. amahilis apparently belongs in So- lariclla sensu stricto.

Despite the great differences between the e.xtremes (figures 112, 113), none of the differences are consta)it and it seems clear that all rep- resent a single highly polymorphic species.

Teleoconch up to 4.5 whorls, first whorl rather evenly convex; subsequent whorls with gently sloping su- tural ramp with strongly angulate rim, weakly conve.x above and below angulate peripheiy, umbilical rim an- gulate. Sculpttired with roimded spiral cords and narrow, more or less coUabral a.\ial riblets, rounded conical nod- ules at intersections. Earliest whorls eroded but with at least 4 spiral cords, spiral 2 (numbering abapically) be- coming obsolete on third whorl; cords on subsequent whorls numbering 3 on spire and 4 on base. Spire spirals at shoulder angulation, submedially and at peripheiy, strongly nodular; submedian and peripheral spirals strongest and similar, summit of peripheral spiral ex- posed on spire; basal spirals similar, more weakly nod- ular than spire spirals. Axial riblets traversing spire and base, evanescent within umbihcus, with increasing shell size increasing numbers intercalating between shoulder angulation and imibilical rim, so that munbcr of nodules on spirals between shoulder spiral and umliilical rim be- comes about 3 times greater than on shoulder spiral and umbilical rim. Umbihcus deep, funnel-shaped, angulate rim with strong, roundlv conical nodules; wail convex, sculptured with 3 spiral threads on outer part and axial riblets. Apeiture subcircular, lips thin at rim, weakly thickened within, inner lip with moderate mecUan an- gulation, separated from outer lip by strong basal an- gulation. Animal unknown (shell of holotype too fragile to risk extraction).

Type locality: E of Great Barrier Island, 36°12.0'S, 176°19.4'E, collected alive, 486-655 m. Distribution (Figure 91): Off Great Barrier Island, 486-655 (alive), in mud with foraminiferans and coral. Remarks: Zciela annectens is strikingly similar to western Atlantic species referred to LamcUitrochiis by Quinn (1991), from all of which it differs, however, in having only 4 spiral cords on the base and no secondarv* spiral sculpture on the last few adult whorls. Etymology: Linking, joining (Latin), an allusion to similarity to Western Atlantic species. Zetcla kopita new species (Figures 115, 116-124, 135, 136) Description: Shell up to 14.2 mm wide, slightlv wider than high, thin, rather narrowlv umbilicate, translucent white.

Distribution (Figure 124): Southern Lord Howe Rise, southern Norfolk Ridge, northern Three Kings Rise, southern Hikurangi Trench, and northern Bount\' Trough, 1186-2421 m, living at 1373-2328 m in mud and foraminiferal ooze. Remarks: Specimens from the Lord Howe Rise differ from specimens from southeastern New Zealand in hav- ing a submedian angulation on the spire, an angulate umbilical rim, and stronger, more widely spacetl a\ial costae on the early teleoconch whorls, on the subsutural zone on later whorls, and at the umbilical rim (figures 116-123). Specimens from 2417-2421 meters depth on the Lord Howe Rise differ from specimens from both southern New Zealand and shallower depths on the Lord Howe Rise (1186-1573 ni, figures 120-123) in hav- ing h\() low angulations that di\ide the spire whorls into thirds The single shell Irom the northern Three Kings Rise (figure 117) has an angulate umbilical rim, a weak supramedian angulation, an extremely weak submedian angulation, only a single spiral cord on the umbilical wall, and a larger protoconch (width 700 |xm, cf 600- 620 |xm) and considerabK' weaker avial costae on the early teleoconch whorls than in specimens from either Lord Howe Rise or southern New Zealand. The single incomplete shell from the southern Norfolk Ridge has evenly convex whorls, an angulate umbilical rim, and nu- merous spirals on the umbilical wall. Given the distances between Lord Howe Rise, northern Three Kings Rise and southeastern New Zealand and the fact that the populations are not significantK' isolated by bathvmetry, 1 am not conxanced that ilistinct species are involved and assume that the various forms are local populations of a single poKmorphic species and that nioqihologically and geographicalK- intermediate populations may eventually be discovered. Forms of Z. kopiia from the Lord Howe Rise are strikingly similar to Trochus (Margarita) rhina Watson, 1886 (.syntypes BMNH 1887.2.9.302-10), from bathyal and abvssal depths in the northeastern Atlantic, but T rhina differs in having a smaller protoconch (width 500 (xm, cf. 600-620 |xm) and a rounded angulation on die innbilical wall, against which the inner lip is much thick- er and roimdly angulate. Specimens of T rhina were well illustrated by Dautzenherg and Fischer (1896, pi. 20, fig. 15-17) and Dautzenberg (1927, pi. 5, fig. .35- 37), who misidentified them as SoIaiicUa cincta (Philip- pi, 1836), an entirely different species (Waren, 1993, figs. B, C, E). Lord Howe Rise specimens are also sim- ilar to S. intcrmissa Thiele, 1925, from off southern Af- rica at 340-1280 meters depth (Herbert, 1987), but Lord Howe Rise and New Zealand specimens differ in having a larger protoconch (width 600-620 |xm, cf. 450- 500 |xm) and a thinner inner lip. Trochus rhina, S. in- tennissa, and Z. kopua obviously belong in the same spe- cies group. Other possible congeners are Solariclla de- licafa Dall, 1919 (holotyjx- u'SNM 205780- Kosuge, 1972, pi. 2, fig. 6) and similar northwestern Pacific spe- cies described by Bagirov (1995), all of which differ from Z. rhina, Z. intcrmissa, and Z. kopna. however, in that ittial riblets are not added bv intercalation between the subsutural zone and the umbilical rim and in other sculptural details. Bagirov (1995) did not describe the animals or illustrate the marginal teeth of his species but did state that all oi the marginal teeth are similar, so it would seem that they lack lateromarginal plates.

Teleoconch up to 4.0 whorls, strongly and rather evenly convex from suture on spire to suture within umbihcus. Sculptured with prominent crisp spiral cords that multipl\- bv intercala- tion and enlarge to resemble adjacent spirals, and weak coUabral a,\ial riblets, intersections with well-developed nodules after first whorl, nodules on spire roimdh' con- ical on second whorl, roundly conical or becoming fully rounded on next whorl: nodules on adult liase rounded B. A. Marshall, 1999 Page 41 and weaker than on spire, roundly conical and as strong as on spire on uniltilical wall. Spiral cords ninnbering 7 on first whorl, abapical spiral more or less covered by succeeding whorls, 10 on adult penultimate whorl, in- terspaces wider than each spiral. Axials fold-like on spire on first 1.5 whorls, thereafter almost obsolete on spire and base, though stronsj on umbilical wall. Umbilicus funnel-shaped, narrow within, rim evenly rounded, wall of last whorl evenly convex, strongly sculptured. Aper- ture subcircular, lips thin at riin, weakly thickened with- in, simple. Animal (alcohol, NZOI stn. S147) with broad, rounded right neck lobe and small tapered left neck lobe, 4 epipodial tentacles on each side, anterior and posterior pairs long and slender, middle pairs minute. Radula (figures 137. 138) with the formula ca. 6 + 4 + I + 4 + ca. 6. Central and lateral teeth stout with strongly flanged and grooved, interlocking bases, laterals 1-3 outwardly elongating but with cutting areas out- wardlv decreasino; in size, lateral 4 considerablv longer and with longer cutting area. Cutting areas narrowlv ta- pered, serrate on central tooth, outer edges (only) ser- rate on lateral teeth, terminal cusp on each strongest. Marginal teeth slender, terminal cusp very long and slen- der, below which up to 6 minute cusps, fewer on outer teeth.

Cerinn nllcni. and Cer- ion victor (Urocoptidae aiwl Ceriidae) are pulmonate gastro- pods from Cuba whose names were introduced solelv in plate captions. Although usually attributed to Torre, 1929, all four are Torre manuscript names introduced h\ Pilsbr\, 1929. Prob- lems with lectot)pe designations for these names are addressed as is the status of supposed type material in several U.S. mu- seums. Ket/ worcl.s: Pulmonata, Urocoptidae, Ceriidae, Tetrentodon. Pilsbrv, Torre, Cuba. INTRODUCTION During the preparation of the second part oi a t\pe cat- alog of mollusks in the American Museum of Natural Hi,stoiy (e.g., Boyko & Sage, 1996), questions arose about the ty{3e status of specimens of Urocoptis alleni (now placed in Tetrentodon. Urocoptidae), as well as Cerion paiicicostatuni, Cerion alleni, and Cerion victor (Ceriidae) and the authorship of those names. These names were introckiced in a plate caption in Tlie Nau- tilus (1929, 42(3), pi. 4; figure 1, herein), and, although attributed to [Carlos de la] Torre, we suspected they should be attributed to Henr)' A. Pilsbry, who was then editor of the journal. Although many authors continue to use the name Cerionidae Pilsbry, 1901, because of its long-standing usage, we use Ceriidae Fleming, 1818, as it is the technically correct form of the family name. Torre created manv manuscript names, as pointed out by Clench and Turner (1962:.3-4), who stated that "it is exceecUngK' luilortunate that Carlos de la Torre had giv- en actually hundreds of names to species or sub.species which were never described. Many Cuban collectors have sold or exchanged a vast number of specimens un- der these manuscript names." Pilsbiy (1929d:449) also noted one occasion when Torre stated that he had "gi\'en unpubhshed names " to species Pilsbn- had under study. Welch (1934), in naming Cerion ram.scleni, wrote "the e.xpected descriptioTi not being received from Dr. Torre, I am here describing it under his name." Also, a man- uscript catalog of landshells by M. K. Jacobson (1949- 1957: entr\- 8633) at AMNH Usts Urocoptis alleni as "Torre MS." Jacobson was knowledgeable about the tax- onnm\' of Cuban land snails, and his notation suggests that Pilsbiy used an unpublished Torre manuscript name for this species. The wherabouts of Torre's manuscript(s) containing these names, or if anv such manuscript ever existed, is unknown. Since the contents of the fype series in such cases can depend on who authored the names, we investigated further.

Page 44 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 2 AUTHORSHIP OF NAMES The question of authorship for Urocoptis alleni and the three "Torre" Ccrion species introduced in The Nautilus (1929, 42(3). pi. 4, figs. 7-13; figures 7-13, herein) ari.ses because no article by Torre appeared in volume 42 nl that journal. His name is not listed in the index to that volume or La Rocque's (1963) author index for the jour- nal. There is no indication that Torre was the author oi the plate captions otlier than his name appearing alter those of the species. The names were not marked as new nor described; only locality data were given. Partial descriptions of Urocoptis alleni were given by Pilsbry (1929c:141) and jauine and Torre (1972:1530), but no full description of the species has been published to date, presumably because the species is "muy carac- teristica, no pudiendo contnndirse con ningima otra" (Jaume and Torre, 1972:1530). A written description of Cerion victor was published bv (Jlench and Aguavn (1952:417, 419) and C. alleni has been described under three different synonymous names (see Clench, 1957: 133). Ccrion paiicicostatiini has not been described as such, although a subspecies, ('. p. luirrin^toni Agua\'o and Sanchez Roig, 1953, has been described (see Rich- ardson, 1992:78). However, these names are available from the original publication in The Nautilus (1929, 42(3), pi. 4, figs. 7-13) because ICZN Article 12(b)(7) allows names introduced before 1931 to be accompanied only by an ilhistratioTi. Cuban Caracolus illustrated on the same plate as the four taxa in (juestion (pi. 4, figs. 1-6, and figures 1-6, herein) were treated bv Pilsbrv ( 1929a) in tlie same issue of the journal, but lie did not mention the Urocoptis or Cerion species. In the next issue, ht)wever, Pilsbiy (1929c: 141), cited the figure of Urocoptis alleni, gave its radular formula and remarked on its similarity to U. plicata [= Tetrciitodon pliealiis (Pfeiffer, 1.S56)] and U. sealarina [= T. scalarina (Shuttleworth, 1852) |. Pilsbry's authorsliip pe material for these species is housed at ANSP; other material ilistributed by Torre to other collectors and mu- seums with identical manuscript names does not have type status as it was not examined bv Pilsbn,; nor was it spht from ANSP type lots based on the data from ANSP catalog books. Urocoptis alleni [Pilsbn, 1929] Type locahty: Pena Blanca, Sierra Anafe [near Gu- anajav, Pinar del Rio] Lectotype: ANSP 146901, bv subsequent designation of Baker (1963:221); figure 7 in Pilsbry (1929b) and herein. Paralectotypes: ANSP 400357, 85 specimens spfit from lectot\pe lot, which originallv had "25+ " speci- mens according to ANSP catalog. The specimens that Abbott (1989: 123) figured as "paratvpes" are fikelv part of this lot, as we kiiow of no other lot of this species (type or non-type) which contains this many specimens. Comments: Several other lots prevaously considered part of the type series (AMNH 154587; ANSP 167470, 220390; DMNH 135379, 147064; FMNH 75298, 92027, 103816: MCZ 247785, 79469) were collected by people other than Bermudez and/or Allen and were not part of the material Pilsbry examined. The species is currently placed in the genus Tetrentodoit Pilsbi-v, 1903, and is the tvpe species of the subgenus Anafeeoptis Jaume & Torre, 1972. Cerion alleni [Pilsbrv, 1929] Tvpe locality: Antilla, [Holguin Province], Oriente Lectotype: ANSP 146964, by subsequent designation of Baker (1963:206, as ANSP 146964a); figure 10 hi Pils- bn- (1929b) and herein. Paralectotypes: ANSP 400359, 3 specimens spht from lectoty[3e lot, which originallv had 4 specimens; lot includes specimen in figure 11 of Pilsbn' (1929b) and herein. Comments: We have examined USNM 346663 from the Bahamas, laiieled b\' Bartsch with this name and the status 'type, " and conclude that is not a tvpe specimen, nor even this taxon, but rather a homonvmous Bartsch manuscript name. Cerion paucicostatum [Pilsbiy, 1929] Type locality: Cape M;usi, [Guant;inamo Pnmnce, Oriente] Lectotype: ANSP 146965, by subsequent designation of Baker (1963:207, as ANSP 146655a): figure 8 hi Pils- bry (1929b) and herein. Paralectotypes: ANSP 400358, 1 specimen split from lectotvpe lot, which originalK' had 2 specimens; ANSP 146966, 2 specimens, inclucbng specimen in figure 9 of Pilsbn (1929b) and herein. C. B. Boyko and G. Rosenberg, 1999 Page 47 Comments: Specimens ironi Miller Hill, southern Eleuthera Island, Bahamas labeled "paratvpes" (e.g., FMNH 42323, 119727, 119777) are not part' of the t\pe series for this taxon, but are paratvpes of C paitcico- statitm Clench, 1934 (non [Pilsbry,' 1929]) (= C. indi- ammim Clench, 1934; see Clench,' 1957:149, 157; Rich- ard.son. 1992:51). Ccrion lUior [PiLslm-, 1929] Type locality: Caleta de Ovando, [Guantanamo Prov- ince], Oriente. [ANSP catalog adds "about 40 miles W of Punta de Maisi on the south coast."] Lectot>pe: ANSP 147406, by subsequent designation of Clench and Aguayo (1952:419, by inference of holotvpe); figure 13 in Pilsbiy (1929b) and herein. Paralectotypes: ANSP 400360, 2 specimens; ANSP 400361, 1 specimen, figure 12 in Pilsbn- (1929b) and herein; both lots spfit from the lectotvpe lot, which originally had 4 specimens. Comments: Baker (1963:207) independently designated ANSP 147406a (Pilsbn- 1929b, fig. 12) as lectotvpe. Clench and Aguavo's (1952) designation has priority, making Bakers invalid, and the specimen he designated is a paralectotvpe, now cataloged as ANSP 400361. The specimens of C. victor cited by Clench and Aguayo (1952), MCZ 128975 and 181758, as well as MCZ 181756, 181757, 192282, 192283 and ANSP 323229 have no original data labels and are not from the cited tyjDe locahty; thev are therefore not considered paralectotypes. Abbott (1989:72) figured a dozen "paratvpes" of C. victor, but, because no recognized paralectotvpe lot contains this manv specimens, they are also excluded from the type series and may be part of one of the above cited lots of excluded specimens.

