ABSTRACT
A new southwestern Atlantic species belonging to genus Tri-
tonoharpa is described from northeastern and southeastern
Brazil. Tritonoharpa curvapex new species has a strongly
deviated nucleus in the protoconch, which is the main feature
that distinguishes it from the remaining congeners from the
western Atlantic. Shell dimensions and number of cords in the
teleoconch also distinguish this new species from the other
Tritonoharpa. An overview of the remaining extant Tritono-
harpa from the western Atlantic is also presented. We provide
taxonomical remarks, illustrations and the known distribution of
Tritonoharpa lanceolata (Menke, 1828), Tritonoharpa cuba-
patriae (Sarastia, 1975), Tritonoharpa bayeri (Petuch, 1987),
Tritonoharpa leali Harasewych, Petit, and Verhecken, 1992 and
Tritonoharpa janowskyi Petuch and Sargent, 2011.

tritoninae, taxonomy
INTRODUCTION
The family Cancellariidae Forbes and Hanley, 1851 consists
of marine gastropods and is known from all oceans (Lima
et al., 2007), but the majority of the species are tropical or
temperate (Harasewych and Petit, 2011). This family cur-
rently comprises about 350 extant species (MolluscaBase,
2020) and presents a great variety of shell features (Modica
et al., 2011b). Most recent classifications include three
subfamilies: Cancellariinae Forbes and Hanley, 1851,
Admetinae Troschel, 1865 and Plesiotritoninae Beu and
Maxwell, 1987 (Modica et al., 2011b; Bouchet et al., 2017).
Among the Plesiotritoninae, the genus Tritonoharpa
Dall, 1908 is one of the most diverse with 19 extant valid
species (MolluscaBase, 2018). Five species of Tritono-
harpa are known from the western Atlantic: T. lanceolata
(Menke, 1828), T. cubapatriae (Sarastia, 1975), T. bayeri
(Petuch, 1987), T. leali Harasewych, Petit and Verhecken,
1992 and T. janowskyi Petuch and Sargent, 2011. Tri-
tonoharpa lanceolata is currently known from several
localities in the western Atlantic, occurring from the
eastern USA to southeastern Brazil (Beu and Maxwell,
1987; Rios, 2009). Tritonoharpa cubapatriae is known
from Cuba and Panama (Caribbean coast) (Sarastia, 1975;
Lee, 2009). Tritonoharpa bayeri and T. janowskyi are
known only from their type localities off Caribbean
Colombia and Florida, USA, respectively. Tritonoharpa
leali is currently restricted to the states of Bahia, Espirito
Santo, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Harasewych et al., 1992:
Absalao et al., 2006). Thus, until now T. lanceolata and T.
leali are the only species recorded in Brazil (Harasewych
et al., 1992: Absalao et al., 2006; Rios, 2009).
Verhecken (1991) commented on the scarcity of rec-
ords or descriptions of Cancellariidae in the western
Atlantic south of the Equator, but since then reports on
cancellariids from Brazil increased considerably, espe-
cially in deep-sea studies (Harasewych et al., 1992;
Simone and Birman, 2006; Barros and Lima, 2007; Barros
and Petit, 2007; Lima et al., 2007). Recent surveys of
malacological collections in Brazil revealed an unde-
scribed species of Tritonoharpa from the coast of Brazil
and the need for a revision of other known congeners in
the western Atlantic. We formally describe Tritonoharpa
curvapex new species and provide taxonomical com-
ments on the other western Atlantic Tritonoharpa.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The material studied consists mostly of empty shells
deposited in malacological collections, collected by vari-
ous oceanographic expeditions and smaller collecting
events. The largest expeditions are: 1. REVIZEE Central:
“Programa de Avaliagéo do Potencial Sustentavel de
Recursos Vivos da Zona Econémica Exclusiva, Score
Central” (Program of Evaluation of the Sustainable
Page 96
Potential of Living Resources in the Economic Exclusive
Zone), carried out by “Ministério do Meio Ambiente”,
Brazilian government, samples collected by the research
vessel (R/V) ANTARES and the supply-boat AsTRO GAROUPA
between 1996-2002; 2. BPOT MR: “Projeto de Caracter-
izagao e Monitoramento Ambiental da Bacia Potiguar —
Malha Regional” (Project of Environmental Characterization
and Monitoring of Potiguar Basin — Regional Grid), carried
out by Petrobras SA, samples collected by the supply-
boat AsTRO Garoupa between 2002-2004; 3. AMBES:
“Caracterizagaéo Ambiental Marinha da Bacia do Espirito
Santo e porcaéo Norte da Bacia de Campos” (Marine envi-
ronmental characterization of the Espirito Santo Basin and
North part of Campos Basin), carried out by Petrobras SA,
samples collected by the R/V LUKE THoMas and R/V SEwarD
JouNson, between 2010-2013.
Most shells were photographed (using focus stacking)
by an AxioCam ICc 5 camera coupled to a stereomi-
croscope ZEISS Discovery.V20. A few shells were studied
under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) Jeol JSM-
6390LV for a detailed examination of sculpture. Shell
measurements are: shell length (SL), body whorl length
(BWL), aperture length (AL), shell width (SW), aperture
width (AW), protoconch height (PCH) and width (PCW).
The counting of protoconch whorls follows Verduin
(1982) and Verhecken (2007). Some shells were treated
with mineral oil to enhance the color pattern.

