... Known only from the type locality. Splendrillia candidu/us (Hedley, 1922), discussed by Wells (1990), is similar in size to C. costatus and C. undatus (Hedley, 1907) (discussed below), but is readily separated by its higher spire, more numerous whorls, smaller body whorl, and less inflated aperture. ...

Species of the drilliine genera Clavus (16 species), Plagiostropha (2 species), and Tylotiella (1 species) from Australian waters are revised. Four new species of Clavus are described from off Western Australia. Clavus viduus (Reeve, 1845) is regarded as a synonym of C. unizonalis (Lamarck, 1822). Clavus lamberti (Montrouzier, 1860), C. laetus (Hinds, 1843) and C. obliquatus (Reeve, 1845) and tentatively C. flammulatus Montfort, 1810 are recorded from Australia for the first time. Clavus undatus (Hedley, 1907) from New South Wales is recorded for the first time from Western Australia. The genus Plagiostropha Melvill, 1927 is separated from Clavus. Two species are recorded from Australia, one of which is described as new. Tylotiella pica (Reeve, 1843) is recorded from the Australian Indian Ocean territory of Christmas Island, but not continental Australia.

The Australian members of the vetigastropod family Anatomidae are revised and two new species are described. The family has thus far been treated as a subfamily of Scissurellidae, but recent molecular evidence ( Geiger & Thacker, unpubl. data) indicates that Scissurellinae plus Anatominae is not monophyletic, and full family rank is warranted for a group containing the genera Anatoma and Thieleella. Seven species from Australia belonging in Anatomidae are discussed and illustrated by SEM: Anatoma aupouria ( Powell, 1937) mainly from New Zealand, though with some Australian records; A. australis ( Hedley, 1903), A. funiculata n. sp., An turbinata ( A. Adams, 1862), which has been misidentified in the past as the South African A. agulhasensis ( Thiele, 1925), A. tobeyoides n. sp., Thieleella equatoria ( Hedley, 1899) with a second known specimen, and T. gunteri ( Cotton & Godfrey, 1933). Other species that have been ( erroneously) indicated from Australia are discussed. A neotype is designated for A. agulhasensis from South Africa for taxon stabilization.

Cocculiniform limpets live mostly in aphotic zones of deep-sea areas. In this environment, rather poor in organic nutritients, they have specialized in utilizing different odd food sources. The paper presents the list of all species included in the superfamilies Cocculinoidea Dall, 1882 and Lepetelloidea Dall, 1882. Data on their habitat, food preferences and distribution are also included. Adaptive features in cocculiniform limpets that permit them to assimilate organic nutritients of various origin are also discussed. It is suggested that some expanded parts in their alimentary tracts may be used as “fermentative chambers” in which symbiotic bacteria could change the unassimilable food particles into simple compounds absorbed by limpets.

Specimens of the genera Mathilda and Tuba from New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands are studied, and compared with numerous other nominal mathildid species from the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Diversity is high in this region, with several species showing a much wider distribution in the lndo-Pacific than previously ascertained. Mathilda Semper, 1865 is used sensu lato, including Fimbriatella, Granulicharilda, Marhildona and Opimilda. From the study area thirteen species are diagnosed and compared, and several as yet unnamed forms that need further study are also discussed. Four new species are described, and Mathilda fusca (Okutani & Habe, 1981), previously placed in the turritellid genus Orectospira, is recognized as the largest extant member of the family Mathildidae. Tuba Lea, 1833 is also used sensu lato, including Gegania and Tubena, and is represented by two species (one described as new). Twelve Indo-Pacific species previously referred to as Mathildidae are removed from the family: Mathildona cookiana Dell, 1956 (Epitoniidae); Mathilda elegantula Angas, 1871 (Pyramidellidae ?); M. eurytima Melvill & Standen, 1896 (Cerithiidae); M. gracillima Melvill & Standen, 1901 (Capulidae); M. oppia Hedley, 1907 (Rissoidae); M. opulenta Hedley, 1907 (Cerithiidae); M. rosae Hedley, 1901 (Eulimidae); Eucharilda pleurorbis Laseron, 1951, and Opimilda protolineata Laseron, 1951 (Triphoridae); 0. porrigata Laseron, 1951 (Cerithiopsidae ?); Dunkeria pulchella A. Adams, 1860, and D. scabra A. Adams, 1860 (Epitoniidae).
... Thiele (1929), Wenz (1938) and Powell (1979) regarded Vace"ena as a subgenus of Puncturella, while Keen (1960) synonymized it with that. Wenz 23 and Powell both described gross shell morphology but failed to mention the unusual microsculpture of 'a caducous ochraceous epidermis disposed in oblong grains' noted by Hedley (1907) and regarded as diagnostic by Kilburn (1978). The subgenus remains poorly known and few species at present can be assigned to it with any degree of certainty. ...