BRAZIL lrsimone@usp.br ABSTRACT Anticorbula fluvintilis (H. Adams. 1860) is an enigmatic fresh- water bi\aKe not closelv related to the usual groups of fresh- water bivaK'es. Due to its rarit\' and conse(juent lack of spec- imens, the validit\' of the genus and species, their occurrence in the freshwater habitat, and even their existence, have been questioned. Other species of closely similar taxa are common in estuarine areas of northern and western South America. The familial allocation of Anticorbula has also been problematic. Specimens of A. fluviatilis (with soft parts) collected in the Amazon Basin including material from the t\pe localits' were examined, and the validity of the genus and species confirmed. A detailed description of the anatomv is provided as the foun- dation for future s\stematic comparisons. Diagnostic characters include possibly vestigial lithodesma, small foot with bvssus, mantle lobes almost entirely fused (with pedal and pallial ap- ertures only), lack of siphons, very large posterior retractor muscles of foot, stomach with ducts to digestive dix'erticula only on right side, and stvle sac separated from intestine The pres- ence of these characters suggests allocation within the famiK Lvonsiidae. but this familial allocation should reniam provi- sional until a better definition of the Lyonsiidae is made avail- able.

INTRODUCTION The Amazon Basin is a region of incomparable hiodi- versit)'; despite this, its freshwater and terrestrial mol- lusks are verj' poorly known. Unusual organisms are of- ten found, including die species re-described herein. Himclla fluviatilis, an unusual freshwater mussel col- lected in the Maraiion River, Peru, was described by H. Adams in 1860. The genus name Himella was pre-oc- cupied (Dallas, 1852, Insecta), and a new name was pro- posed, Anticorbula Dall, 1898, as subgenus of the ma- rine genus Corbula Bruguiere, 1797. Morrison (1943) described the genus Guianadcsma for an estuarine spe- cies, G. simiosum, from Guyana, which is verv similar to Anticorbula fluviatilis. The genera Anticorbula and Guianadcsma were considered synonyms of Ostomija Conrad. 1874 by at least Keen (1969), and Vaught (1989). However,' Nuttall (1990) pointed out that Osto- mi/a was a distinct ta.\on and considered Guianadcsma as valid, an opiTiion later shared b\' Leistikow and Jans- sen (1997). Nuttall (1990) also suggested the possible synonymy between Guianadcsma and Anticorbula. This latter author considered it as nomcn dubium based on lack of data on tvpes and substantiated locahts' data (p. 319). On the other hand. Nuttall did not explore further the differences or similarities between these two taxa. Although the Maranon Rix'er. type locaUty of A. flu- viatilis, is very cUstant and far removed inland from the eastern Amazon coasthne, most reported occurrences situate this and related species on estuarine and coastal areas (Altena, 1969, 1971; Morrison. 1993; Nuttall, 1990). These reports naturally bring into question whether these organisms actually occur in tnie fresh- water habitats. On the other hand. Adams did not show any doubts about the provenance of A. fluviatilis, and Pilsbrv' (1944) examined additional material from eastern Peru: Essequibo and CmhiI rivers, and even from Ma- ranon River itself. He also figtned some specimens of A. fluviatilis for the first time. Also addressing this ques- tion, Leistikow and Janssen (1997) published their find- ing of specimens identified as Guianadcsma sinuosum from Manaus, Brazil, a site located miilstream on the Amazon Basin. The family allocation of the above mentioned genera has also been inconsistent; some authors allocate them to Lyonsiidae (Pandoroidea) (Keen, 1969; Altena, 1971), other authors to CorbuLidae (Myoidea) (Pilsbry, 1944; Nuttall, 1990; Leistikow & Janssen, 1997). E.xcept for the schematic figure and a brief description of the soft parts of G. sinuosa (Morrison, 1943), no other anatomical data on South American freshwater and es- tuarine Konsiids has been published. The abo\^e men- tioned references dealt onh' with conchological and en- vironmental data. L. R. L. Simone, 1999 Page 49 The type specimens of A. fluviatilis have not been located (Altena, 1971:82: Nuttall, 199():29(); F. Naggs, pers. comni.), which precludes the resolution of the sys- tematic problems. A lot with preserxed specimens was collected bv a team of ichthyologists from the Museu de Zoologia in the Trombetas Ri\er, Para, Brazil (Amazon Basin), a freshwater localitx' well removed tr(jm the coast. The identification of these specimens as A. fluviatilis was at- tained upon examination of the hterature and compari- son with material from the t\pe localitv. The present detailed study of their moii")holog\ should help clarit\ the above mentioned conceptual problems and estabhsh the identity of the species. It should also provide the foundation for further comparative studies of specimens from other (mainly estuarine) areas. MATERIAL AND METHODS The specimens were initially preserved in 4% formalin and transferred to 70% ethanol. The dissection was con- ducted under a stereomicroscope, with the specimens immersed in water. Serial sections were made using standard histological techniques and stained with Mal- lory. All drawings were made with the aid of a camera lucida. The intestinal loops and other visceral stnictures were examined through dissections and serial sections. The SEM figures were obtained at the "Laboratorio de Microscopia Eletronica do Instituto de Biociencias da USP". The specimen presen'ation was not good enough to allow for a detailed examination of ciha; these are not showni in detail in the serial section figures (Figures 20- 22).

DISCUSSION The problematic allocation of the genus Anticorbula at the family level is mostly due to the poor systematic definitions of the relevant bivalve families; apparently there is no sound information (good diagnoses based on .svnapomoqihies) on each of the following families that Page 54 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 2 Figures 19-22.

Transversal section of ctenidium filaments at midhne, outer demibranch. Scale lines (21-22) = 0.1 mm. Histological sections (20-22): Mallorv stain, 5 (jim. would allow for the clear cut, indisputable allocation of Anticorhuh to any oi'them. As commented in the intro- duction, vanous authors have allocated this genus in the families Corbulidae (Myoidea) and Lyonsiidae (Pando- roidea), as well as some affinity with the Myidae (Myoi- dea), Hiatelloidea and Thraciidae (Pandoroidea) can also be demonstrated. The familial allocation oi Anticorbula to is not only a problem of nomenclatural nature. Not belonging to the most common freshwater groups such as Unionoida, Dreissenoidea and Corbiculoidea, Anticurbula seems to represent an independent invasion of the freshwater en- vironment. In present study, Auticorbula is provisioniilly allocated in the family Lyonsiidae. Such allocation is based on con- chological characters (outline, thick periostracum cov- ering inclusive the hinge, almost edentulous hinge, a projection of the mantle within ligament which can be a vestige of the hthodesma). On the other hand, anatom- ical studies on lyonsiids (Yonge, 1952; Thomas, 1993) have described animals with two ducts to the tligesti\e diverticula, fusion of the style sac with the intestine, and L. R. L. Simone, 1999 Page 55 a siiial] pair of posterior foot retractor muscles, all char- acters that clitler from those in Anticorbula. Aniicorbula is similar to members of Corbiculidae (Yonge, 1947) in having poor developed siphons and only one duct to disiestive diverticula. However, Anticorbula differs in hinge characters, in having a reduced foot with byssus, the presence of posterior foot retractor muscles and a st\le sac separated from intestine. Similarities with members of Thraciidae are overall shell shape, presence of a lithodesma in hgament and fusion of mantle edge (Morton, 1995). However, Anti- corbula differs m;iinlv in lacking developed siphons, in having onlv one duct to digestive diverticula, a separa- tion between style sac and intestine and by the byssus. Anticorbula is similar to members of Mvidae in having fusion of mantle edge and, at least of Cnjptonuja cali- fornica (Conrad) (ct. Yonge, 1951) in having not so de- veloped siphons and separation of st)le sac from intes- tine. It differs mainly in having a byssus, the reduction of the foot and the absence of hinge teeth. Based on data from the (Yonge, 1971), Anticorbula is similar to members of Hiatellidae in shell shape, in hav- ing thick periostracum, reduction of hinge teeth and of foot. In contrast, Anticorbula lacks siphons, has only one duct to digestive diverticula and separated style sac and intestine. The present lyonsiid attribution to Anticorbula is, then, provisional. All of the above mentioned families have estiiarine representatives and could perfectly in- clude Anticorbula and its related genera Guianadcsma and Ostomija. The shell of A. fluviatilis is very similar to that of Guianadcsma sinuosum (Morrison, 1943; Nuttall, 1990). The morphology of the soft parts of G. sinuosum is veiy superficially kTiown (Morrison, 1943:50-51, fig. 1), and is also similar to inner moq^hology of A. fluviatilis. Both species were not svnonvmvzed herein mainly due their different habitats (A fluviatilis. tnie freshwater; G. sin- uosum, low salinity, estuarine), and also due to the lack of a detailed anatomical study of this latter species.

Herein, we describe the egg capsule of the largest South American \oIute, Adelomelon beckii (Broderip, 18.36), and redescribe the egg capsule of A. ancilla (Lightfoot, 1786), two species that undergo direct de\elopinent. Adelomelon bec- kii produces single, conspicuous, large, globose, and hemi- spheric egg capsules that measure about .50 mm in basal di- ameter and 35 mm in height; egg capsules of A. beckii are found attached to scallop shells. The base of the egg capsule is round with a narrow (3 mm) margin. The number of em- bryos per egg capsule is 7-9. The internal yolume of the egg capsule is 30—35 nil. All studied material was at pre-hatching or hatching stages and no nurse eggs were present. Crawl-awa\" juyeniles have shells measuring between 16.0-18.6 mm length. The egg capsule of A. ancilla is o\al and flat, with a diameter of 27—46 mm. Egg capsules are never coyered bv a calcareous layer. They are generally attached to scallop shells. The number of embr\'os per capsule is 2-8 and no nurse eggs are present The eggs are about 65 |jim in diameter, the smallest among South American xolutids. and are surrounded b\- a \er\- dense fluid. The intemal volume of egg capsules is 2.5--4.0 ml. Hatch- lings are released as crawling ju\eniles with shells measuring 11.7-12.7 mm.

INTRODUCTION The egg capsules of relatheK^ few South American \'ol- utids have been described. Egg capsules of Adelomelon hrasiliana (Lamarck, 1811) were first described by dOrbignv (1846) and have been studied by De Mahieu et al (1974) and Penehaszadeh and De Mahieu (1976). It is the largest knowii unattached gastropod egg cap- sule, with an intemal volume of up to 140 ml (Figures 1-2). Other species of South American volutes for which egg capsules have been described are Zidona dufrcsnci (Donovan, 1823), Odoulocijinhiola maficllanica (Gmelin, 1791) (see Penehaszadeh anil De Mahieu, 1976), Vohita musica Linnaeus, 1758 (see Clench and Turner, 1970), and Vohita virc.sccns Lightfoot, 1786 (see Handel, 1976).

However, the egg capsules of all material of O. ma^ellanica examined consisted of an attached spher- ical case covered by a white external calcareous la\er. Adelomelon anciUa has an attached, \en' flat, expanded egg capsule ^Aith no calcareous wall. By re-evaluating old descriptions of South American volutids, we are able now to recognize that the egg cap- sules attributed bv Strebel (1906, figs. 10, 52, and 52a) to Adelomelon anciUa (as Valuta ancilla), are indeed the egg capsules of that species. However, Strebel also in- correctly assigned egg capsules of several other species, of different sizes and shapes, to this latter species. The early anecdotal description made bv Captiiin Duhaut- Cilly of the egg capsule of Odontociimbiola ma^cUanica from the Magellan Strait (and repeated by Lesson (1840)), "a round membrane, slightly convex, very sim- ilar to a watch cover glass", could verv well represent the egg capsule herein described for A. ancilla. The egg capsules of A. ancilla are indeed more similar to the egg capsules described for Zidona dufrcsnei than to those of O. magellanica (see Penchaszadeh and De Mahieu, 1976). The material assigned by Dall (1889) to O. nmgellan- ica does not agree with the shape or size of the egg capsules of this species as we know it. The capsules ex- amined by Dall lacked the external calcareous layer. Ac- cording to the shape, size, and number of embryos (2- 4), it is plausible that Dall (1944) had referred in this case to the egg capsules of Zidona dufrcsnei (as de- scribed by d'Orbign)', 1S46 and Penchaszadeh and De Mahieu, 1976). The egg capsules that Arnaud (1978) as- cribed to Hai'povoluta charcoti resembles those of Zi- dona dufrcsnei, and not those of O. magellanica. as Ar- naud suggested, probably following Dall's (1889) erro- neous identification of the species.

In addition to volk, alliumin, amino acids, and carbohydrates are consumed bv the embrvos. No nurse eggs are present. South American members of the subfamilv Volutinae ap- parendy represent an exception to the above (e.g.. Val- uta virescens, Bandel, 1976). When the reproductive strategies of our stiid\' animals are compared to those described for volutids from West Africa and the Indo-Pacific, several major differences become apparent. The spawn in the genus Cijmhium Roding, 1798 (West Africa), following the description by Adans<.>n (1757) was at first thought to be viviparous. The spawn of tiiis species was later described by Marche- Marchad (ia68a, 1980) as consisting of one spherical egg capsule with very thin walls, measuring .3^ cm diameter and containing a very dense liquid (albumin). The de- veloping eggs measured around 100 [Lxn and up to 100,(X)0 nurse eggs, measuring in average 1.50 (xm were present. The egg capsules are brooded by the female in a "brooding sac" located on the foot. Hatchhngs are re- leased as veliconch larvae, their shell measuring 20-.50 mm (Marche-Marchad, 196Sa, 1980). The number of developing embryos is 4-46, depending on the species and the female size. The developmental time until hatching may be as long as 5 months. The Indo Pacific species Melo miltonis (Griffith and Pidgeon, 1834), M. umbilicata Broderip in Sowerbv I, 1826, M. ducalc (Lamarck,18Il), and M. mclo (Ught- foot, 1786) have been studied respectively bv Cotton (1937, 1944) Knudsen (1993), Man and Middleton (1946), Tokioka (1962), and Amio (1963). The spavm in all these species consists of egg masses, roughlv cvfin- drical, with a variable number of egg capsules spiraUv arranged. The egg mass in these different species have an empty, central space that is connected to the exterior bv a nimiber of fontanels between the bands of egg cap- sules. These egg masses are attached to hard substrata by a base and may reach large sizes (e.g., 20 cm in M. miltonis and 25 cm in M. ducalc). Onlv' a single embryo develops inside each capsule. The egg diameter and type of extra-emlirvonic nutrition have not been studied. Hatchlings are released as crawhng juveniles.