Due to the recent fire at the Museu Nacional in Brazil
(Zamudio et al., 2018) most lots from this institution listed
in the material examined here, in addition to lots lent from
other institutions, were destroyed. Destroyed specimens
(spm) or shells (sh) are marked by a dagger (f) in the
material examined of each species.

Etymology: Curvus, Latin for bent; apex, Latin for tip;
referring to the strongly deviated nucleus of the protoconch.
Distribution: Brazil: From Pernambuco to Espirito
Santo. Empty shells from depths between 30 m to 50 m.
Remarks: The holotype IBUFR] 5430 (Figures 14) and
the paratype IBUFRJ 9525 of T. curvapex are safely
preserved in the IBUFRB]J collection. The other paratypes
(Figures 6-9) were destroyed by the fire. To avoid the
designation of a destroyed specimen as the holotype, the
shell of IBUFRJ 5430 was selected as the holotype despite
the imprecise locality of collection.
Tritonoharpa curvapex differs from all other western
Atlantic species of the genus in having a conspicuous
protoconch in which the nucleus is strongly deviated
(Figures 4, 9). This newly described species is most similar
to T. bayeri (Figures 23-27) based on the general shape and
on having an aperture that is not very constricted posteri-
orly. The protoconch of the holotype of T. bayeri (USNM
Page 98
859853) is partially broken (Figures 25, 26), but it is possible
to note that the nucleus is not deviated as in T. curvapex.
Tritonoharpa curvapex can also be distinguished from T.
bayeri by the relatively smaller dimensions of the shell
(12.7 mm long, 5.2 mm wide vs. 16.2 mm long, 7.6 mm
wide, respectively, both with 5 whorls) and by the smaller
number of axial ribs between varices of the last whorl (11 ws.
16-18). These species also differ by their color pattern, T.
curvapex has brownish spots like T. bayeri, but also some
spiral bands (Figure 5) that are not present in T. bayeri.
Tritonoharpa curvapex also resembles Tritonoharpa
ponderi Beu and Maxwell, 1987, from Australia, and Tri-
tonoharpa caunbonensis Pacaud, Ledon, and Loubry, 2015,
an extinct species from the Eocene of Paris Basin, because
these species also have a strongly deviated protoconch (Beu
and Maxwell, 1987: pl. 18, fig. E, I; Pacaud et al., 2015: pl. 10,
fig. LE). However, T. curvapex can be distinguished from T.
ponderi by the abrupt increase in diameter of the teleoconch,
which occurs more gradually in T. ponderi. Tritonoharpa
curvapex can be distinguished from T. caunbonensis by its
relatively larger size (holotype of T. curvapex, IBUFRJ 5430,
~6 whorls, 12.7 mm long, 5.2 mm wide, SL/SW= 2.4 vs.
holotype of T. caunbonensis, MNHN.F.A51472, ~7 whorls,
10 mm long, 3.9 mm wide, SL/SW= 2.6), and in having
thinner varices and a narrower inner lip.

