We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Batillaria cumingi. The B. cumingi mitochondrial genome is 16,100 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The nucleotide composition for B. cumingi is 17.5% of C, 16.88% of G, 35.3% of T, and 30.31% of A. In 13 protein-coding genes, all genes start with ATG. For the stop codon, the cox2 gene stops with TTC, the cytb, nad1, and nad2 genes stop with TAG, and the other nine genes are with TAA. Of these 37 genes identified, nine protein-coding genes and six transfer RNA genes are encoded on the heavy strand and the other genes on the light strand. The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on 13 protein-coding genes of the B. cumingi and other 19 Gastropoda species, Sepia latimanus as outgroup using the Neighbour-joining method. The tree showed that the B. cumingi is closely related to the Semisulcospira coreana in Cerithioidea. We believe that this result will be helpful for the study of population genetic and phylogenetic analysis of the family Batillariidae.

Genomic analysis of the invasive marine snail Batillaria attramentaria from Elkhorn Slough, Moss Landing, California, USA using 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequences resulted in the assembly of its complete mitogenome. The mitogenome is 16,095 bp in length and contains 2 rRNA, 13 protein-coding, and 22 tRNA genes (GenBank Accession MN557850). Gene content and organization of B. attramentaria are identical to the Turritellidae and Pachychilidae. The phylogenetic analysis of B. attramentaria resolves it in a fully supported clade with these same two families in the superfamily Cerithioidea. Nucleotide BLAST searches of the Elkhorn Slough cox1 gene of B. attramentaria yielded identical sequences from invasive populations from California and British Columbia, and native populations from northeastern and central Japan. These data show that mitogenome sequencing is a useful tool for studying the classification and phylogenetic history Cerithioidea.

In studied sites this species were found mud and sand banks of mangrove streams. Distribution in Vietnam. Central coast. Remarks. Recently the presence of an undescribed species, often referred to as Batillaria zonalis was revealed by molecular data ( Ozawa et al. 2009). This new species was recorded from Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, while true B. zonalis was not yet found in Vietnam. In the absence of molecular data we are unable to identify our species. At least some of published records of B. zonalis are the records of this new still unnamed species. Therefore the published data on ecology and distribution may apply both to B. zonalis and B. n. sp., Published as part of Zvonareva, Sofya & Kantor, Yuri, 2016, Cheсklist of gastropod molluscs in mangroves of Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam, pp. 401-437 in Zootaxa 4162 (3) on page 412, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4162.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/254973, {"references":["Zvonareva, S., Kantor Yu., Xinzheng, L. & Britayev, T.

An assemblage of gastropods from the Thanetian of the Kolosh Formation from the Zakho region in northern Iraq is documented for the first time. The ten species represent the families Campanilidae Douville 1904, Potamididae H. & A. Adams 1854, Batillariidae Thiele 1929, Thiaridae Gill 1871, Pachychilidae Fischer & Crosse 1892, Cerithiidae Fleming 1822 and Pseudolividae de Gregorio 1880, suggesting a littoral to shallow sublittoral depositional environment. Six of the species are new and five are formally described as new species. At least seven species are also known from the Thanetian and/or Early Ypresian of the Ankara region in Turkey. Only a single species occurs also in the Paleocene of the Paris Basin. No relation to Paleocene and Eocene faunas of Pakistan and India is detectable. This points to a considerably bioprovincialism along the northern coast of the Tethys. Consequently we suppose the existence of an Anatolian Province in the Thanetian/Ypresian Mediterranean Region of the Tethys Realm, represented by rather homogeneous mollusc faunas from western Turkey and northern Iraq. Campanile zakhoense nov. sp., Pyrazopsis hexagonpyramidalis nov. sp., Pachymelania islamogluae nov. sp., “Faunus” dominicii nov. sp. and Pseudoaluco mesopotamicus nov. sp. are introduced as new species. Varicipotamides Pacaud & Harzhauser nov. nom. is proposed as the replacement name for Exechestoma Cossmann (1889) non Brandt (1837).