Wise Department of Malacologv' Houston Museum of Natural Science One Hermann Circle Drive Houston, TX 77030-1799 USA jwise@hmns.org ABSTRACT Henn/a inorrisoni Bartsch, 1947, originally assigned bv Bartsch (1947) to the famil>- Aclididae, is herein placed in the family Ebaiidae. Henrya nwrrisoni is a cryptic, minute gastropod pos- sessing a complex jaw apparatus. This apparatus, consisting of a single pair of elongate hooks, hook elements, and muscular base, is characteristic of the family Ebaiidae (e.g., Ebola niti- dissima). The infaunal H inorrisoni is a simultaneous her- maphrodite, with sperm nioqihology typical of basal hetero- branch gastropods. The tamiK' Ebaiidae is a sister taxon of the Pxraniidellidae, superfamiK P\ raniidelloidea. Key words: Anatomy, fimctional moqihology, systematics, Pyr- amidelloidea, Heterostropha INTRODUCTION In 1994, Waren assigned the extant genera Ebala Grav, 1847, Hcnn/a Bartsch, 1947, Murchisonella Mcirch, 1S75, and the fossil genus Donaldina Knight, 19.3.3 to his then newly named family Ebaiidae. Pre\iously, these taxa were placed in AcUdidae and Pyramidellidae solely on the basis of shell characters. Waren (1994) demon- strated that, unlike pvramidellids, which possess a very diagnostic buccal st\let (Maas, 1965; Wise, 1996), these snails possess a comple.x jaw apparatus. Recent Euro- pean species of Ebaiidae live in shallow-water lagoons, estuaries, and seagrass beds (Waren, 1994). Our understanding of ebahd hie histon- is limited to a single species. Rasmussen (1944) described and illus- trated the egg capsules, embryonic development, and vehger larval stage of E. nitidi.ssiina (Montagu, 1803), from specimens that he collected at Isefjord (Sealand), Denmark in 5-7 m (see Rasmussen for list of other Eu- ropean locahties). This species, which is usually found in association with Zostcra beds, is very abundant during its spawiiing season (May-June). Thorson (1946) de- scribed the sinistral, planorbiform larval shells of E. ni- tidissima, as well as the external moipholog)' of its ve- liger larva. Healy (1993) examined the sperm morphol- ogy of E niiidissima and determined that its nucleus is elongate, strongly keeled, and almost completely pene- trated by the axoneme/coarse fiber complex. In contrast, members of the Pyramidellidae have a short nucleus, with one (jr more strong helical keels and a shallow basal invagination, which cont;iins only the centriolar deriva- tive and proximal portion of the axoneme/coarse fiber complex. Huber (1993) examined the neivous system of E. nitidi.ssiina (then assigned to the familv Pyramidelli- dae) and determined that it is significantK- different from the other pyramideUids he investigated. The eyes of E. nitidissima, unfike those of pvramideUids, are attached to the cerebral ganglion by the optic nerves. These and other differences in their respective ner\'ous systems (Hiiber, 1993) and sperm moiphologs' (Healv, 1993) fur- ther suppcjrt the separation of Ebahdae and Pyramidel- lidae. J. P. E. Morrison collected specimens of Henrya mor- risoni from the drift line off a "mangrove swamp" on Shell Key, off St. Petersburg, Florida in April, 1936. Subsequently, this species was named and assigned to the Aclichdae by Bartsch in 1947. Bartsch described the shell of the new species as very minute, pupoid, very slender, and milky white, with its nucleus consisting of a single, strongly rounded, hyahne whorl forming a very blunt apex. Postnuclear whorls were characterized as high between summit and suture, strongly rounded, and marked h\ conspicuous growth lines. See discussion on Bartsch's reasons for assigning this taxon to this family under Taxonomic Remarks below. This study was undertaken to provide insight into the moq^hology and systematic position of Henrya morri- MATERIAL AND METHODS The author (see HMNS material below) collected spec- imens ot Hcnnja morrisoni. Samples of the top 5-15 cm of mostly mud substratum were sieved through a 0.5 mm sieve, rinsed with seawater, and the remaining frac- ticMi sorted under a dissecting microscope. Snails were kept ah\e in small bowls of aerated seawater. J. B. Wise, 1999, 1999 Page 65 Figures 1-8. Scanning electron microphotogruphs of shell and operculum of Hciin/n morrisoni. 1.

Whole animals and/or their ahmentar)' and reproduction systems (after excision) were stained with toluidine blue. Line drawings were produced vmder a dissecting micnjscope equipped with draw- ing tube. Scanning Electron Microscopy Opercula and shells were cleaned bv sonication, air- dried, coated with gold-palladium, and examined under Selectron 250 or JEOL JSM-6100 scanning electron mi- croscopes operating at .5-10 KEV.

SYSTEMATICS Subclass Heterobranchia Grav, 1840 Superiamily Pyramidelloidea Gray, 1840 FamiK- Ebalidae Waren, 1994 Taxonomic remarks: Van Aartsen (1995) has argued that the names Ebala Gray, 1847 and Ebalidae Waren, 1994 are una\'ailable and/or in\alid. He contended that the names Anisocijcla Monterosato, 1880 and Anisocy- chdae van Aartsen, 1995 should be used instead. Van Aartsen also stated that "even if one considers Ebola Grav, 1847 (not of Leach) a new genus as of November, 1847 [Gray, 1847b], it is still a junior honionvm of Ebola Leach in Gray, October, 1847 [Gray 1847a], and there- fore cannot be used." This however is incorrect as the name was introduced in sviionvinv in October 1847 and unavailable names do not enter into homonvmy (ICZN, 1985, Article 54). As outhned by Waren (1994), the ge- nus Ebola should date from Gray (1847b) with the t\^e species as Turbo nitidissima Montagu, 1803. Mr P. K. Tubbs, Secretarv^ of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) (Waren, pers. comm.), confirmed this conclusion. Waren (1994) further dem- onstrated that AnisocijcJa Monterosato, 1880 is a re- placement name for Aciculina Deshayes, 1862. Recentlw Le Renard (1998) discussed the \arious uses of the names Ebola and Anisocijcla and concluded that the later should be used, following van Aartsens's inter- pretation of Grav (1847b). It is beyond the intended scope of this paper to delve into the problems arising from Cray's work. It should be sufficient to state that I consider both Ebalo and Ebalidae to be valid names as demonstrated by Waren (1994). As the Secretary of the ICZN has endorsed this position, anvone in disagree- ment should petition the ICZN for adoption of his or her \iews. In addition, various ebahd species (e.g., Ebala nitidis- sima) have been placed in the family PvTamidellidae and tvpically assigned to the genera Euliniella or Anisocijcla (Rasmussen, 1944; Thorson, 1946; Wilke and van Aart- sen, 1998). The status and systematic position of Euli- mella has not been examined as part of this study. Hcnri/a Bartsch, 1947 Tjpe species; Hcnrifa lienn/i Bartsch, 1947, by origi- nal designation. Taxonomic remarks: Bartsch (1947) erected the genus Henn/a to which he assigned the new species hcnnji, ^oldmani, and morrisoni (respective type localities: San Salvador, Bahama Islands; Progresso, Yucatan, Mexico; and Florida [see above]). Essentially, he separated these taxa using interspecific differences in shell diameter Bartsch placed them in the family Aclididae because of J. B. Wise, 1999, 1999 Paee 67 13 Figures 10-15.

Protnisible penis extends from body through medial opening ventral to mentum. Vas defer- ens not observed. Egg and larval development unknown. CONCLUSIONS The infaunal and diminutive snail Henri/a morrisotii in- habits the tidal marshes of southern Florida. It was first described from its shell onlv by Bartsch (1947) who as- signed the species to the family Aclididae. The present findings, when compared with those of Waren (1994; pers. comm.) and Rasmussen (1944), indicates that this species should be reassigned to the familv' Ebalidae War- en, 1994. This species, like those described by Waren (1994), have a diagnostic jaw apparatus. Its jaw, consist- ing of a single pair of hooks, supporting elements, and a muscular base, is similar to that of E. ititidissiiiia. Moreover, the external anatomy (e.g., tentacle shape, mentum configuration, anterior alimentary tract delin- eated by black stripe, etc.) of H. morhsoni closelv re- sembles that of E. nitidissima (Rasmussen, 1944). Con- sequently, the allocation of this taxon to the familv Ebal- idae is unequivocal. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Robert Bullock for calling my attention to these snails and for disclosing their location. I am grateful to Dr. John Hicks and Mr. Jim Barrish of the Texas Children's Hospital, Houston. Texas for SEM time and darkroom expertise. I also thank Dr A. Waren for providing his thoughts on this matter and his unpub- lished data. Mr Richard Petit provided very useful in- sight into the nomenclatural confusion concerning ge- neric and familial names. The critical comments of the anonvmous reviewers improved this manuscript. Lastlv, none of this would have been possible without Dr. M. Rice and her staff at the Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce, Florida This paper is Smithsonian Marine Station Contribution no. 477. LITERATURE CITED Aartseii, ]. J. van. 1995.

Uni- versitv of Tennessee Press, Knowalle. xii, 1-32S, 133 pis, 130 maps. In the arena (if s\steniatic re\isions and fauna! re- views, freshwater nialacolog)' has always been behind the marine malacological community for several decades or more. The pioneerina; studies of Ortmann in Pennsyl- vania were fitfulK followed bv similar works on Missouri, Indiana, and a paltw tew other states. It is only very recently that monographic-scope works on freshwater mussels have finally come into their own. This book brings freshwater malacologv into the same league as marine malacologv. One of the quirks of freshwater malacology is its in- sistence to cover not a meaningful biogeographic region such as the Holarctic, or the Ohio River basin, but the meaningless arbitran^ unit of The State, no matter whether a large state (Texas) or a small one (Vermont) is concerned. This cycle seems unalterable, as nearly all of the most recent works have been at the state level, and nearh' all planned ones will be as well. Parmalee and Bogan's book is no exception; it deals with Tennes- see. But here it fares better than most because of the nature of the state's boundaries. Within Tennessee is a portion of the Mississippi Ri\er, with all of its big river and bayou taxa. More irnportantlv Tennessee is located predominantly in the Tennessee and Cumberland River basins — those wonderfullv diverse svstems that have el- ements of the Ohio River fauna plus numerous endem- ics. Finallv, tucked in the southeastern comer is the Conasauga River, a lone portion of the Mobile River sys- tem, with its very unique fauna. As such, Tennessee has (or had) within its borders nearly half of all of the rec- ognized unionoid ta.xa in North America. For this reason, this book is useful far outside of the boundaries of the State of Tennessee. There is a lot to like about this book. As with many malacological works that emerged on the market in re- cent times, it has a colorful, appealing format catering to more than just professional malacologists. Intrcjduc- tor\' chapters range from adequate to excellent. The sec- tion on ecology is rather brief, and is concerned mainly with causes for mussel decline rather than the ecological requirements of the animals. However, the section on aboriginal exploitation is excellent and represents an as- pect of these animals often neglected in other works. A concise history of the classification of freshwater mussels provides a useful basis to understanding the svsteniatics of the group. Readers ahead) familiar with Dall, Bartsch, and Pilsbry are introduced to those other giants of American malacolog\-: Ortmann. Call, and Lea. The section on diversity is an excellent backdrop to the book, bringing together information on the hydrologv', topog- raphy, and biogeographv of the Tennessee river svstems. Most of the book is de\'oted to species accounts, which are mercifully arranged in alphabetical order of scientific names. Each species is represented by a small color plate that depicts both the inside and outside of the shell and that illustrates sexual dimorphism as well. Each species has its own dot distrilnition map with a smaller map indicating the total range of the species. Plates and maps are conxeniently arranged with the text to each species, rather than gathered in the back. The authors have la- boriousK' assembled priman' .s\iionymies that are backed by an extensive literature cited section. For each species, sections are included for distribution, description of the shell, life histoiv and ecolog\, and its legal status. Intro- duced Corbicida and Drcisscna are covered as well. For its size, errors are lew. Perhaps mv main criticism is with their use of type localities. For example, under ArcUlens confrago.sii.s (Sav, 1829) they give "Bavou Teche. " But Says original localities were the Wabash River (later emended bv Say to the "Fox River") and "New Orleans" (emended to "Bayou Teche"). By choos- ing Bayou Teche as "type locality," Parmalee and Bogan have restricted the tvjje localits' — but did they mean to do so? On sexeral occasions the authors ignore the type designations (and therefore the type locality designa- tions) made h\ other workers. For Pti/chobranchiis fa.s- ciolaris (Rafinesque, 1820), the authors give the t\pe lo- cality' as the Muskingum Ri\er, although the lectotype selected by Johnson and Baker (1973) is from the Ken- tuck"v River. Whether the authors have reason to doubt or ignore these designations is not stated. Although the authors describe each species, what is missing is a diagnosis that would allow separation of a species from its lookalikes. For example, several closely related taxa of Plciirobcma that have never been ade- quately differentiated are fotmd in the Conasauga River. Yet the authors only connuent that "it is nearly impos- sible to identify and separate many individuals." This is no help to the reader. The authors could ha\e greatly increased the worth of this book bv gi\ing the reader some simple guidelines lor differentiating each species. The svnonvniies are invaluable, but occasionalK' lack justification. Uniu nobilis Conrad, 1854, has recently been resurrected as a valid species. \et Parmalee and Bogan synonvniize it [in part] with Quadnda apicidata (Say, 1829). In view of the renewed intere.st in this spe- cies, some mention should have been made as to why they felt this course was correct. Similar unsupported .synonymies are found under Ellipfio arctata (Conrad, 1834) and Lampsdis altilis (Conrad, 1834), which prob- abl\ represent species complexes. Under Vdlosa iris (Lea, 1829) thev sviionvmize without comment Unio si- Page THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 2 mils Lea, 1838, which was recently resurrected and placed in Venustaconcha by Gordon (1995). Other S)n- onymies may leave the reader confused. Under Lamp- silis ahnipta (Sav, 1831) we find the name Unio orhi- ctilatus Hildreth, 1S28, which would seem to ha\'e pri- ority over Unio abniptits Say, 1831. But no explanation is given why Hildreth s name is not used (Hildreths specimen was actually Obovaria subrottinda (Rafin- esque, 1820), and the svnonvmv should read "Unio or- biculatiis ot authors, not Hildreth, 1828"). Despite these rather specific criticisms, this book rep- resents the state-of-the-art in freshwater malacological guides. Government agencies and consenation groups will embrace the maps and plates, and malacologists will continue to argue over the synonymies. This promises to be a landmark book in its field.

