Book Description
Covers all of the new names created by Pilsbry & his co-authors for both Recent & Fossil forms in the Mollusca & Crustacea. These names range in taxa from those above the family level to subspecies, varieties & forms. This work had its inception when the authors found it necessary to ¿card out¿ the new names which Pilsbry had instituted so that these names might be used in their own current problems of research in the field of malacology. As time went on, this catalogue increased in size & became a source of information to the staff. Its publication has make available a large file of data not easily located elsewhere. He introduced 5,680 names over a period of 75 years; he introduced more names than any other student in the field of malacology.

Annotated type catalogue of the Bulimulidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Orthalicoidea) in the Natural History Museum, London
Author: Abraham S.H. Breure
Publisher: PenSoft Publishers LTD
ISBN: 9546427241
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
The family Bulimulidae is a dominant land snail family in the Neotropics, with more than 1000 nominal taxa described. Revisionary work has only partially been done, but many genera need further revisionary work for which a sound taxonomic basis is needed. Type specimens for more than 400 taxa of this family are present in the Natural History Museum, London, U.K., and are documented in this paper. For each taxon the relevant literature is cited, type locality, label, the provenance of the specimens, and the current systematic position; photographs of nearly all type specimens and labels are also provided.

Conus of the Southeastern United States and Caribbean
Author: Alan J. Kohn
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069113538X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Conus is the largest genus of animals in the sea, occurring throughout the world's tropical and subtropical oceans and contributing significantly to marine biodiversity. The shells of these marine mollusks are prized for their amazing variety and extraordinary beauty. The neurotoxic venoms they produce—injected by a hollow, harpoon-like tooth into prey animals that are then paralyzed and swallowed whole—have a range of pharmaceutical applications, from painkillers to antidepressants. This beautifully illustrated book identifies 53 valid species of the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, a region that supports a diverse but taxonomically challenging group of Conus. Introductory chapters cover the evolution and phylogeny of the genus, and notes on methodology are provided. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, taxonomy, distribution, ecology, toxicology, life history, and evolutionary relationships. The book includes more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 splendid color plates; more than 100 additional photos, many depicting live animals in color; and 35 color distribution maps. Identifies 53 valid species—the first reassessment of western Atlantic Conus in more than seventy years Features more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 color plates Blends the traditional shell-character approach to identification with cutting-edge shell and radular tooth morphometrics and molecular genetic analyses Includes color images of live animals as well as color distribution maps