The Batillariidae are a family of cerithioidean gastropods consisting of 14 living species, classified in six to eight genera. They are abundant on sandy mudflats and sometimes on rocky shores, on continental margins in the warm-temperate to tropical regions of the northwestern Pacific Ocean, Australasia and the Americas. Using samples from all 14 nominal batillariid species, we present a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis constructed from two genes, mitochondrial 16S rRNA and nuclear 28S rRNA, with taxa from four marine cerithioidean families as outgroups (Cerithiidae, Modulidae, Planaxidae, Potamididae). The Batillariidae as traditionally conceived are not monophyletic, because the Neotropical ‘batillariids’Lampanella and Rhinocoryne are sister to the Planaxidae. The monophyletic Batillariidae sensu stricto are restricted to the northwestern Pacific and Australasia; we suggest a revised generic classification consistent with our phylogenetic hypothesis and recognize the four genera Batillaria, Pyrazus, Velacumantus and Zeacumantus. We propose a definition of the family using shell characters, as a basis for a review of the extensive fossil record. Batillariids appeared in the Late Cretaceous or Palaeocene, and the extinct genera Pyrazopsis, Vicinocerithium and Granulolabium became diverse in the Tethyan realm before the group disappeared from Europe at the end of the Miocene. The Batillariidae s. s. reached Australia and New Zealand by the Late Oligocene, and the genera Pyrazus, Velacumantus and Zeacumantus still survive in this refugium of Tethyan fauna. Two lineages, Batillaria and the extinct Tateiwaia, migrated north to China and Japan in the Early Miocene, to establish the present disjunct distribution of this relictual group in southern Australasia and the Oriental region.

The cercariae and sporocysts (or rediae) of four trematode species are described from the intertidal snail Zeacumantus subcarinatus: a distome xiphidiocercaria assigned to the genus Renicola (family Renicolidae); a monostome xiphidiocercaria belonging either to the genus Microphallus or Megalophallus (family Microphallidae); a magnacercous cercaria of the genus Galactosomum (family Hetero‐phyidae); and a cercaria of the genus Philophthalmus (family Philophthalmidae). The morphological features of these cercariae are compared to previously described cercariae of the same genera. In addition, since the philophthalmid cercaria encysts readily on artificial substrates in the laboratory, the metacercaria of this species is also described. These cercariae are part of a diverse community of at least six digenean species parasitising the snail Z. subcarinatus that, together, have a major impact on the ecology and evolution of this snail.

Two batillariid and four potamidid species from the middle to upper Middle Miocene Kukinaga Group, Tanegashima Island, southwest Japan are described systematically. Of these, the two batillariid species are new to science. Batillariids and potamidids from the Kukinaga Group are composed of three elements: (1) survivors from the late Early to early Middle Miocene, (2) species confined to the middle to late Middle Miocene, and (3) earliest records of living species. The occurrence of Vicarya japonica Yabe and Hatai from the Kukinaga Group marks the last appearance of the species in the Neogene of Japan, and the presence of Telescopium telescopium (Linne) and Cerithidea (Cerithideopsilla) cingulata (Gmelin) marks their first appearance in the Neogene in the Indo-Pacific region. The Kukinaga molluscan fauna, characterized by the occurrence of these gastropods, flourished during the Middle Miocene along the Pacific coast of southwestern Japan under the strong influence of a paleo-Kuroshio warm current...

The Latady Group (southern Antarctic Peninsula) hosts the most diverse assemblage of Jurassic molluscs from this continent. A new gastropod mollusc, Silberlingiella latadyensis sp. nov. and three forms assigned to Rissoidae, Pseudomelaniidae and Bullinidae from the Middle-Late Jurassic, Bathonian–Kimmeridgian Hauberg Mountains Formation, Ellsworth Land, Antarctic Peninsula are described here. Silberlingiella is transferred to Eustomatidae and is the first confirmed record of this family in the Southern Hemisphere, indicating a much more widespread Jurassic distribution. The Triassic and Jurassic species of Silberlingiella are compared with the coeval European genus Diatinostoma. Eustomatidae is proposed as an ancestral group for Potamididae and Batillariidae. The composition of the gastropod association described herein differs markedly from the only other Antarctic Jurassic fauna from Alexander Island.