THE NAUTILUS 113(3):73-77, 1999 Page 73 Description of HaUotis fatui new species (Gastropoda: Vetigastropoda) from the tropical western Pacific D. L. Geiger Department of Biological Sciences University' of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 90089-0371 USA dgeiger@usc.edu ABSTRACT A new abalone species from the central Indo-Pacific is de- scribed. The species has been known for almost two decades and resulted in the introduction of a nomen nudum. The name is validated here as Halioti.s fatui Geiger (e.x--Rehder MS). The species is described from shell, radular, epipodial, and hvpo- branchial gland characters. It is most similar to and occurs in part of the range (Tonga, Solomon Islands, V'anuatu, and Ma- rianas Islands) of the highly variable Haliotis varia Linnaeus, 1758. It differs from this latter species, however, in its shell and epipodial characters. Key words: Abalone, Gastropoda, HalioHdae, Haliotis fatui new species, Indo-Pacific. INTRODUCTION Geiger (1998a) recently discus.sed all 200 species-level taxa and the 17 genus-le\'e! t;Lxa in the family Hahotidae Rafinesque, 1815. Most temperate species are fairly well known; some tropical species, however, pose problems in respect to their alpha t;Lxonomv. Geiger (1998b) dis- cussed the controversial taxon H. clathrata Lichtenstein, 1794 {non Reeve, 1846), for which Geiger and Stewart (1998) formulated Case 3036 now pending with the In- ternational Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Stewart and Geiger (1999) designated a lectotvpe for H crebri.'iculpta Sowerby, 1914, with a discussion on H. clathrata Reeve, 1846. Geiger and Groves (in press) re- view the fossil taxa including the few records from trop- ical regions. The study of tropical abalone is continued here with the introduction of a new species that has been knowii for almost two decades. A nomcn nudum had been introduced twice for this species under the epithet "fatui Rehder" (Anon., 1981) and "fatui Rheder [sic]. 1981?" (Ubaldi, 1993). Herein I clarify the system- atics of this species and vahdate the name. MATERIAL AND METHODS Depository collections: AMNH, American Museum ol Natural History, New York; ANSP, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; MHNG, Museum d'Histoire Na- turelle, Geneve; USNM, National Museum ot Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Studi/ of animals: Radula and epipodium were pre- pared as detailed in Geiger (1996) and Stewart and Geiger (1999). The terminology of radula parts of Hick- man (1981) and Geiger (1996) is adopted. SYSTEMATICS Order Vetigastropoda SaKdni-Plawen, 1980 Family Haliotidae Rafinesque. 1815 Genus Haliotis Linnaeus, 1758 Remarks: As discussed by Geiger (1996, 199Sa), there is currentK' no justification to subcb\ide the genus Hal- iotis scnsu lato into subgenera. Accordingly, the species described here is placed in that large genus. Further study of the family may eventually identify distinct clades worthy of ta-xonomic recognition, but this stage has not yet been reached. Haliotis fatui Geiger new species (Figures 1-7, 9-16) H varia subspecies — Kaicher (19S1: card no. 2902). H. s-picjdata fatui Rehder — Anon, (1981 ;7) {nomen nudum).

N. Lowe, 1924, 48.9 mm, 46.5 mm. Type locality: Mang Island, Northern Marianas. Distribution (Figure 16): Most specimens have been found on Tonga, with additional specimens stemming from the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and the Marianas Islands. An overall western-central Indo-Pacific distri- bution pattern seems to be emerging. From the little information available, the species seems to live in shal- low coral reef habitats, which is typical for tropical ab- alone species (Geiger, 1996; Stevyart & Geiger, 1999). Etymology: The name honors the collector of se\'eral specimens from Tonga, John H. Fatu. The proxisional name that has been associated with this species is vaU- dated, following the original intent of the late Dr. H. A. Rehderof the'uSNM.' Comparative remarks: The only species similar to H. fatui is H. varia Linnaeus, 1758. Haliotis varia is an ex- tremely variable species and it is likeK' that some spec- imens will not be separable from shell morphology alone. The comparison provided here is between a typ- ical H. fatui and a typical H. varia, i.e., the well-known green form of the latter species from the Philippine Is- lands. In H. varia the shell is more arched, usually heavi- er, and the knobs are more weakly developed than in H. fatui. The apertural lip is more ouhvardlv cur\'ed in H. varia. The holes in H. fatui tend to be smaller and more mnnerous, althouirh this last character is extremely var- Page 76 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 3 Figures 10-15.

The coloration of H. vaiia consists typically of some oblique, prosocUne, jagged flammules, in green tones, whereas in H. fatui, the distribution of pigment is rather blotchv with green and brown specimens being equalK repre- sented. The epipodium of H. fatui is devoid of dorsal (ir ven- tral tentacles (Figure 7), whereas these are prominent in H. varia (Figure 8). Both species share alternating larger elements, but this character is also shared with a number of other abalone species. The presence of hand- shaped elements in H. varia, as seen in H. unilatcralis Lamarck, 1822, and H clathrata Reeve (Geiger, 1996; Stewart and Geiger, 1999), distinguishes H. varia from H. fatui. The radula of the two species are very similar to each other, as well as to other tropical species such as H. unilatcralis (see Geiger, 1996), H. clathrata Reeve (see Stewart & Geiger, 1999), and H. asinina Linnaeus, 1758, and H. ovina Gmelin,1791 (see Chitramvong ct al, 1998). Chitramvong ei al. (1998) noted strong dif- ferences for lateral teeth 1 and 2 based on their fig. 3C. However, their fig. 3C does not agree with their figs 3A, 3B, and 3D, which show a very different and very typical lateral tooth 1. Overall, these results corroborate indi- cations that radular characters better define taxa above the species level (Geiger, unpublished data). D. L. Geiger, 1999 Page 77 ^? % *v* --^ 1 ' ...

(1981), and Ubaldi (1993), both mentioned the taxon as nomina niida as discussed by Geiger (1998a: note 71). The mention by Anon. (1981:7) of "Haliotis spicidata Reeve, 1846" ac- tually refers to H. aepiculata Reeve, 1846, one of the many synonyms of H. varia (see Geiger, 1998a). Al- though most material available originates from Tonga, the Marianas Islands specimen is chosen as the holotvpe, because it is the sole specimen with the animal. The distribution of H. varia circumscribes that ot H. fatui: hence, I do not consider H. fatui a subspecies ot H. varia (of. Kaicher, 1981), because sympatric subspecies by def- inition do not exist. The specimen from USNM 702512 measuring 50.2 mm had been separated from the main lot by Rehder for designation as primary type; a handwritten label "Ho- lotype" accompanied the specimen. This original inten- tion of Rehder is here overridden. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks to Rave Germon, M. G.

FRANCE ABSTRACT The family Rissoidae, which is represented b\ man\' species in temperate European and Macaronesian shore and shelf fauna, is found to be also well represented in West Africa. Eighteen species are reported, of which 10 (7 Alvania, 2 Crisilla, 1 Ze- bina) are here described as new. Only 2 species are shared with the Western European fauna, and all the temperate lin- eages hnked to photophile algae or marine phanerogams (i.e., the genus Rissoa. and some lineages in Alvania) are missing in West Africa. Four (3 Alvania and 1 Crisilla) ot the shelf species with planktotrophic lar\ae are closeh' related to a planktotroph- ic species of \\'estem Europe, and tliis is tentati\'el\' interpreted as the result of breakup of formerly broader latitudinal ranges. Key words: ^^este^l Africa, new species, species diversitv. INTRODUCTION The Rissoidae are a prominent part of the httoral, shelf and upper bathval molkiscan faunas in the Mediterra- nean, temperate Western Europe and in the Atlantic ar- chipelagoes: Canary Islands (Moolenbeek and Faber, 1987; Moolenbeek and Hoenselaar, 1989), Madeira (Watson, 1873), Azores (Dautzenberg, 1889; Gofas, 1990). Pallary (1920) reported twenty species along the coast of Morocco, south of Cape Spartel, but the family is believed to become abruptK' impoverished further to the south. Nickles (1950) stated that there are 6 species in 3 genera for the whole of West Africa. Indi\idual spe- cies have later been described (Moolenbeek and Piers- ma, 1990; Rolan and Fernandes, 1990) but the general perception is still one of very low number of species. The holdings in the Mu.seum National d'Histoire Na- turelle of Paris (MNHN) include a large number of lots from West Africa, which shows that this perception is essentially a result of low sampHng efforts for small con- tinental shell species in the past. Eighteen species are represented, of which 10 are new and will be described herein, and 4 were described in the last decade.

Listings of material examined are arranged from North to South. The main sources of MNHN material are: Mal'rit.ani.\: shore collecting bv P. Bouchet in 1983, and dredgings by WV "N'Diago" bv B. Richer de Forges in 1981; Seneg.al: collections made by I. Marche-Marchad be- tween 1953 and 1956, mostly bv dredging from shore to ca. 250 m depth; some material collected by M. Pin or by K. Leung-Tak since 1980: I\'ORV Coast: dredging on the continental shelf by P. Le Loeuff; Angola: collecting h\ the author (dredging, shore col- lecting and snorkling) from 1981 to 1987, jointly widi the late F. Fernandes. The remainder of the West African coast has been very poorly sampled for micromollusks, so that apparent dis- junctions in the ranges are not supported by absence in a homogeneous sampling effort. Some of the Angolan material was sieved in seawater and partly sorted in situ, which allowed for preparation of drawings of the hxing animals. This proved particu- larly useful for observation of color patterns and dehcate stnictures such as pallial and metapodial tentacles, which Ponder (1985) scored as \en' informative taxonomic characters. Details about origin of the specimens ex- amined for descriptions of externid nioqihology are giv- en in the "material examined " section of each species. Specimens were measured with precision of 0.05 mm. Measurements of largest and smallest adult specimens or shells in each lot are given with material examined. Specimens selected for scanning electron microscopy were sonicated, and some washed in a 10% solution of sodium-lauPil sulphate. Particular attention has been given to protoconchs as taxonomic characters at the species level. Supraspecific classification follows Ponder (1985), except for change S.

Also on httoral algae from shore to subhttoral sites, and on deeper muddv bottoms on the continental shelf. Distribution: From northern Norway to Angola, and the Mechterranean. Unverified record from the Azores (Nordsieck, 1972). Remarks: This species is characterized bv a multispi- ral protf)conch (see \^'aren, 1996: 1042) with a small pro- toconch 1 of less than 1 whorl, and a protoconch 2 of sUghtly more than 2 whorls, suggesting that a long plank- totrophic stage is present. Nevertheless, the protoconch/ teleoconch transition is nsualK' extrenieK ilifficult to de- tect, even under scanning electron microscopv. It is in- dicated by a change over less than 1/4 of a whorl, from the extremely sinuous growth lines that correspond to the notches that accommodate the velar lobes of the lar\'a, to nearly axial growth lines formed after the velum is lost. The range of bathynnetric, geographic and moqiho- logical variation among West African PusiU'mo suggests that more than 1 species may be present. Individuals vary in shell morpholog)' and color pattern (ribs strong to fine to nearly absent; apex tinged or not with puiple, subopercular bar orange or yellow, yellow spots extend- ing or not onto the tentacles and foot). The habitat range is also too broad for what is usual in a single species: in algal wash in the lagoon of Bay of Mussulo, but also on muddv bottoms on the outer part of the continental shelf. Nevertheless, there are no stable combinations of characters and thus no convincing gromids for recogni- tion of more than 1 species at anv particular site. Mem- bers of the population found in lagoonal environments of Mussulo have multispiral protoconchs and do not dif- fer in this respect from open sea populations. Thus, there is no differentiation comparable to that of the Eu- ropean Pusillina liiwohita ( Midland, 1832) and P. incon- spiciia, the former clearly separated from the latter by 1 less protoconch whorl.

Habitat: On large tidal flats. Distribution: This species is knowii onlv from a small stretch ot the Mauritania coast. Remarks: The generic allocation is not inllv supported but the species is herein treated in its original binominal combination until characters of soft parts are made axail- able. The general shape of the shell, presence of spiral sculpture, and intertidal habitat are tvpical of Riulolpho- setia Monterosato, 1917 (t\pe species Tnuicatclla fii.sca Philippi, 1836; subsequent designation by Kobelt, 1878), a taxon which Ponder ( 1985) placed in the synonymy of Setia. Protoconch sculpture with strong spiral cords is a character shared with other species currentK placed in Alvania (e.g., Alvania pairula Jeffreys, illustrated in Go- fas and Waren, 1982; Alvania watsoni (Watson), Ponder, 1985, p. 151 fig. 102D); Setia pidchcrriina does have spiral microsculpture on the protoconch, but one of vei-y fine threads that look separated from the surface (Pon- der, 1985, p. 134 fig. 85G; Gofos, 1990, fig. 33). The teleoconch sculpture is also shared with some species of Alvania (e.g., A. paiviila, A. punctnra) and not with So- fia pu mlchenima, which shows only growth lines.

Distribution: Mauritania and Senegal; northern and southern Angola. The record from Cape Verde Islands needs confirmation. Remarks: This species mostlv resembles the Euro- pean species Alvania heani (Hanley, 1844), having same general outhne, type of teleoconch sculpture, multispiral protoconch, and colorless animal. The main differences are: (1) the protoconch is broader, with Hatter spire an- gle, the spiral cords near abapical suture of last proto- conch whorl are stronger, (2) teleoconch in average seems to be more slender, (3) the suprasutural cord on all spire whorls is overhangs the suture more conspicu- ously (juveniles look somewhat carinate), and (4) adults are smaller. The 2 species are not sympatric, but A. be- am is present with a apparently consistent range of varia- tion from the British isles to southern Morocco, then separated hy ca. 1000 km from the knovsni West African range of A. africana.

