Abstract

Members of the family Epitonidae are small to medium in size, difficult to identify and most complicated among gastropods and occurring from the lower inter tidal zone to abyssal sea beds (Nakayama, 2003). The described shells are bold with minute sculptures, and most species recorded from the west coast of India, are known from empty shells. Their hosts being unknown, the differences between species are often slight, so their identification is often a matter for the specialists. Morphological characters are reckoned for confirmation up to species level and The species which are documented here are all new records from India, being previously not known from literature.

Abstract

During the course of our regular faunistic surveys along Indian coast we have made collections from Gujarat, Sundarbans in West Bengal and from Kakinada Bay in Andhra Pradesh. After identification of the mollusc collections from these localities we have found that two gastropods species, namely Salinator fragilis (Lamarck), and Pseudonoba columen (Melvill) are new records. The first mentioned is a new record from India and the later is a new record for Gujarat as well as from India. This is a significant finding and we give below a systematic description of the two species.

Abstract

In this paper, we have made an attempt to update knowledge on marine molluscs of India of various individual families and to compile the collections present in NZC, both Indian and foreign specimens and presenting an account of the families with as much as details possible on them. This is the sixth in the series of our contributions, and the earlier five were done by Zoological Survey of Indian's malacologist on the families Mitridae (Subba Rao and Dey, 1984) and Donacidae (Subba Rao and Dey, 1986), Muricidae (Subba Rao and Surya Rao, 1993), Tellinidae (Dey, 2006), Terebridae (Venkitesan and Mukhopadhyay, 2011).

Abstract

Among the various classes, Bivalvia is considered as the most primitive in the phylum Mollusca and is an important element of benthic epifauna. Bivalvia restricted their distribution to aquatic habitats both in the freshwater and marine environment. A total of 646 species of marine bivalves have been reported from India under 171 genera, 11 order and 69 families (Ramakrishna and Dey, 2010). In this paper, we have described three new records of Bivalves for the first time from West Coast of India.
