Nomenclator of Bivalve Families with a Classification of Bivalve Families

ABSTRACT Some 1,048 names at the rank of subtribe, tribe, subfamily, family and superfamily have been proposed for Recent and fossil bivalves. All names are listed in a nomenclator giving full bibliographical reference, date of publication, type genus, and their nomenclatural availability and validity under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Another 274 names, established for categories above the family-group are listed separately. A working classification attempts to group all bivalve family-group names into a single system based on current hypotheses of relations and synonymies. At several rank levels, the groups are given in alphabetical rather than some assumed phylogenetic arrangement, reflecting current uncertainties and conflicting results from anatomical, molecular, and fossil data. Altogether, the classification recognizes as valid a total of 324 families, of which 214 are known exclusively as fossils and 110 occur in the Recent with or without a fossil record.

Molluscan Names And Malacological Contributions Of Wolfgang Karl Weyrauch (1907–1970) With A Brief Biography

Wolfgang Karl Weyrauch (1907–1970) studied land and freshwater gastropods of South America, mainly taxa belonging to the families Camaenidae, Charopidae, Clausiliidae, Endodontidae, Helicinidae, “Hydrobiidae”, Orthalicidae, Pupillidae, Scolodontidae, Subulinidae, and Urocoptidae. Here we list the 198 molluscan names introduced by Weyrauch and all of his publications of malacological interest. A brief biography of Weyrauch and a list of taxa named for him are also provided.

The Publications and Malacological Taxa of William Wood (1774–1857)

ABSTRACT William Wood (1774–1857), trained as a physician, soon turned his attention to natural history book publication and sales. Working in London, his chief malacological publications were the General conchology (1814–1815; reprinted in 1835), two editions of the Index testaceologicus (1818, 1823–1825; the latter reprinted in 1828), and a Supplement (1828) to the Index containing many new species. He made available 282 specific names, of which 109 are now considered valid. Type lots of many of his species are present in The Natural History Museum, London, some newly located during the present study.

The Molluscan Taxa Made Available In the Griffith & Pidgeon (1833–1834) Edition Of Cuvier, With Notes On the Editions Of Cuvier and On Wood's Index testaceologicus

This paper reviews the new taxa made available by Gray in the Griffith & Pidgeon (1833–1834) English translation of Cuviers famous Le règne animal 1830, as well as the taxa attributed, correctly or incorrectly, to Gray in this work. We discuss various complications concerning the dating and authorship of these taxa, and some new information is provided about their type material. Six generic names date from this work, five of them now considered valid. Sixty-five species names were made available, of which 44 are now considered valid, although some of these have not been recognized in recent literature, and one is a nomen dubium; 21 are placed in synonymy because they are junior synonyms, preoccupied homonyms, or unused senior synonyms that have been or should be suppressed.

The Malacological Works and Taxa of Sylvanus Hanley (1819–1899)

ABSTRACT The malacological works of Sylvanus Hanley (and his relative Charles Thorpe) are discussed and their dates in some cases clarified. The taxa that first appear in these works are listed, their type specimens noted when known, and the current status of the available taxa discussed. Of the 375 species-group names that first appear in these works, 367 are available, and 8 are nomina nude. Of the 367 available species-group taxa, approximately 219 are now considered valid. Approximately 60% of the available species are represented by type material, mainly in the Natural History Museum in London and in the Leeds City Museum in Leeds, U.K. Hanley also described several genus-group and family-group names, some of which are still considered valid.

The Malacological Contributions of Rudolph Amandus Philippi (1808–1904)

ABSTRACT Rudolph Amandus Philippi (known in Chile as Rodulfo Amando Philippi), was one of the longest-lived and most prolific malacologists of the 19th century, as his scientific work began in Germany in the 1830s and continued unabated until his death in Chile in 1904. Philippi contributed significantly to malacology: he described over 2,500 new taxa of Recent and fossil molluscs from around the world (2,528 species, 40 genera and three families), particularly from Italy and Chile, and discussed numerous taxa described by other authors. Philippi initially published primarily on Recent and fossil molluscs from Europe in the 1830s, then expanded to marine molluscs from around the world by the 1840s. In 1851, Philippi escaped the German Revolution by emigrating to Chile, where in 1853 he became the director of what is now the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (Santiago) and a professor at the Universidad de Chile. Philippis contributions to malacology after his move to Chile were primarily on the fossil molluscs of Chile. Philippi also made significant contributions to the systematics of numerous other animal taxa as well as in botany. In a companion paper (Kabat & Coan, 2017), we provide an analysis of Philippis life and scientific contributions. This paper catalogs Philippis malacological publications and taxa.

The Life and Work of Rudolph Amandus Philippi (1808–1904)

ABSTRACT This paper provides a biography of Rudolph Amandus Philippi (1808–1904), emphasizing his malacological research and his contributions to the natural history of Chile. Philippi is one of the most important, yet overlooked malacologists of the 19th century. He authored significant publications on the Recent and fossil molluscs of Sicily; the Oligocene fossil molluscs of northern Germany; the Jurassic to Recent molluscs of Chile, and marine molluscs from around the world. Philippi was also an instrumental contributor to both the Zeitschrift für Malakozoologie and the second edition of the Systematisches Conchylien-Cabinet, and he founded the Abbildungen und Beschreibungen neuer oder wenig gekannter Conchylien. In a companion paper (Coan & Kabat, 2017), we provide an annotated catalog of the 2,528 species, 40 genera and 3 families that he described in the Mollusca, and a full bibliography, with collations, of Philippis numerous malacological publications.