Institut Roval des Sciences Na- turelles, BrtLxelles; identified by Dautzenberg as Alvania cancellata (da Costa, 1778)). Habitat: On hard bottoms of rocks, coarse shell gra\el or (in the pro\'ince of Benguela), concretions of calcar- eous algae, 10-60 m; often found with A africana. Distribution: Mauritania and Senegal; hon Coast; northern and southern Angola. Etjinolog}-: This species is named after Mario ^Albano dos Santos, a friend from Mo^amedes, who owns there a crab fisher\^ and has hosted many of the collecting trips to Southern Angola. Remarks: This species resembles Alvania cancellata (da Costa. 1778) v\ith which it shares coarse sculpture and strong nodes on outer lip at the end of the abapical spiral cords. It is distinguished hv being smaller and more slender and having a different constniction of the most aliapical cord (the one nmning ne.xt to columella) (){ bod\ whorl, narrow and Ijeaded in A. inarioi, and onlv a massive concretion in A. cancellata. The citation by Dautzenberg (1913) of A. cancellata is based on specimens ot A. marioi (material examined at IftSN, Bnissels). Nickles (19.50) figured tnie A can- cellata (presmnably a specimen ol European origin) but included the species in his guide on the basis of "being found in Angola" (i.e., based on the record bv Daut- zenberg, 1913, as no further data on Angola were avail- able in 1950). Alvania venu.s (d'Orbignv, 1852), a well known fossil species from the Miocene of Aquitaine Basin, S\\' France, resemliles A. marioi. with which it shares die out- S. Gofas, 1999 Page 85 Figure 20. Alvnnia inarioi new species. Living animal (par- atvpe) from off Ilha de Luanda (Angola), shell length 2.7 mm. line and size, the kind of sculpture and the shouldered whorls with a cord at some distance from the suture. It is nevertheless distinguished by having a third cord ap- pearing on early teleoconch whorls This species may be confused with the Mediterranean A. hispidula Monterosato, 1S84 (figures 25-26), with which it shares similar proportions, pattern of reticula- tion, and protoconch. One of the consistent differences resides in the architecture of the subsutural area, shoul- dered in A. marioi, with a strong cord at some distance from the suture; sloping, with a small subsutural cord in A. hispidula. The abapical part of the body whorl is also produced differently: 2 shaip, neatk' beaded cords sep- arated by a deep depression and terminating with marked indentations on the outer lip and then a simple cord along the umbilical chink in A. inarioi; in A. his- pidtda the 2 cords are more roughlv irregularlv beaded, not so sharp, and weakly marked over the outer lip; the last small cords along the umbilical chink tend to be duphcated. The relationships of A. hispidula to coarse forms ("A. calathus Forbes and Hanley") of the A. hcaiii complex have yet to be documented. Alvania hiiia (Monterosato, 1884), a species with a restricted distri- bution in the southeastern part of the Western Medi- terranean, resembles this species in the architecture of the subsutural area, and in size and proportions. It dif- fers in having a paucispiral protoconch iind onK 2 cords on the penultimate whorl. Alvania flexdis new species (Figures 27-32) Description: Shell high conical, cyrtoconoid, moder- ately solid, adults 1.0X0.7 mm to 2.0X1.2 mm. Proto- conch of 2 to 2.2 convex whorls, first one sUghtly de- pressed; surface of lanal whorls (except for narrow sub- sutural band) with spiral hues made of closely set or con- tiguous small granules. Teleoconch of 2 to 3 whorls, with sculpture of thin, shaip, widelv spaced spiral cords su- perimposed on thin, sinuous axial ribs. Spire whorls have 1 cord running along adapical suture, second cord quite close to subsutural one, and suprasutural cord on abapical side, overhanging suture at some distance; spir;il cords are poorlv de\'eloped in beUv'een. One or 2 additional spir;il cords gradu;Jly appear in that internal on penultimate whorl, so that there are about 10 evenly spaced spiral cords on bod\ whorl. Axial ribs verv graduaJlv fade out on abapical part of bodv whorl. Ribs on bod\' whorl 1.5- 30. Outer lip opisthocline, widi thin edge and thickened externally at distance of edge by broad rim, superimposed by spiral cords; smooth and not thickened intem;illy. In- ner lip thin, bordering tiny umbilical chink. Shell color tawny with 2 very faint brownish bands, one over the 2 subsutural cords, other approximately at anterior 1/3 of body whorl, ending in a more intense blotch near edge of aperture.

Description: Shell high conical, solid, adults 1.5X1 mm to 2.1X1.3 mm. Protoconch with 2 convex whorls, first one slightly flattened on top; surface of larval whorls with pair of spiral lines, formed by slightly oblique seg- ments, at some distance from adapical suture, and clus- ter of other 2-3 such Unes near abapical suture. Teleo- conch with 2.2-2.8 whorls; spire whorls very convex, with strong, widely spaced axial folds (ca. 12-14 on pen- ultimate whorl) and strong spiral cords; intersections pointed; 3 cords on all spire whorls; adapical cord situ- ated at some distance from suture forming shoulder Spi- ral microsculpture of fine striae (ca. 40 between a pair of cords) visible under SEM, evenly set on cords and interspaces, and superimposed on axial folds. Bodv* whorl rounded, with 6 strong spiral cords and faint sev- enth cord just bordering umbilical chink; axial folds gradually fading toward periumliilical area; fifth cord separated from sixth one b\ slightK broader and deeper interspace, sixth cord smooth. Outer lip verv slightlv opisthochne, externally thickened by very strong rim that is strongly differentiated from adjacent external shell surface, terminating with clearly differentiated flat sur- face on apertural plane; superimposed externallv by spi- ral cords that terminate abruptly at edge of that surface; inner surface of aperture smooth, clearly chfferentiated from apertural edge. Inner lip slightlv thickened, nar- rowing towards small uniiiilical chink. Shell color whitish, with p;ile browmish liand on mid- dle part of spire whorls and another one on periumbilical area, not continued on aperture. Type material: Holotvpe (not seen) in MNCN, Ma- drid. Type locality: Off Ilha de Luanda (Angola), 50-100 Material examined: Senegal (coll. Marche-VIarchad): Off Goree 95 m, I specimen + 1 shell (1.8X1.2 to 2.1X1.3 mm); SVV of Cap Manuel, 2 shells.

Habitat: On rock^v areas of the outer shelf Di.stribution: Only kniowni from Senegal and from Northern Angola. Remarks: This species is very similar to the European A. zcilamlica (Montagu, 1815) and shares v\ith it the sculpture, microsculpture, and the pecuBar construction of the aperture v\dth a flat, beveled edge. This latter structure is not present in any other European of West African rissoid and seems unique. I agree with Mool- enbeek and Faber (1987) that this species should not be allocated to the genus Manzonia Brusina, 1870 (type species by original designation: Turbo costatus Adams, 1797 = T. crassus Kanmacher, 1798), and that Manzonia should include only species having pitted spiral micro- sculpture. Alvania fariai (Rolan and Femandes, 1990) (Figures 40-42) Manzonin fariai Rolan and Femandes, 1990: 64—65, pi. 1 figs. 4-6.

Habitat: On deeper part of shelf and upper part ot slope, bottom type unknown. Distribution: From the Saharan coast to Senegal. Etymology: The species is named after Igor Marche- Marchad, who has collected most of the Senegalese ma- terial studied herein and contributed much to the knowl- edge of West African mollusks. Remarks: This species resembles the Mediterranean species A. sitbareolata (Monterosato, 1869) (figures 48- 49 herein, specimen collected near the type localit)')- The main differences are that A. marchadi is larger, the spiral microsculptin^e is better defined, there is an ad- ditional cord on the broad shoulder of bodv whorl, the granules on protoconch are more clearly organized to form spiral cords, and it is whitish instead of brf)wn or banded. The length-width ratio is apparently suiprisingly vari- able, even within the same population, but this is not correlated with an\' (ither character which woukl suggest presence of more than 1 species. Ahania richcri new species (Figures 50-52) Description: Shell high conical, solid, adults 2.1X1.2 mm to 2.7X1,55 mm.

Habitat: On deeper part of shelf and upper part of slope, t\pe of bottom unknown. Distribution: Mauritania and Senegal. Remarks: This species is extremely similar to and lives sympatrically with A. marcliadi, a species with which it is easily confused. It is distinguished by absence of linear arrangement of minute granules on protoconch sin-face, vyhich appears smooth under stereomicroscope. The teleoconch ot A. richcri can be tlifferentiated b)- the more distinct umbihcal chink and by lack of an addi- tional cord on shoulder of last whorls. It is also similar to A. siibarcolata. Iiut differs in its larger size, stouter profile with a swollen subsutural area, and blunt teleo- conch sculpture. The species is named after Bertrand Richer de Forg- es, marine biologist at ORSTOM (the French goyern- ment's overseas research agency) and collector ot most of the Mauritanian material studied here.

Description: Shell high, conical, sohd, adults 2.1 X 1.2 mm to 2.75X1.55 mm. Protoconch with 1.3-1.5 con\ex whorls, globose; surface with 7 spiral flat cords, as broad as interspaces, formed by minute granules visible onlv under high magnification. Teleoconch with 4 whorls: spire whorls convex, with widely spaced, nearly vertical axial folds (ca. 16-18 on penultimate whorl) and spiral cords narrower than interspaces, superimposed on axial folds; 4 cords on first and second teleoconch whorl, adapical one bordering suture. Body whorl rounded, with 12-13 quite even spiral cords and axial folds grad- ually fading toward periumbilical area. Teleoconch whorls with extremely fine spiral microsculpture of v\'ide- ly spaced granulose threads. Outer lip slightly opistho- chne, externally thickened by very strong rim strongly differentiated from adjacent external shell surface; su- perimposed by spiral cords, which continue, very atten- uated, on its outer surface: inner surface smooth. Inner lip slightl) thickened, leaving distinct umbilical chink. Shell white. Habitat: On deeper part of shelf and upper part of slope, type of bottom unknown, often found together with A. marchadi and A. liclicii. Distribution: From the coast of Sahara to Senegal. Etymology: The species is named after Rudo \'on Co- sel, as a triiiute to his contributions to West African mal- acolog\. Remarks: This species shares with A. siibarcolata, A. marchadi, and A. richcri the general outline, \ertical ax- ial ribs, teleoconch microsculpture and the \'ery pecuhar microsculpture of closely arranged granules on the pro- toconch. Based on these shell characters, these species are provisionally considered to belong to a monophvletic group. Alvania coscU is distinguished from these species by having about tsvice as man\' spiral cords. Genus Crisilla Monterosato. 1917 T\pe species: Turbo scmistrintus Montagu, 1808, b\- nionotvpy.

Remarks: This species is veiy similar to C. transitoiia, sharing with this latter the teleoconch sculpture and col- or; they differ, however, hv the spire profile, which is higher and more regular!)' conical in C. tiansitoiia, not cyrtoconoid, and by the number of teleoconch whorls, one more in C. tronsitoria. The essential diagnostic char- acter is the paucispiral protoconch, which hints at one more case of a pair of similar species, with one species supposedly undergoing planktotrophic development, the other one undergoing non-plankiotrophic de\ek)pment.

Habitat: Under stones among coarse sand and rubble on rock-v bottoms, subtidal. Distribution: West African coast from Western Sa- hara to Angola; Sao Tome; Cape Verde Islands. Remarks: This species was described from a West Af- rican specimen as Zcbina punctostriata by Talavera (1975), but was later (Garcia-Talavera, 1982) svnony- mized with the West Indian species Ri.s.soina dvcussata (Montagu, 1803). The multispiral lanal shell, with deep notches for ve- lar lobes, indicates planktotrophic development for both species. However, it can be questioned whether the small laivae o{ Rissoina can routinely cross the Atlantic. R. dccussata has a more cylindrical protoconch than R. punctostriata from Angola or Cape Verde Islands, and lacks the shoulder on the very early teleoconch whorls Page 98 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113.

The population e.xamined from Cote d'lvoire consists of old, worn shells, possibly subfossil, and differs markedly in having strong axial sculpture, with few strong ribs, thus superficially resembling SchwciiizicIIa africana.

Habitat: Continental shelf Distribution: From Southern Morocco to Senegal. Etymology: The specific epithet alludes to the sturdy robust shell. Remarks: This species resembles Zcbina paivcnsis (Watson, 1873), a species commonly found on the shores of the Canarv' Islands and Selvagens, and which authors (Odhner, 1931; Nordsieck, 1972; Garcia-Talavera, 1982) have identified as the West Indian Zcbina browniana (d'Orbigny 1842) or Zcbina vitrea (C.B. Adams. 1850). The Macaronesian populations resemble the Caribbean ones, but differ in having paucispiral instead of multispi- ral protoconchs, and in having different surface micros- culpture. I illustrate here (Figs 81-82) these details from a specimen of Z. browniana originating from the same lot as the shell illustrated by Desjardin (1949: pi. 10 fig. 4). Zcbina paivcnsis has been originally introduced by Watson (1873: 364-365; pi. 36 fig. 29)' as Eulima paiv- cnsis. and was overlooked since then. Its type locality is the coast of the Selvagens, where it is extremely com- mon. I figure (figures 83-86) some topotvpes for com- parison. Zcbina robustior differs from Z. paivcnsis in being larger, having a strighter profile of spire and whorls and a more globose apex. It is an outer shelf species, in con- trast with Z. paivcnsis. which inhabits in beach gravel on the lower intertidal zone of rocky shores. DISCUSSION There is apparentlv verv little in common between the West African rissoids group and those from Western Eu- rope and Morocco. The 2 shared species {PusiUina in- conspictta and ObttiscUa intcrsccta) belong to genera in which species-level systematics is still confused and where further research may reveal species complexes where 1 single taxon is now recognized. The Rissoa and Sctia radiations, important in the Mediterranean and still quite well represented in Mo- rocco and in the Canaries, are \irtuall}^ absent in West Africa. The only representation is the citation of Rissoa similis Scacchi, 1836 in Port-Etienne (now Nouadhibou, at the extreme north of the West African province) by Dautzenberg (1913), which is correct but marginal to the West African province. Rissoa and Sctia encompass species that live on algae or marine phanerogams on shallow rock"v bottoms. Some lineages in the genus Al- vania. including species such as the Mediterranean A. scabra Phihppi, 1836 and A. discors (Allan, 1818), which usuall}' live among the photophilous algae, are also ap- parently absent in West Africa. Most species described herein live either in cavities of rock-v substrates, or on outer shelf soft bottoms, and their European relatives, where known, have also the same kind of habitat. This trend mav be related to the scarcity of rockv shores suit- able for the development of the communitv of photophi- lous algae, in most of tropical West Africa. However, it is not expkiined for Southern Angola where shallow ma- rine environments resemble very much temperate Eu- rope, but where Barleeidae clearlv outnumber Rissoidae on the rock-v shore (Gofas, 1995). There are 4 pairs of species with planktotrophic de- velopment, and with respectively West African and West European nonoverlapping ranges. These are: Alvania aJhcana/A. bcani Alvania manoi/A. canccllata Ahania gofasi/A. zctlanclica Crisilla transitoria/C. semistriata Each one of these species p;iirs occupies similar hab- itats and shares similar conchological characters, which suggest that thev are closelv related. This is in contrast to the usual concept of local radiations where loss of planktotrophv has accompanied, or induced, local dif- S. Gofas, 1999 Page 101 ferentiation. In this case, it is siiqirisiiii^ that species with good tlispersal aliilit\ have not persisted as single pan- mictic units. A possible scenario is that a single wide- spread species has been chsrupted when increasing Nortli/South climatic contrast has rendered impossible the existence of an extensive latitudinal range, leading the species to either be extinct on part ot its range or to split up. This scenario (Eniller, 1977) implies that se- lective pressure induced bv changing environmental conditions mav lead to discontinuous character distri- bution and, eventually, speciation along ioruierlv large geographic ranges. This model has been invoked to ex- plain .speciation events in planktic species (Pierrot-Bults and van der Spoel, 1979). The model fits with the dis- tributional data of the 4 species pairs mentioned abo\e. Two other species (Pit.siUino iiiconspiciia and ObtiiseUa intersecta) with planktotrophic lan'ae have apparently maintained their large, all-inclusive tropical and temper- ate range.