Nineteen species (six new) of the genera Emarginula, Emarginella, Puncturella, Fissurisepta and Rimula are discussed; the last two genera represent new records for the area. Scanning electron micrographs of shell microsculpture, radula and protoconch are given where possible; microsculpture appears to be a particularly useful taxonomie character. New species: Emarginula phrygium, E. vindicaria, Puncturella voraginosa, P. serraticosta, Fissurisepta onychoides and Rimula rhips. New synonyms: Emarginula vadum Barnard, 1963 = E. undulata Melvill & Standen, 1903; Fissurisepta joschristiaensi Drivas & Jay, 1985 = Puncturella christiaensi Kilburn, 1978. Revised combination: oppressa Barnard, 1963, is an Emarginula, not an Emarginella. New record: Puncturella aethiopica von Martens, 1902, described from the Zanzibar Channel, occurs off Natal and Transkei.

... They can be separated from the present species on the following characters: T. ferruginosa (host Echinocardium cordatum (Pennant, 1777); NW Europe) has an oblong shell; Tellimya tenella (Loven, 1846) (host Brissopsis lyrifera (Forbes, 1841); NW Europe) is oblong-ovate with very feeble hinge teeth (the left valve almost edentulous). Tellimya vitrea (Hedley, 1907) (host Brissus gigas (Fell, 1947; New Zealand) have the umbones placed distinctly posterior to the middle of the shell, which is marked by numerous sharply elevated riblets radiating from the umbo. Species of Montacuta can be separated from Montacutella echinophila by the large anterior laminate tooth radiating from the umbo. ...

Three species of galeommatoidean bivalves live commensally with Brissus latecarinatus (Echinoidea, Spatangoidea) near Phuket Marine Biological Center, Thailand. Scintillona brissae Morton and Scott (family Galeommatidae) and Montacutella echinophila gen. et sp. n. (family Montacutidae), live on the periproct, have very similar shells, but differ with regard to the number of demibranchs, occurrence of seminal receptacles, and sperm structure. Brachiomya stigmatica (Pilsbry) gen. n. (family Montacutidae), occupies the host's ambulacra. The external morphology and internal anatomy are described. Reproduction involves formation of dimorphic sperm enclosed in syncytial sperm packages produced in the testis and transferred to the gills of a sexual partner. On account of the structure of the animal, the shell hinge, and the sperm, B. stigmatica is transferred from the Galeommatidae to the Montacutidae.

With the objective of testing the monophyly of the Calyptraeoidea and of searching for its ground plan, a detailed morpho-logical analysis was conducted for the following species: a) Family Calyptraeidae, 1) Bostrycapulus aculeatus (Gmelin) (formerly Crepidula); 2) Crepidula aff. plana Say; 3) C. protea Orbigny (these from Brazil); 4) C. aff. protea (from Argentina) (published elsewhere); 5) C. convexa Say (from Venezuela); 6) C. fornicata (L.) (from Europe); 7) Calyptraea centralis (Conrad) (from Brazil); 8) Crucibulum auricula (Gmelin) (from Venezuela); 9) Cr. quiriquinae (Lesson) (from Chile); 10) Trochita trochiformis (Born) (from Chile); 11) Sigapatella calyptraeformis (Lam.) (from New Zealand, formerly Calyptraea); b) Family Hipponicidae, 12) Hipponix costellatus Carpenter (formerly H. grayanus); 13) H. subrufus (Lam.); 14) H. incurvus (Gmelin) (formerly Capulus incurvatus) (these 3 from NE Brazil); 15) H. grayanus Menke (from Mexico and Ecuador); 16) H. leptus n. sp. (N.E. Brazil); 17) Sabia conica (Schumacher); 18) Malluvium devotus (Hedley) (both Australia); 19) Cheilea equestris (L.) (N.E. Brazil); c) Family Capulidae, 20) Capulus sycophanta Garrard (Australia); d) Family Trichotropidae, 21) Trichotropis cancellata Hinds (W. USA); 22) T. borealis Broderip & Sowerby (N. Atlantic); 23) T. sp. (Alaska); e) Family Vanikoridae, 24) Vanikoro sp. (Australia). A phylogenetic analysis of 112 characters (177 states) from morphology of all systems and organs results in the following single most parsimonious tree: ((Trichotropis cancellata - T. borealis) (Capulus sycophanta (Vanikoro sp ((Cheilea equestris (Sabia conica (Malluvium devotus ((Hipponix grayanus - H. leptus) (H. incurvus (H. costellatus - H. subrufus)))))) (Sigapatella calyptraeformis (Trochita trochiformis (Calyptraea centralis ((Crucibulum auricula - Cr. quiriquinae) (Bostrycapulus aculeatus (Crepidula argentina (C. convexa (C. fornicata (C. aff. plana - C. protea))))))))))))). Length: 267, CI: 67, RI: 88. Outgroups from other caenogastropod superfamilies were used as well as some archaeogastropod groups. The main result is the monophyly of Calyptraeoidea supported by 27 synapomorphies with basal Caenogastropoda used as the outgroup (Cerithioidea, Hydrobioidea), and 21 synapomorphies when Stromboidea and Cypraeoidea were used as outgroups. Calyptraeoidea includes, succes-sively along the tree, the following monophyletic families: Trichotropidae, Capulidae, Vanikoridae, Hipponicidae and Calyptraeidae. The hipponicid affinity of Cheilea is confirmed. Some taxonomic problems found in the sampled representatives (as mentioned above), were partially resolved.