Population structure and spatial distribution with growth of the direct-developing gastropod, Batillaria cumingi, were investigated on two shores of differing substrata. Sand-mud shore and rocky shore populations differed in size structure; first-year snails were ca. 7 mm in shell length (SL) in both populations, whereas second-year snails, merging with older cohorts, measured 15‐25 mm SL in the sand-mud shore population and ca. 15 mm SL in the rocky shore population. Egg distribution matched adult distribution in the sand-mud shore population, but was more restricted than that of adults in the rocky shore population. The distribution of newly-hatched juveniles (0‐1 mm SL) was restricted in both populations, but the growth stage at which snails extended their distribution differed between the two populations; 1‐2.5 mm SL on the sand-mud shore and . 5 mm SL on the rocky shore. Floating achieved by early juveniles (ca. 2 mm SL), was commonly observed in the sand-mud population, but rarely in the rocky shore population. The sudden expansion in distribution of the 1‐2.5 mm SL growth stage in the sand-mud shore population is considered to have been caused by floating, while expansion of the distribution of older growth stages (. 5 mm SL) in the rocky shore population probably occurs by crawling.

Midgut morphology of gastropod molluscs has been underutilized as a resource of characters for phylogenetic analysis. The exclusion of these features reflects the inference that they will be uninformative in determining phylogenetic relationships because they are functionally correlated. In general, it has been hypothesized that the style sac form of midgut is an adaptation to microphagy and becomes secondarily simplified in taxa that have adopted a macrophagous/carnivorous habit with a corresponding increase in extracellular digestion (i.e. radular trituration, gizzards and/or foregut glands). This assumption has resulted in the formulation of adaptive scenarios concerning gastropod alimentary systems, which are mapped onto phylogenetic hypotheses derived from other characters. However, any conclusions regarding phylogenetic utility, and therefore homology, must be realized within a cladistic context. For this analysis, a multi-organ system anatomical data set was assembled for 16 caenogastropods and two outgroups. The data matrix comprises 64 characters and includes many systems poorly represented in previous broad-based comparative surveys, such as the alimentary and reno-pericardial systems. In addition, several taxa were included for which no comprehensive anatomical studies have been available (Cyclophoroidea, Ptenoglossa). Phylogenetic analysis with NONA 1.6 resulted in two most-parsimonious trees with length 188, CI = 0.53 and RI = 0.63, differing only in the placement of Prunum apicinum and Conus jaspideus. The topology of the strict consensus (Macleaniella Theodoxus((Neocyclotus Marisa)((Lampanella((Petaloconchus Strombus)(Crepidula Bithyia)))(Littorina(Neverita(Cypraea(Nitidiscala(Panarona(Prunum Conus(Ilyanassa Urosalpinx)))))))))), is largely congruent with several independent estimates based on both morphological and molecular data, supporting caenogastropod monophyly and monphyly of the Architaenioglossa, Sorbeoconcha and Neogastropoda. To evaluate phylogenetic utility of the midgut, a broad sampling of taxa was included representing a diversity of feeding modes, food preferences and alimentary morphologies. Character optimization revealed that the evolution of midgut structure is highly mosaic, cutting broadly across patterns of feeding, diet and foregut complexity, to a degree previously unappreciated. In addition, features from the foregut (subradular organ, oesophageal folding) and midgut (position of gastric shield) are broadly distributed among large clades of caenogastropods, providing critical basal synapomorphies within the group. This demonstrates that the gut is an unexploited resource for important and informative characters in higher order systematics of caenogastropods. © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003, 137, 447–554.