THE NAUTILUS 113(3):102, 1999 Page 102 Book Review Catalogue and Bibliography of the Marine Shell-hearing Molltisca of Japan hij Shun'ichi Higo, Paul Calloinon, and Yoshiliiro Goto. 1999. Elle Scientific Publications, Osaka, Japan. 749 pp. $130.00 After compiling notes on Japanese Mollusca for some 30 years, Mr. Shun'ichi Higo pubBshed, in 1973, a list of Japanese Mollusca, followed by a greatlv enlarged and expanded version bv Higo & Goto in 1993. These two important catalogues have not been widely utiUzed as they were written in Japanese. This new catalogue, cov- ering onlv marine shell-bearing mollusks, is entirely in English and is a verv important tool for marine mala- cologists, hsting 6,683 nominal species. This is the first of a two-volume set, the second of which will consist of new color plates of as many type specimens as possible, including all Japanese tvpe specimens in major museums such as the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (USNM), Japan's National Science Museum (NSMT), the Natural Historv' Museum in London (BM(NH)), and in important private collections in Ja- pan, supplemented by photos of non-type specimens from Japan. The authors' intent is to list every species ever cited from Japan and/or originallv described from Japan with original combination, date, and publication reference given for each. Given the nature of the malacological literature there will almost certainly be a few errors and omissions as in all such compilations. However, given the large number of citations and references cited, the num- ber of omissions, if any, must be very few. All ti«a are attributed up through the family level and type species are given for genera. The type locality and distribution are given for each species. Habitat, when known, is also included. There are no manuscript names fisted and no fossils unless the species also is found in the Recent fauna. The authors stress that, because this work is compiled from the existing fiterature, the number of species recortled will almost certainly exceed the number of species ac- tually existing in the area. This compilation provides a platform from which systematists can work. In addition to a complete citation for each species, the Japanese vernacular name is given. Instead of these names being in kana as usually rendered, thev have been transcribed into the Roman alphabet with h\phens add- ed to assist in pronunciation. The introduction to the Catalogue gives an overview of the status and impor- tance of these vernacular names, an explanation which has long been needed in English as manv non-Japanese wrongly consider the Japanese nomenclature to be a competing system. An index of the Japanese vernacular names is given in the Roman alphabet for the first time. The systems used to transcribe Japanese kanji into the Roman alphabet are explained. The two most widely used systems have both been utifized in malacology, sometimes with odd results. One example of the prob- lems caused by ha\ing two systems is that we thus have hvo verv different names, Mr. Ranzi Tiba and Mr Ranji Chiba, being used for the same person. Some species names based on variant transcriptions are "frozen" into the binominal system, such as chlhanum and tibanum, both proposed for species from Chiba Prefecture. The short but very important and interesting intro- duction to the Catalogue explains the use of new distri- bution maps to indicate ranges for each species and in- cludes information and insights about the Japanese mol- luscan faima and its literature not to be found elsewhere. Information about such classic locafities as "Ku" and 'Tosa", which show up frequently on specimens, but which no longer exist under those names, is also includ- ed. The Catalogue's bibfiography is of great importance as it contains not only all original references for marine mollusks described from Japan, but it also fists manv works originalK- written in Japanese with titles translated into Engfish for the first time. This is the largest bibfi- ograph\ of Japanese molluscan works ever published. A fisting of Japanese serial publications, inclucfing address- es of present publishers if still being printed, is of es- pecial importance as manv of these journals are seldom seen outside of Japan. The book is a fine example of book production. It is A4 in size, printed on cream stock paper and bound in Damascene cloth with a gold stamped leatherette spine. And, as is the case with most Japanese books, it comes in a sfipcase. Richard E. Petit P.O.

Coan' Department of Invertebrate Zoology California Academy of Sciences Golden Gate Park' San Francisco, CA 9411S-4599 USA ABSTRACT There are four eastern Pacific Ocean species of the genus Sphenia: (1) Sphenia fragilis (H. Adams and A. Adams, 1854), occurs in a \'ariety of nestling situations from the inteitidal zone to shallow water, from Santa Barbara County, California, to Guayas Province, Ecuador, and has as synonyms S. fragilis Car- penter, 1857; S. pacificensis de Folin, 1867; and S. tnincubis Dall, 1916; as well as the western Atlantic Corbida iheringiana Pilsbrv-, 1897; and S, antiUen.si.s Dall and Simpson, 1901. (2) Sphenia gulfensis. a new species, is restricted to soft bottoms in the Gulf of Cahfomia. (3) Sphenia hafcheri Pilsbr), 1899, occurs, probably in relati\eK soft substrata, from Rocha De- partment, Uruguay, through the Estreclio de Magallanes, as far north as Isla Chiloe, Chile; S. subequalis Dall, 1908, is a syn- onym. (4) Sphenia hiticola (\'alenciennes, 1846), occurs off- shore in rock caxities from Jefferson Counts, Washington, to San Diego Count\'. California, and has as sviionvms S. pholad- iclea Dall, 1916; Cuspidaiia nana Oldrovd. 1918; and S. ajobnla Dall, 1919. Sphenia bihrata Gabb, 1861. may have been based on Recent specimens of Hiatella arctica (Linnaeus, 1758). Sphenia ovoidea Carpenter 1864, is based on a juvenile Mija. most probably .^/ arenaria Linnaeus, 1758 INTRODUCTION Bernard (1983: 58) pro\icled the most recent list with svnonvniies of the eastern Pacific species of the myoi- dean genus Sphcnio. He recognized three: S. hatchcri Pilsbry, 1899, in southern Chile; S. Ittticola (Valenci- ennes, 1846), with a number of synonyms, from north- em Cahfornia to northern Peru; and S. ovoidea Caq^en- ter, 1864, from southeastern Alaska to Puget Sound, Washington. At the same time he erected a new sul)fam- ilv, the Spheniinae, based on two morphological features (Bernard, 1983: 58, 70). Mv attention was drawm to some material that proved to belong to Sphenia from the Colfo de Cahfornia and that had been misidentified as a new species of Ba.ste- rotia, a genus of the Sportellidae, which 1 was then studying. When that review was completed (Coan, 1997; 1999), I returned to this material, which proved instead ' Mailing address: 891 San Jude Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94306- 2640 USA; 2ene.coan@sierraciub.org to be a new species oi Spltcnia Examination of the avail- able eastern Pacific material of Sphenia, including the ty|De material of the described species, has resulted in conclusions that differ significantly from those of Ber- nard (1983), Pre\ious taxonomic lists and studies of Sphenia in- clude tho.se of A. Adams (1851), Tryon (1869: 67), E. A. Smith (1893), Lamv (1927: 176-184), Lewis (1968), and Hanks and Packer (1985). Bahik and Radwariski (1979) discussed the moiphological variabihtv of the Miocene Sphenia anatina (Basterot, 1825: 92) caused by its nes- thng site. Forbes and Hanley (1848: 189-193) were the first to describe the anatomv of a species oi' Sphenia. S. hingha- mi Turtf)n, 1822, from notes provided b\ WilUam Clark. Yonge (1951) reviewed the functional moq^hology of S. bint^Iunni, and Narchi and Domaneschi (1993) that of S. antillensis Dall and Simpson, 1901 Some species, such as S. hinghanii, nestle in rock crevices and similar situations, whereas others, such as S. antillcnsis, are somewhat more widespread nestlers, occurring among colonial ascidians, polychaete tubes, and the byssal threads of mviilid clams. Sphenia sincera Hanks and Packer, 1985, occurs in soft bottoms, but there is not yet an account of how its functional mor- pholog\- differs from the two taxa studied thus far. FORMAT In the following treatment, each \alid taxon is charac- terized bv its svnonvmv, description, information on tvpe specimens and tvpe locafities, notes on distribution and habitat, and an additional discussion. The synonymies include all major taxonomic accounts about the species, but not most minor mentions in the literature. The entries are arranged in chronological or- der under each species name, with changes in generic allocation from the previous entry, if any, and other notes given in parentheses. The distributional information is based on Recent specimens I have examined, except as noted. Fossil oc- currences are taken from the hterature.

Skoglund, Phoenix, Ar- izona, USA. MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS Due to the nesthng habitat of most species, overall shell shape is not an easil)' used character in identification ot species. Variabiht)' in shape is illustrated in the material figured herein. Some species of Spltcnia, such as S. Iti- ticola and S. anotino, are highlv \'ariable in shape, in- habiting pre-established cavities in relatively hard sub- strata. Splienio fragilis, nesthng amongst such materials as brvozoan colonies, is onl\ slightK' less variable. Those species occurring in softer substrata, such as S. sinccra, and presmnabK' S. ffilfensis and S. hatchcii, retain a more defined shape. While the shape of the ends, especially the posterior end, is also variable, the degree of elongation and infla- tion of the anterior end is a useful character that helps, for example, to chstinguish S. fragilis from S. gulfcnsis. The periostracum differs among species. The extent to which the periostracum and, in one case, the outer shell layer extend the posterior end is particularK im- portant in species distinction. The chondrophore in the left valve, while exliibiting xariabilitv in size and shape, pro\ddes at least three use- ful characters. In small specimens of all species, it is approximately horizontal. As some species reach their maximum size, it may become more vertical, such as in S. liiticola. Also useful is the degree of elongation of die posterior attachment (the "posterior buttress") and the length of the posterior ridge (figures 1, 18-22). The placement ot the anterior muscle scar — located either close to the ventral margin or more toward the middle of the anterior margin — proves to be a usefid specific character. The extent to which the posterior ad- ductor muscle scar and the pallial sinus are recessed from the posterior end is also a useful character These features are illustrated with Hne drawings (figures 18- 22). Finally, the size of the discontinuous scars defining the palhal sinus differs among the four eastern Pacific spe- cies. The most important specific characters are gix'en in Table 1. 1 Figure 1. Contrasting features ot the chondrophores of two species of Sphenia. (a) S. gi/Z/c/i-sw and (b) S. luticola. The first has a long posterior bvittress (arrow) in contrast to the latter The second has a long, projecting posterior ridge (asterisk) in contrast to the first. SYSTEMATICS Family Mvidae Lamarck, 1809; 319, as "Myaires" Subfamily Crsptomvinae Habe, 1977: 279 This subfamily is thus far distinguished from the M\'inae only on the basis its short siphons and shallow pallial sinus. Bernard (1983: 58, 70) proposed the Spheniinae based on ^^vo characters: (1) the "resilifer" in the left \'alve was said to be "only superficiall)' similar" to the "chondrophore" oi Mya, and (2) "the lateral tubercles of the right xaKe ha\'e no counteqiart in Mya" I behe\e that this rationale is indefensible. In the first instance, a chontlrophore is merely a hollowed-out, pro- jecting resihfer, and the left \'alves of both Sphenia and Mya have similar structures. Mya attains a much larger size than Sphenia, and its chondrophore ultimateK' be- comes more prominent. However at an equivalent size, the chontlrophores and their features in the two genera are \irtuallv identical. Indeed, in describing a new spe- cies of Splicnia, Hanks and Packer (1985) use terminol- ogy for chondrophore features first proposed for those oi Mya by MacNeil (1965) and earlier authors. Bernard's reference to "lateral tubercles" in Sphenia is equally per- plexing. The eastern Pacific species of Sphenia have a small, slightly projecting anterior carchnal tooth in the right \'al\e, varying in prominence among species; there is no posterior tooth. There is no projecting anterior car- chnal tooth in Ml/a of equivalent size, but the posterior end of its anterodorsal margin ma\' be expanded and turned ventralK' just anterior to the resilifer The pres- ence or absence of a small tooth ma\' differentiate mem- bers of the two genera, but it does not seem to be a fundamental difference.

The re- silifers in the two valves are equallv recessed and U-shaped, very- different from those of other mvids. There is no pallial sinus, and the external shell smface is pustulose, the latter sug- gesting to Campbell (1993:.33) that it the species might be a member of the Sportellidae, Moreover, like the sportellid ge- nus Anisodonta Deshayes, 1858:542, Paranuja has a thick in- ternal radial rib just posterior to the anterior adductor How- ever, sportellids ha\e not been reportetl to have large internal hgaments.

Adams in 1854 for a "curious little shell" found nestling in a sand-filled cav- it\- in a Spoiuli/ltis vAw. Figured by these authors two N'ears later, it was characterized as having a chondro- phore and a short pallial sinus like a Sphcnia, but it was also said to ha\e a partlv external ligament and the an- terior end was said to have a ridge below the dorsal margin supported by a series of calcareous septa dorsal to it (figure 2a). When Carpenter (1857b: 24) first discussed Ti/Iciia frazil is (in a portion of the Mazatlan Catalogue typeset in 1855), and having seen only a drawing of it, he said, "I have occasionalK' noticed valves of Sphcnia with a tendencv towards the same crenation at the posterior end, apparentK' through the irritation of sand. ' (He ev- idently confused or misstated which end had the "ore- nation. ") Later, in a portion of his book typeset in 1857 (p. 547), he said that he had seen the actual specimen and concluded that it was unique, not a Sphcnia; in the same work he described Sphcnia fraf^ihs as a new spe- cies, thus selecting the same species name. When Mvra Keen examined the holotvpe of Tijleiia fra^iUs in The Natural Histors' Museum in London she concluded that it realK' was a pathological specimen of Sphenia in which the shell material was "either not de- posited or was resorbed" along the dorsal margin, leav- ing "a few islands of solid calcium carbonate embedded in v\hat is mostK' periostracum" (Keen, 1968). (Perios- tracuni bridging the two valves probably accounts for the Adams' observation of an external ligament.) The holotvpe of Ti/lciia fragilis remains a puzzle. I have been able to examine onK photographs of the spec- imen, which is now too fragile to travel. The specimen was badh' eroded from the start and has since been much broken; the outer periostracal layer is now mostly gone. The "calcareous septa" seen bv the Adams' and the "islands of solid calcium carbonate " observed by Keen now appear with loss of the periostracum to re- semble short radial ribs (figure 2b). No other specimens of Sphenia have been seen like this, and it may have been caused h\ the animal's nestling site. On the other hand, the shallow pallial sinus defined by a series of dis- continuous scars comports with Sphcnia. The chondro- phore and resilifer also fit this genus: while both seem distorted, such distortion is not unusual. A greater com- fort level with the identity- of the specimen could be achieved by close examination of the chondrophore, be- cause that of nivids has unitjue features. While I ha%e not seen other specimens of Sphcnia with its singular morphology, no other known nesthng clam better ex- plains the specimen, and it is best to leave the svnonviny of the two species named fragiUs as it is. The t\pe specimen oi' Spltcnia antillcnsis is small, flat, and now chipped (figure 5). All other western Atlantic material I have examined, including the 23 lots available in the USNM, specimens in musouns on the west coast, and a set of the material studied In Narchi and Doma- nesehi (1993) [SBMNH 145246],' is indistinguishable from eastern Pacific specimens of Sphcnia fragiUs in all features here found to be useful here in distinguishing species Sphcnia — shell shape and thickness, maximum size, chondrophore orientation and moq:)holog)', pallial sinus details, and positions of the adductor muscle scars, as well as in reported habitat. The nomenclatural situation is further complicated by the fact that Sphcnia antiUcnms is not even the earliest name available in the western Atlantic. The first name proposed for a Recent western Atlantic Sphenia is Cor- bula iheiingiana based on material from Urugua%', with a lectohpe figured here with a photograph for the first time (figure 24). Because of the fact that western Atlantic material can- not be distinguished from eastern Pacific material bv any criteria found useful at the species level in this genus, it is inescapable to use the first name proposed until such time as significant differences are discovered. Given its shallow habitat and presence in fouling com- munities, it is not impossible that Sphcnia fragiJis has been transported h\ ship traffic during the last 300 years either to the east or the west. As evidence that such transport can occur in this genus is the recent discover\' of a few .specimens of Sphcnia in Pearl Harbor, Oaliu, Hawaii (SBMNH 144633). This material has been ten- tatively identified as the western Pacific Sphcnia corca- nica Habe, 1951:76, based on its heavier comniarginal sculpture and pallial sinus positioned further from the posterior end. (Habe's original material was small and oval, and had not grown the elongate posterior end t\p- ical of larger specimens.) However, the relationships of this material and of western Pacific Sphcnia corcanica Figures 5-7. Sphenia fragiUs (H. Adams and A. Adams). 5.