The taxonomy of the uncoiling "worm-snails" belonging to the marine gastropod families Vermetidae, Siliquariidae and Turritellidae is notoriously confused and their nominal species frequently mixed (in the literature as well as in type specimen collections) with members of superficially similar tube-building polychaete worms or members of unrelated molluscan groups. A long history of introducing and using infrasubspecific names and the rampant employment of homonymous names for unrelated taxa had contributed to a system that became unworkable. The current catalogue researches nearly 1,500 names that have been cited in conjunction with Recent and fossil taxa worm-snail taxonomy (six names above family-group level, 18 family-group names, 195 genus-group names, 1,278 species-group names). Each name’s validity and availability (in the sense of the I.C.Z.N. Code) was investigated and current placement within or outside the mentioned worm-snail families is suggested. 560 species-group names are interpreted as available for members of the worm-snail groups here under discussion. Of these, approximately 280 species-group names are available for extant taxa. Various formal First-Reviser actions are taken to resolve priority issues. The type species for Tulaxoda Blainville, 1828 is herein designated to be Serpulorbis polyphragma Sasso, 1827, making Tulaxoda an objective junior synonym of Thylacodes Guettard, 1770. Magilus Montfort, 1810 is declared a nomen protectum over Campulotus Guettard, 1770, a nomen oblitum. Recurring nomenclatural issues and those too complex to treat within the regular catalogue entries are discussed in 22 taxa notes. The catalogue is fully referenced in 766 literature titles and eight associated literature notes.

Three new species of Scissurellidae from Australia are described: Incisura auriformis n. sp., Scissurella quadrata n. sp., and Sci. spinosa n. sp. They are compared to other species occurring in Australian waters: I. remota (Iredale, 1924) [+ I. vincentiana ( Cotton, 1959)], I. rosea (Hedley, 1904), Sci. cyprina Cotton & Godfrey, 1938, Sci. declinans Watson, 1886, Sci. evaensis Bandel, 1998 [+ Maxwellella unispirata Bandel, 1998], Sinezona plicata ( Hedley, 1899), Sukashitrochus atkinsoni (Tenison-Woods, 1877), Suk. indonesicus Bandel, 1988 [+ Suk. simplex Bandel, 1998], Suk. pulcher (Petterd, 1884), and Trogloconcha tesselata Kase & Kano, 2002. As under-appreciation of intraspecific variability has resulted in the introduction of synonyms, multiple specimens are illustrated here, along with radulae and distributional maps.

A remarkable similarity in a scaly external (probably calcified periostracal) sculpture between Lower Cambrian limpet-like taxa and a modern septate fissurellid limpet, Vacerrena kesteveni (Hedley), is demonstrated. Both taxa also have cross lamellar shell structure. Taxonomic notes on both the Lower Cambrian and Recent taxa are provided, including a review of the Lower Cambrian Maikhanellidae and the genus Canopoconus.
