Abstract

Specimens of Sinum haliotoideum (Linnaeus, 1758) were recently collected in the Red Sea area, confirming an old report from the mid-1800s. The occurrence in the Red Sea is supported by records, both earlier and recent, from neighbouring localities in the northern Indian Ocean. Thus, the northern Indian Ocean, including the Red Sea, has to be included in the geographical range of this spe­cies. Differences in opinion concerning conspecificity of Sinum haliotoideum with other species of Sinum described from the Indo-Pacific are discussed. S. planulatum (Récluz in Chenu, 1843) = S. planatum (Récluz in Chenu, 1843), S. planum (Philippi, 1844), S. gualterianum (Récluz, 1851), and S. weberi (Bartsch, 1918) are all junior synonyms of S. hali­otoideum (Linnaeus, 1758). S. fuscum (Röding, 1798), S. sin­uatum (Récluz, 1851), S. lacteum (Récluz, 1851), Ectosinum pauloconvexum Iredale, 1931, and S. diauges Kilburn, 1974 are distinct from S. haliotoideum. The status of S. indicum (Gray, 1828) remains uncertain as the type material is prob­ably lost.

Notes on Drymaeus species from Peru (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Bulimulidae), and description of a new species

Authors: V. Mogollón Avila, A.S.H. Breure
Basteria, 83 (1/3): 13-18Published:

Abstract

Critical remarks are made on Drymaeus species, reported from Peru in a study on land snails from National Parks at the eastern side of the Andes. Four of these species (Dry­maeus multilineatus, D. coniformis, D. glaucostomus, all known from Venezuela or Central America, and D. geomet­ricus, known from Colombia) appear to be misidentified as Peruvian species, which thus may lead to incorrect biogeo­graphical interpretations. Correct identifications are given for all the disputed Drymaeus species. Bulimulus (Bulimu­lus) inconspicuus F. Haas, 1949, is now transferred to Dry­maeus (Mesembrinus). Additionaly, a new species, Drymae­us (Drymaeus) verecundus Breure & Mogollón, is described.

Revision of the systematic position of Lindbergia garganoensis Gittenberger & Eikenboom, 2006, with reassignment to Vitrea Fitzinger, 1833 (Gastropoda, Eupulmonata, Pristilomatidae)

Abstract

Lindbergia garganoensis Gittenberger & Eikenboom, 2006, a taxon with mainly a south-Balkan distribution, is the only Italian species assigned to the genus Lindbergia Riedel, 1959. The assignment to this genus, as documented by the pecu­liar spiral microsculpture of the teleoconch, has never been confirmed by anatomical data. Because this species was only known conchologically, a correct, anatomically-based generic classification within the Pristilomatidae was not possible. Due to the availability of some living specimens, the genitalia could be studied and Lindbergia garganoensis assigned its correct placement within the Pristilomatidae. The species is now classified into the genus Vitrea Fitzinger, 1833 because of the following diagnostic characters: absence of an epiphallus, presence of a sarcobelum inside the penis, presence of a vaginal gland and a very small bursa copula­trix.

The limited range of Albinaria latelamellaris in southwestern Turkey with the description of a new subspecies (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Clausiliidae)

Basteria, 83 (1/3): 29-32Published:

Abstract

The range of Albinaria latelamellaris Neubert, 2000 has been found to cover an area only about 10 hectares around its type locality in southwestern Turkey. A new subspe­cies, Albinaria latelamellaris kekovensis subspec. nov., is described from a disjunct population about 9 km away in the coastal Kekova region. The shells of the new subspecies differ from those of the nominal subspecies in their smaller dimensions and denser ribbing.

A sinistral Vallonia pulchella (O.F. Müller, 1774) shell from a Hungarian Quaternary deposit (Gastropoda, Valloniidae)

Basteria, 83 (1/3): 33-34Published:

Abstract

A sinistral (reversed-coiled) specimen of Vallonia pulchel­la is recorded from a Quaternary deposit near Serényfalva, Hungary. Although Vallonia specimens of the exclusively dextral genus Vallonia are encountered in large quantities, both Recent and fossil, this seems to be first reliable record of a sinistral specimen.

The identity of Meioceras elongatum de Folin, 1881 (Gastropoda, Caenogastropoda, Caecidae)

Author: A. Vannozzi
Basteria, 83 (1/3): 35-38Published:

Abstract

Meioceras elongatum de Folin, 1881, has been described from “mers de Chine” (China Seas) and was never recorded thereafter. The three syntypes are not conspecific and have probably a different origin. To stabilize the nomenclature, the specimen best fitting the original description and illus­tration is here selected as lectotype. As a consequence, Mei­oceras elongatum has to be considered a junior synonym of M. nitidum (Stimpson, 1851).

Abstract

Americardia lindamaesae spec. nov. (Cardiidae) is de­scribed from Ascension Island, based on new collections. It is compared with the related Americardia media (Lin­naeus, 1758), A. lightbourni Lee & Huber, 2012, A. columbel­la Lee & Huber, 2012 and A. speciosa (A. Adams & Reeve, 1850).

The non-indigenous window shell Theora lubrica Gould, 1861 (Bivalvia: Cardiida: Semelidae) in the delta area of the Netherlands

Basteria, 83 (1/3): 52-58Published:

Abstract

The non-indigenous bivalve Theora lubrica has been intro­duced to the southwestern delta area of the Netherlands. For several years, it has been misidentified as Abra nitida, a species with similar appearance. Theora lubrica differs from A. nitida in the presence of an internal ridge (from umbo to anteroventral margin) and a bifid cardinal tooth in the left valve. In native and newly colonised areas the bivalve is particularly a successful competitor at sites with periodical hypoxic conditions. Ecology and invasiveness are discussed.

The malacological publications of Jules-René Bourguignat: a bibliography

Authors: R.A. Bank, G. Falkner, M. Falkner, E. Neubert
Basteria, 83 (1/3): 59-90Published:

Abstract

An overview is given of the malacological papers published by the Frenchman Jules-René Bourguignat (29.viii.1829 – 3.iv.1892). Because of the Principle of Priority, special attention is given to publication dates, as Bourguignat in­troduced > 2500 taxa in the ‘Golden Age’, a period in mal­acology in which many new species were discovered. Five portraits of Bourguignat are reproduced, and reproduc­tions are provided of the rare plates 13-15 of the 1880 fasci­cule of his Matériaux sur les Acéphales. Publication dates are given for the three journals published by the Société Malacologique de France.
