Two new fossil species of digitate shells from the family Strombidae were discovered in Java, Indonesia, in the Middle Miocene. Conchylia 55(1-2), April 2024
Article
We document three species of Tibia from the European Oligocene and Miocene, which probably form an anagenetic lineage. Two of them that are found in Europe are revised (Tibia dentata, T. ordalensis), and a new species is described (Tibia cluzaudi sp. nov.). The paleogeographical background is discussed, and challenges for future research are identi...

A new species of the fossil strombid genus Spinatus is described. Further species are added to the genus, thanks a newly identified particular character. Für die fossile strombide Gattung Spinatus wird eine neue Art beschrieben. Weitere Arten, die sich durch ein neu identifiziertes Merkmal zuordnen lassen, werden dem Genus hinzugefügt.

This revision of the genus Canarium Schumacher, 1817 after Abbott (1960) advances our understanding of the phylogeny of Strombidae. Morphological characters were used to generate a phylogeny using maximum likelihood and including all of the recognised species. This resulted in the recognition of one tree, and within that tree the existing genera Ca...

Although some authors have expressed doubts, the nominal species Strombus maculatus G. B. SOWERBY II, 1842 is generally considered to have an extensive very wide distribution range in the Pacific, stretched from the Hawaiian chain in the north and Palau in the west to Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island or Isla de Pasqua, in the southeast. Based...

A new strombid genus (Spinatus gen. nov.) is described from the Miocene of Indonesia. Two new species of Spinatus from the middle and upper Miocene of Indonesia are described: S. echinatus spec. nov. and S. wonosariensis spec. nov. The former is selected as the type species of Spinatus. A third species, Strombus (Strombus) tjilonganensis Martin, 18...

Recent endemic Aporrhaidae from West Africa are discussed. Based on morphological and biogeo- graphical analysis, three species are recognised, viz. Aporrhais senegalensis J. E. GRAY, 1838; A. pes- gallinae BARNARD, 1963 and A. elegantissima PARENZAN, 1970; two further morphs cannot be attributed to either of these species, and because these sp...

There has been confusion on the status of Terebellum delicatum Kuroda & Kawamoto in Kawamoto & Tanabe 1956, which has often erroneously been referred to as a colour form of Terebellum terebellum Linné 1758. The taxon T. delicatum is revised, giving precision regarding authorship, and a translation of the original Japanese description with a further...

A putative hybrid Lobatus gigas × L. costatus is reported from South Andros Island, Bahamas. It is compared with the putative parental species, and compared with the description of Strombus samba CLENCH, 1937, and other Lobatus taxa. Genera names introduced by PETUCH (1994) are briefly discussed. Zusammenfassung Über einen möglichen Hybrid Lobatus...

The paper deals with a small collection of marine fossils, almost entirely composed of Molluscs, created by Ludovico Foresti (1829–1913) and now owned by the Natural Science Museum of Faenza (Italy).

A new species of the family Strombidae, Margistrombus simanoki n. sp. is described based on shells coming from Indonesia, and compared to the other species of the same genus, particularly to the partially sympatric M. robustus (G.B.Sowerby III, 1875). Strombus (Dolomena) sowerbyorum Visser & Man in't Veld, 2005 is here synonimised with M. robustus....

It is argued that the nominal taxon Strombus labiosus Wood, 1828 is a complex of at least two and possibly three species. Strombus labiosus, at present attributed to the genus Dolomena, is redescribed. Dolomena abbotti sp. nov. is described as new to science and thoroughly compared with Dolomena labiosa (Wood, 1828). The new species is known from T...

Based on shell characters, Strombus (Conomurex) coniformis Sowerby II, 1842 can be distinguished from S. (C.) decorus (Röding, 1798). The distribution range of both forms is partly overlapping, without intermediates being known. Therefore both have to be considered valid species. As the type specimens of S. (C.) coniformis are considered lost, a ne...

Another possible hybrid between two species of Strombidae was recently found in the Philippines. Judging from conchological characters, the parental species are Euprotomus bulla (Roeding, 1798) and Euprotomus chrysostomus (Kuroda, 1942).
Article
the article was my first, reporting a putative hybrid between Euprotomus bulla and E. chrysostomus, from Philippines
