Abstract

This paper presents an overview of all holoplanktonic gastropods thus far known from NW Spain. Shells of such molluscs are rarely beached. However, holoplanktonic gastropods may live close to the coast in embayments adjoining deeper water, and shells of several species have been found on beaches along such bays. Seven species are newly recorded from the Cantabrian Sea, one is new for NW Spain. In addition, new records from the Galicia Bank west of the Iberian Peninsula and records from Hendaye, just north of the Spanish-French border, are included.

A remarkable new record of the Iberian freshwater mollusc Corbellaria celtiberica Callot-Girardi & Boeters, 2012 (Gastropoda: Hydrobiidae) in Spain

Abstract

A new, isolated, population of the endemic Iberian hydro­biid Corbellaria celtiberica has been located, based on shells at the eastern foothills of the Iberian System (Province of Castellón, Valencian Community, Spain). The shells are biometrically studied and compared with shells from the type locality and with additional data from the literature. The finding of this new population considerably expands the previously known distribution area of the species.

Abstract

In this paper we update the systematic taxonomy of papers published by our team between 2000-2009 dealing with the Pliocene of Estepona. Four species are described as new, Rimula lobilloensis spec. nov., Macromphalina aline­mulderae spec. nov., Euthriofusus postumus spec. nov., and Andonia wilhelminamariae spec. nov., of which the last also occurs in the Pliocene of Italy. Several new sub­jective synonyms are identified: Cymbium gracile lusitanica Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is junior subjective synonym of Cymbium ibericum Landau & Marquet, 2000. Bolma malakensis Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Bolma castrocarensis (Foresti, 1876). Tribia pliogeometrica Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Tribia hispanica Brunetti, Forli & Vecchi, 2006. Scaphella (Auri­nia) josei Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is junior subjective synonym of Euroscaphella carlae (Landau & Silva, 2006). Pisania plioalboranensis Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is junior subjective synonym of Pisania plioangustata (Sacco, 1904). Columbella sphaerica Lozano­-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a secondary homonym of C. sublachryma var. sphaerica Hervier, 1900, and here considered a junior subjective synonym of Columbella castoris Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006. Pisania baetica Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Pisania magna (Foresti, 1868). Bullia eloisae Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Tritia oblonga (Sassi, 1827). Nassa andonae Bellardi, 1882 is taken out of synonymy with N. producta Bellardi, 1882.