Sphenia gulfensis new species (Figures la, 8-10, 19, 20) Description: Shell thin, elongate; anterior end pro- duced, broadlv roimded, tapering in thickness gradualh' from anterior to posterior end; right valve more inflated, generally extending well beyond posteroventral margin of left valve; posterior end often very elongate, tapered verticallv, broadlv truncate, sometimes flared, narrower in left valve, not extended b\- periostracum, slightK gap- ing.

T)pe locality: San Felipe, Baja California (Norte), Gulf of California, Mexico (31.0°N, 114.8°W), 15-22 m, mud bottom. Distribution: Puerto Escondido, Baja California Sur (25.8°N) (CAS 112929). northward to the head of the Gulf of California at Bahi'a ChoUa, Puerto Peiiasco, So- nora (31.4°N) (SBMNH 115752, UCMP E8398, Sko- glund Coll.), south to Mazatlan, Sinaloa (23.2°N) (UCMP E9704), Mexico, from the intertidal zone to 61 m (mean = 15 m; n = 13), on soft bottoms. I have examined 31 lots. Discussion: This species has sometimes been separat- ed in coUections as differing from S. fragilis. Stillman Berrs' recognized it in material he had collected at Puerto Peiiasco, Sonora, in 1949 and 1952 (SBMNH 115752), and I isolated it aside in material I had col- lected at San Felipe, Baja California (Norte), in 1963 (UCMP E9705). This new species differs from S. fragilis as follows: (1) the anterior end of S. gulfensis is longer and propor- tionately less inflated; (2) overall, it is more elongate; (3) while varsing somewhat in shape, not as much as S. fra- gilis and never as irregular, suggesting a non-nestling habitat, (4) the right valve overlaps the left valve more extensivelv postero-ventrallv; (5) the chondrophore in the left valve, while varying somewhat in shape, is nor- malK' smaller and projects more horizontally, and has a longer posterior buttress; the resilifer in the right valve is consequently more deepK* recessed; (6) the cardinal tooth in the right viilve is more con.spicuous; (7) the pos- terior end is sometimes flared and is not extended by periostracum; and (8) the posterior adductor and the pallial sinus are positioned further from die posterior end. In the Golfo de California, where their distributions overlap, specimens of S. fragilis and S. gulfensis smaller than 2 mm are difficult to differentiate. In such material, S. fragilis is most easilv distinguished by its more round- ed outline, more inflated posterior end. its more poste- riorly positioned pallial sinus, and its proportionately larger chondrophore. This new species differs from S. sinccra Hanks and Packer, 1985, which inhabits soft bottoms in 30 to 63 m in northern New England, in being longer and more tapered posteriorK-, having a narrower less projecting chondrophore, having a thinner almost transparent peri- ostracum, and in attaining a larger size. Etymology: The name gulfensis refers to the fact diat the known distribuHon of this new species is chiefly re- stricted to the Gulf of California.

The only depth record available is that with the hpe specimen of S. snbequalis, 37 m. The material that has been illus- trated and that I have studied is of similar shape, sug- gesting that the species occurs in relativelv soft substrata. Records from north of the Golfo Nuevo — the Uniguav- an and Mar del Plata specimens cited above — probablv represent sporadic larval settlement. Only a single east- em Pacific lot has thus far come to my attention, and 1 have been unable to discover what material Bernard (1983) relied upon for his eastern Pacific record of this species. Discussion: The largest species of the genus. S. hat- cheri is most similar to S. luticola. The former differs in having a thinner, more regular shell with a broader pos- terior end. The chondrophore in the left valve projects more toward the right valve, with the resilifer in the right valve more deeply recessed. The posterior ridge does not extend as far beyond the v entral edge of the chondrophore.

The last specimen was figured by Schenck and Keen (1940) and Schenck (1945) and may also be the Bolinas specimen of Cuspidnria nana referred tob\ OldroN-d (1918). Distribution: West of Destruction Island, Jefferson County, Washington (47.7°N) (SBMNH 140087), south to San Diego, San Diego Countv, California (.32.8°N) (USNM .322064, .32206.5'), from L5 to 155 m (mean, 50 m; n = 15), nestling in holes in rock and shell. I have seen 34 Recent lots. This species has also been recorded in the Pliocene Foxen Mudstone of Santa Barbara Coun- t>' (Woodring and Bramlette, 1951: 66, 91, as S. globula) and San Diego Formation of San Diego Count)' (Hert- lein and Grant, 1972: 321-322, pi. .56, figs. 21. 22, as "cf luticola"). California. Discussion: The t)pe specimens of this species and its SMiomins demonstrate the potential of species of Sphc- nia to assume a varieh' of shapes. Nestling in pre-estab- lished cavities in subtidal rocks, the shell conforms to the shape of the available space in the same manner as the European Miocene S. anatina discussed bv Baluk and Radwariski (1979). The lectotvpe oi'Corbula luticola and the holohpe of Cuspklaria nana are inflated and acuminate. The holot\pe of Sphcnia pholadklca is flat- tened and truncate posteriorly, and the lectotype of S. globula is oval and inflated. A small specimen (CAS 111000; Monterey, California: length, 5.8 mm) is regular in outline and only somewhat longer posteriorly. It is similar to juvenile Mya, but is easily distinguished by its shallow pallial sinus composed of broad pallial scars, as well as by features of its chon- drophore, such as those outlined by Hanks and Packer (1985: 324) for their new species of Sphcnia. In this small Monterey specimen, the chondrophore projects more horizontally and the resilifer in the left valve is more deeply recessed than those of large specimens, demonstrating the morphological change with growth. Sphenia luticola and S. fragilis overlap in southern California. The former can be distinguished by its thick- er shell, more ventrallv directed chondrophore, with a larger, often projecting posterior ridge, and a pallia) line formed by larger scars. It also occurs offshore and attains a larger size. Of the eastern Pacific taxa, S. luticola is the most sim- flar to the type species of the genus, .S. binghami. which has a more regularly cjuadrate shape, with a broadly truncate posterior end, and its chondrophore is thinner more horizontal, and does not have a projecting poste- rior ridge (USNM 171240 [lectotype], 171245. ,3.372,53). Its pallial sinus is composed of narrower scars, and at- tains only about 10 nun. OTHER TAXA Several fossil taxa of Sphcnia have been named in North and Central America. While it is beyond tlie scope of the present paper to anal)'ze their relationships, I list them here to facilitate access to this literature. Sphcnia scntcifciti Gardner (19.36: 45, pi. 8, figs. 2- 4). described from the Miocene Oak Grove Formation of the Alum Bluff Group of Florida, has an obfique out- line, a broadk- flared posterior end, and a relatively smafl, horizontal chondrophore [USNM 372905], Sphe- nia (hibia (Lea. 1843: 2) [originally as Mija clubia] from the Pliocene Yorktowm Formation of Virginia is relatively thick shelled, variable in shape, but generally short and oval, and it has an especially large chondrophore in the left valve and resilifer in the right; Mi/a rcflcxa Lea (1843: 2) is regarded as a .s\Tionym (Campbell' 1993: 47, 213. fig. 187. 187a) [see also Lea. 1845: 236-237, pi. .34, figs. 9. 10] [ANSP 1588, USNM 40.3.361, SBMNH 144632]. Sphcnia attcnuota Dall (1898: 860, pi. 35, fig. 9) [USNM 107806], from the Plio-Pleistocene Caloosa- hatchee Formation of Florida, is ver\' similar to S. dubia and is perhaps a svnonyTn of it. Sphcnia wallacci Dall (1912: 3), described from the late Pleistocene of Panama, seems to have been over- looked since it was proposed. The tvpe material [USNM 214354] consists of a large right valve (length, 10.3 mm), a medium-sized left valve (length. 9.1 mm), and a smafl left valve (length, 3.7 mm). The right valve, which would be the logical candidate for an eventual lectotspe des- ignation, is oval and inflated and seems to be same thing as die later-named S. tumida Lewis (1968: 26-30. pi. 1, figs. 1-4) [USNM 64.566.3-645667] from the Pleistocene of Florida. The larger left valve in the type lot of S. wallacci is elongate antl mav be S. fragilis; the other left viJve is too small to identify. Sphcnia tuinida was re- ported from a Texas beach, although it was thought to have possibly been a fossil (Ode and Speers. 1971: 71; Ode. 1971: 74-75). However Sphcnia tumida has been reported and figured as living on the coast of Yucatan, Mexico (Yokes and Yokes, 1983: 44, pi. 48, fig. 16). Thus, there may be a second living species of Sphcnia in the western Atlantic, which should be called S. wallacci. EXCLUDED TAXA Sphcnia hilirata Gabb (1861: 369) was described from Santa Barbara, California, presmnablv from the Tertiary, as is implied by the paper's title ( "Descriptions of new species of American Tertiary Fossils and a new Carbon- iferous Cephalopod from Texas"). Sphcnia hilirata was not figured, and the tvpe material has never been locat- ed. There must have been more than one original spec- imen, because the diameter was said to be "variable." As has been noted by previous workers (Carpenter, 1864: 632 [1872: 118]; Lamy 1927: 177), the description close- Page 116 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 4 Figure 23. Mi/a ?nrennria Linnaeus, 17.58. Holotype of Sphenia ovoidea, USNM 4.5.52, lengtl 1, I .o mm. ly matches small Hiatclla arctica (Linnaeus, 17.58). How- ever, Hiotclla has not been recorded from the Santa Bar- bara Formation (Arnold. 1907: .32; Dibblee, 1966: .58), the outcrop of which at Bathhouse Beach is the most likel)' loc;Jit\- for the rest of the Santa Barbara taxa de- scribed in Gabbs paper^. Additional study of the Santa Barbara Formation is needed, because its fauna remains poorK' documented. It is more likelv that S. biliratci came from the Recent fauna, because, while it is re- corded by Gabb simply as "Santa Barbara Cal.," each of the other Santa Barbara fossil t;ixa also adds "Miocene" or "Miocene?" (The Santa Barbara Formation is now regarded as being of earK Pleistocene age.) Sphenia californica Conrad (1837: 2.34, pi. 17, fig. 11) is the original combination for Cn/ptomi/a californica (Conrad. 18.37) (Keen, 1966: 171). ' Sphenia? mc^anosensi.s Clark and Woodford (1927: 106, 134. pi. 18, figs. 15, 16), from die lower middle Eocene Meganos Formation of central California, is based on two closed specimens [UCMP 31326, 31327] ' Another Santa Barbara bivalve described in Gabbs paper. Cardita inonilico.sta (p. .371). has been snbse(juentlv recorded Ironi this formation. A third Santa Barbara bivalve, Venus rhij- somia (pp. 369-370), which has been regarded as a svmonviii of Ntitricola tantiHa (Gould. l.S.53:406) (Caqienter 1864:632: S. Gray, 1982:108-109, as Transennelln- generic allocation: Coan and Scott, 1997:14, 25), has not been recorded from the Santa Barbara Formation, but N. barbarensis (Arnold, 1907: 440-441, pi. 58, fig. 3, as Psephidia) is so recorded, and I dius suspect that V. rhtjsomia is a senior synonvm of Arnold's ta.\on instead. The two gastropods described from the same station have subsequently been recorded there, both now regarded as junior ,svTion\ins of other taxa. said to resemble material of Sphenia from the Eocene of the Paris Basin. No additional specimens of this spe- cies have been recorded, nor has the genus been re- ported in anv other strata earlier than the Pliocene in western North America. Until more material becomes available and a hinge e.>qDosed, one cannot be certain that this material represents Sphenia. Sphenia ovoidea Carpenter (1864: 602, 637 [1872: 88, 123], 1865: .54) was described from a single specimen, paired valves obtained in Puget Sound from a fish stom- ach in the 1860s. (Sphenia ovalis Carpenter, 1864: 682 [1872: 168], is a typographical error for ovoidea in the same work.) Although previous workers have listed it as a Sphenia, examination of tlie holot\pe [USNM 4552; length, 7.5 mm; height, 4.5 mm; thickTiess, 2.8 mm] (Figure 23)^, which was well figured bv Palmer (1958: 116, .340, pi. 15, figs. 7-10), confirms C'aqienter's "man- tle bend large" (i.e., a large pallial sinus), demonstrating tliat it is a juvenile Mija, not a Sphenia. Juvenile Mt/a are most easilv distinguished from Splienia bv' their larg- er, continuous pallial sinuses. This specimen appears to be Ml/a arcnaria Linnaeus (1758: 670); it presents a quandars' because this species, having become extinct in the Pacific Northwest by the Pleistocene (Carlton, 1979: 518-.543, 1992: 495), was first recorded in the 1880s, when it became reestablished through introduction from Atlantic popidations with imports of Crasso.strea virgi- nica (Gmelin, 1791). The only Mija thought to have been present in the 1860s is Mija tnincata Linnaeus (1758: ■ A broken valve in a separate capsule with the hoiohpe is an unrekited species, most likely a Ivonsiid, mixed into the lot between the time of Garpenter and that of Palmer E. V. Coan, 1999 Page 11" Figure 24. Sphenia fragilis. Lectot\pe ot Corbula iheiingi- ana Pilsbry-, 1897; ANSP 70541, length, 9.0 mm. 670)'\ but small specimens of that species are very dif- ferent from those of areuaria. It is possible that: (1) the specimen might not actually have come from Fuget Sound, although all the other material collected there bv C. B. R. Kennerley of the Northwest Boundan- Survey has proven to authentic; or that (2) Mija arenaria was actually present in Puget Sound 20 years earlier than previously thought as a result of introduction with oys- ters or ship fouling (J. T. Carlton, e-mail, 19 November 1997).

Etymology: Named in honor of Mr Julio ("olella. one of the founding members of the two Brazilian shell-re- lated organizations, "Sociedade Brasileira de Malacolo- gia" and "ConquiUoIogistas do Brasil". Discussion: C. colcllai new species differs from all other species of Chicorciis fS'(raf«,s) in having rounded, broad, last teleoconch whorl, rounded aperture, narrow varices, and short siphonal canal. C. colcllai is most closely related to C. (S.) articulatiis (Figs 8-10), a spe- cies with \er\' variable shell, however. C. colcllai differs in having more vvidelv spaced, narrower, a\ial ribs, nar- rower varices, broader, more rounded aperture, and nar- rower (relative to the shell width) siphonal canal. Chicoreus (Stratus) caudacuiia new species (Figures 1, 6, 7) Description: Shell medium sized for subgenus, up to 50 mm in length at maturitv, lanceolate, weakly spinose, lightly built. Spire verv high with 1.45 protoconch whorls, and up to 7 conve.x, low, weakly spinose teleo- conch whorls. Suture impressed. Protoconch large, broad, irregularly shaped, smooth. Terminal varix vm- known (eroded). Axial sculpture of teleoconch consisting of low, narrow, weakly spinose varices. Other axial sculp- ture of weakly nodose, intervarical ribs. Shoulder spine longest. First whorl with 15 ribs, second with 14, third to last whorl with 3 varices and 3 or 4 intervarical ribs. Spiral sculpture of primary, and secondary', low cords and threads. First to third whorl with 4 primaiy cords and 1 or 2 secondar)' cords; fourth and fifth with 6-8 cords and threads; last whorl with 13-15 cords and threads; shoulder with 3 or 4 cords. Aperture large, rounded. Columellar lip narrow, with 2 or 3 weak, low knobs abapicallv. Rim partially erect, adlierent at adap- ical extremity. Anal notch narrow, deep. Outer lip weakly erect, smooth within. Siphonal canal short in examined specimens, narrow, open, weakly angulate, with 3 or 4 low, spiral cords, and one short spine adaperturally. Shell ivorv'-white or creamy-white, with brown tinge on some spiral cords, more apparent on two cords abapicallv of shoulder, two on periphery, and two above siphonal ca- nal. Aperture white. Operculum and radula unknown. Type material: Holohpe MORC 39520. dretlged (dd(; R. Houart collection, 1 paratvpe, from tspe locality. Type locality: oil Veracruz, eastern Mexico, 400-500 m. Etymology: Latin for "short tail", alluding tf) its short siphonal canal. Discussion: Chicoreus (Stratus) caudacuiia somewhat resembles C. (S.) bcauit (Figures 2, 11, 12) from which it differs in having apparently different larval develop- ment. Chicoreus (S.) caudacurta has large, irregularly shaped, broad protoconch of 1.45 whorls (Figure 1), which suggest non-planktotrophic and possibly intracap- sular development, while C. (S.) hcauti has conical pro- toconch of 34- whorls and small embrvonic whorl (Fig- ure 2), which suggests planctotrophic larval develop- ment. Chicoreus (S.) caudacuiia also has a higher spire relative to the height of the aperture, and the length of the siphonal canal. Chicoreus (S.) caudacurta differs from C. (S. ) cailleti (Petit de la Saussave. 1856) (Figure 13) by higher spire, shorter siphonal canal, broader ap- erture, and protoconch twice as large. The new species differs from the 'form" C. kugleii (Clench and Perez- Farfante, 1945) in having shallower, more numerous, narrower spiral threads and cords, higher spire relative to the height of the aperture and the length of the si- phonal canal, and a protoconch twice as large.

Rehder (1907-1996): biographical sketch and malacological contributions Michael J. Sweeney M. G. Harasewych Department of Invertebrate Zoology National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC 20560-0118 U,SA Dr. Harald Alfred Rehder, Zoologist Emeritus at the Na- tional Museum of Natural Histors' of the Smithsonian Institution, and a leading authority' on die s>stematies and biogeographv of the niolluscan fauna of Polynesia, died on November 10, 1996, of cardiac arrest. An emi- nent scholar, he enjoyed a long and distinguished career, and was highly respected by the international malaco- logical community', as well as b\' the many amateur nat- uralists interested in moUusks. Harald Rehder was bom on June 5, 1905, in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of a botanist and curator at Har- vard University's Arnold Arboretum. He grew up in the Boston suburb of Jamaica Plain, were he attended Rox- bury Latin School. With the encouragement of his father and of Charles W. Johnson of the Boston Societv of Nat- ural History, his interest in natural history gradually be- came focused on mollusks. After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry from Bowdoin College in 1929, he entered Harvard University' as William J. Clench's first graduate student in Malacology. Prior to completing his degree at Harvard, he ob- tained a position as a Senior Science Aide to Dr. Paul Bartsch in the Division of Mollusks at the National Mu- seum of Natural History in 1932. Harald Rehder re- ceived his Master of Arts degree in Malacology from Harvard University in 1933, and his Ph. D. in Malacol- ogy from George Washingttjn Universit)- (Washington, DC) in 1934. His dissertation, "A contribution to our knowledge of the genus Succinea in North America " was completed under the guidance of Dr Bartsch. After re- ceiving his doctoral degree, he became an Assistant Cu- rator in the Division of Mollusks in 1934, an Associate Curator in 1942, and succeeded Paul Bartsch as Curator in 1946. Dr. Rehder was named Senior Zoologist in 1965, and held this position until his retirement in June 1976. He continued, as Zoologist Emeritus, to publish popular books and research papers on mollusks until his death. Dr Rehder devoted an extraordinary amount of time and effort throughout his career to the care and curation of the National Collection of Mollusks. During the Sec- ond World War, Dr Rehder and Dr. J. P. E. Morri.son, also of the Division of Mollusks, completed the daunting task of identifying, documenting, and segregating thou- sands of tvpe specimens of mollusks in preparation for removal from the general collections to the caverns in Luray, Virginia, for safekeeping. Upon their return to the National Museum after the war, these collections re- mained segregated as the type collection. Dr. Rehder oversaw the move of the collections from the central portion of the museum to the newly constructed re- search wing in the 1960s, and continued to curate count- less new acquisitions well into his retirement. Dr. Rehder began his career working primarily on the systematics of land and freshwater gastropods, but soon expanded his work to include marine faunas. He took part in expeditions to the Caribbean early in his career, but his major research interest, the study of the niollus- can faunas of the Central and South Pacific, developed during his participation in the Smidisonian-Bredin Ex- pedition to French Polynesia in 1957. He was a member of the Pacific Science Board's expeditions to the Mar- shall Islands in 1960, and led additional expeditions to the South Pacific in 1963, 1964, 1967, 1969, 1970, and 1973. supported by grants from the National Geographic Society, The National Science Foundation, and by pri- vate donors. Dr. Rehder conducted field work at more than fifty- islands and atolls during his career. The Na- tional Collection was enriched by over thirteen thousand lots and nearly one hundred thousand specimens that were collected during these expeditions. Dr. Rehder served as advisor to Helen L. Hayes, Jo- seph C. Britton, and George Radwin, who completed their doctoral degrees in malacology at George Wash- ington University between 1968 and 1972. Harald Rehder was the last surviving founding mem- ber of the American Malacological Union (now the American Malacological Society). He served as President of this organization in 1940^1, was elected as Honorary Life Member in 1978 and Honorarv' Life President in 1985. Dr. Rehder was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the California Acad- emy of Science, and a member of numerous professional societies, among them the Washington Academy of Sci- ences, the Biological Society of Washington, the Mala- cological Society of London, the Paleontological Societ)', the Societv for Systematic Zoolog); tlie American Littoral Societv', the IntemaHoniil Societv for Reef Studies, and the Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft. He Page 128 THE NAUTILUS, Vol. 113, No. 4 Figure 1. Dr. Harald Rehder. June 1971. served as Editor of the Jounjal of the Wo.shiufSton Acad- emy of Sciences from 1944—1946, as co-editor of Iiulo- Pacific MoHusca from 1959-1973, and on the ecbtorial board of numerous scholarK' publications. He also belonged to man\ shell clubs, including Boston Malacological Club, and the Hawaiian Malacological Soci- ety. A Charter member of tlie National Capital SheO Club, he was elected as its first president in November 1960. In addition he was a member of the Cosmos Club, The International Club of Washington, DC, The Ex- plorers Club of New York City', and served on the Ad- ministrative Board of the Foundrv United Methodist Church and its Susanna Weslev House, and was \er\' active in the Homeless Mission. He enjoved member- ship in the "Fossils," an organization of distinguished retired men. Two genera and 24 species of Mollusca, 1 species of Foraminifera and 1 species of Pvcnogonida have thusfar been named in his honor. His wife of 50 )'ears, Lois Corea Rehder, died in 1988. He is survived by a daughter, Anne F. van Beek-Rehder, of Amsterdam, The Netherlands; a son, Alfred L. Reh- der of Germantown, Marvland, and three grandchildren. n. MOLLUSCAN TAXA OF HARALD A. REHDER During his career Harald Rehder introduced 397 mol- luscan taxa, of which 58 were genus-level ta,xa (34 genera and 24 subgenera, 1 subgenus as a replacement name), and 339 were species-level taxa (320 as species, 19 as subspecies, 8 species as replacement names). These are Figure 2. Dr. Rehder at tlie .^imniai] Malacological Union meeting in Fort Lauderdale. Florida, July, 1981. listed alphabeticalK', by categorv.

PUBLICATIONS OF HARALD A. REHDER Harald A. Rehder authored 169 research papers and books over a span of 70 years (1924—1993). His first and last papers were in The Nautihis, a journal in which he published 55 articles. Dr Rehder published in a broad spectnmi of journals and moUuscan newsletters on a wide variet)' of topics and taxa. While he came to be recognized as a gastropod systematist with a special in- terest in the families Harpidae (6 publications) and Vol- utidae (11 papers), Rehder began his career studying land and freshwater gastropods (20 publications). He also published on Polvplacophora, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda, and Cephiilopoda, describing new taxa in each of these molluscan classes. Dr Rehder devoted 35 pubfications to documenting the molluscan fauna of the tropical Pa- cific, and 44 papers to nomenclatural and bibliographic issues. The following list of publications is arranged in chro- nological order, with dates of publication provided in square brackets [ ] when thev could be determined. Dates of papers published in The Nautilus are from Coan and HarasewTch (1993). Publications of the Unit- ed States National Museum are dated according to Anonymous (1971). Rehder, H.

ABBOTT VISITING CURATORSHIP The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum is pleased to iinite applications for the 2000 R. T Abbott Visiting Curatorship. The curatorship, establishetl origuially in accordance with the wishes of the late Dr R. T Abliott, Ff)unding Director of the Shell Museum, is awarded annually to enable mollusk systematists to visit the museum for a period of one to two weeks. Abbott Fellows will be expected, by performing collection-based research, to assist with the curation of the portions of the museum's Mollusk Collection and to provide one evening talk for the general pubhc. The museum collection consists of marine, freshwater, and land shells, with emphasis on SW Florida. A large percentage of the records has been catalogued through a computerized database management system. A substantial portion of the time will be available for research in the museum collection, but field work in SW Florida can be arranged. The R. T. Abbott Visiting Curatorship is accompanied by a stipend of $1,500. Interested malacologists are invited to send a copy of their curriculum vitae togeather with a letter detailing their areas of taxonomic expertise and research olijectives, and to provide a tentative title ior their talk. Send materials to: Dr. Jose H. Leal, Director The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum P O. Box 1580 Sanibel, FL 33957 Apphcations for the 2000 Visiting Curatorship should be sent no later than Januan' 31, 2000. The award will be announced by February 28, 2000. Questions about the R. T Abbott Visiting Curatorship should be directed to Dr. Leal at: (941) 395-2233; fax (941) 395-6706, or e-mail: ileal@gate.net THE NAUTILUS Volume 113 1999 REVIEWERS FOR VOLUME 113 Arthur E.

Wise Florida Department of State Florida Arts Council Division of Cultural Affairs This program Is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Arts Council INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS THE NAUTILUS publishes papers on all aspects of the biology and systematics of mollusks. Manuscripts describing original, unpublished research as well as review articles will be considered. Brief articles, not exceeding 1000 words, will be published as notes and do not require an abstract. No- tices of meetings and other items of interest to malacolo- gists will appear in a news and notices section. Manuscripts: Each original maiuiscript and accompanying illustrations should be submitted in triplicate. Te.\t must be t\ped on one side of 8V2 X 1 1 inch white paper, double spaced throughout (including literature cited, tables and figure captions), with at least 1 inch of margin on all sides. All pages must be numbered consecutively. If printed on a word processor, the right margin should be ragged rather than justified. Authors should follow the recommendations of the Scientific Style and Format — The C BE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, which is available from the Council of Biology Editors, Inc., 11250 Roger Bacon Drive, Suite 8, Reston, VA 20190, USA (http;//www.cbe.org/ cbe). The first mention of a scientific name in the text should be accompanied by the taxonomic authority, includ- ing year. Latin names and words to be printed in italics must be underlined; leave other indications to the editor. Metric and Celsius units are to be used. The sequence of sections should be: title page, abstract page, introduction, materials and methods, results, discus- sion, acknowledgments, literature cited, tables, figure cap- tions, figures. The title page should include the title, au- thor's name(s) and address(es). The abstract page should contain the title and abstract, which should summarize in 250 words or less the scope, main results and conclusions of tile paper. The abstract may be followed by a maximum of 8 key words. All references cited in the text nnist appear in the literature cited section and vice versa. In the litera- ture cited section, all authors must be fully identified and listed alphabetically. Follow a recent issue of THE NAU- TILUS for bibliographic st\'le, noting that journal titles must be unabbreviated. Information on plates and figures should be cited only if not included in the pagination. Ta- bles must be numbered and each placed on a separate sheet. A brief legend must accompany each table. Captions for each group of illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet and include a kev to all lettered labeling appearing in that group of illustrations. All line drawings must be in black, high (lualit)' ink, clear- ly detailed and completely labeled. Photographs must be on glossy, high contrast paper. All figures are to be consec- utively numbered (figs. 1, 2, 3, . . . , NOT figs, la, lb, Ic, . . . NOR plate 1, fig. 1 . . .). Illustrations must be arranged in proportions that will conform with the width of a page (6% inches or 171 mm) or a column (3% inches or 82 mm). The maximum size of a printed figure is 6% by 9 inches or 171 by 228 mm. All illustrations must be fully cropped, mounted on a firm, white backing, numbered, labeled and camera ready. The author's name, paper title and figure number(s) should appear on the back. Original illustrations must be between one and two times the desired final size. It is the author's responsibility that the line weight and let- tering are appropriate for the desired reduction. Original illustrations will be returned to the author if requested. Col- or illustrations can be included at extra cost to the author Voucher Material: Deposition of type material in a rec- ognized public museum is a requirement for publication of papers in which new species are described. Deposition of representative voucher specimens in such institutions is strongly encouraged for all other types of research papers. Processing of Manuscripts: Upon receipt, every manu- script is acknowledged and sent for critical review by at least two referees. These reviews serve as the basis for ac- ceptance or rejection. Accepted manuscripts are returned to the author for consideration of the reviewers' comments. Final Manuscript Submission: Authors of accepted manuscripts will be required to submit an electronic version of the manuscript correctly formatted for THE NAUTI- LUS. The formatted manuscript may be sent as an e-mail attachment to the editor (jleal@gate.net) or in a diskette, preferably prepared using an IBM PC-compatible text pro- cessor.