Type Locality: Puerto Rico (Menke, 1828).
Type Material: Probably lost. After K.T. Menke’s death his
collection was sold and dispersed (Zilch, 1967; Kohn, 1988).
The most probable place to find would be the SMF,
however there is no material that seems to belong to
Menke’s material of T. lanceolata (Sigrid Hof, pers. comm. ).

probably lost. The original description is not very infor-
mative and the species was not figured by Menke (1828),
consequently the true identity of T. lanceolata is chal-
lenging to assess despite being frequently cited in the
literature. We have examined one shell from Puerto Rico,
area of the type locality which was not precisely defined,
but this specimen is severely worn (Figure 12). We follow
here the description of Beu and Maxwell (1987) and
Harasewych et al. (1992) to recognize T. lanceolata.
Tritonoharpa lanceolata usually has slightly distorted
teleoconch whorls (Figures 10-14, 16) in comparison to
its congeners and reaches a larger size. Beu and Maxwell
(1987) described a variation of the teleoconch sculpture in
T. lanceolata, in which axial and spiral cords vary from
narrow to thick, resulting in different degrees of

nodulation. Harasewych et al. (1992: 45, fig. 8) depicted a
detail of the sculpture of T. lanceolata, showing spiral
cords more pronounced and thicker than axial cords.
Shells of T. lanceolata examined here also show well
developed spiral cords and weaker axial cords (Figure 17).
Tritonoharpa lanceolata also has a variable color pat-
tern in the protoconch and teleoconch (Beu and Maxwell,
1987). As currently known, the protoconch varies from
pale cream (Figures 12, 13) to purplish (Figures 10, 14,
18-20) and the teleoconch varies from homogeneous
pale cream with brownish spots and streaks (Figures 10,
13) to darker shells (Figure 14). Whitish shells are
usually beach worn specimens (Figure 12). Until more
evidence about the identity of T. lanceolata become
available (i.e., discovery of the type material, anatomy,
genetics, more material from Puerto Rico), it is difficult
to assess if there is more than one distinct species under
the same name.
In Brazil, the first record of T. lanceolata was reported
by Rios (1970) (as “Colubraria lanceolata”), who cited
localities from the Northeast and Southeast (Trindade
Island) regions. Rios (1975; 1985) added a record from
the North of Brazil. Later, Rios (1994) recorded T.
lanceolata only in Para, North Brazil and Rios (2009)
repeated again the records from North to Southeast
coast of Brazil. Rios’ illustrations (1975; 1985; 1994;

2009) do not permit the evaluation of the pattern of
sculpture in the teleoconch. Thus, a robust delimitation
of the species based on these figures is not possible.
Furthermore, despite being a catalogue of mollusks from
Brazil, the shells figured by Rios are not always from this
country (pers. obs.).
The malacological collections studied in the present
work usually housed vouchers from Brazil identified as T.
lanceolata. However, all the shells from Brazil studied
seems to present axial ribs thicker and slightly more
pronounced in comparison to the material from the
northern hemisphere, but a few shells were studied under
SEM. These features lead us to doubt whether T. lan-
ceolata does really occur in Brazil.

Type Locality: Cuba: Habana: Marianao, 20 m.
Type Material: Holotype: Museo Poey, Universidad de
La Habana, Cuba (sh; here examined). Formerly at
“Instituto de Zoologia, Academia de Ciencias de Cuba”
and catalogued as type number 31 (sh; here examined by
photographs) (Sarastia 1975).
Distribution: Cuba (Sarastia, 1975); Panama (Lee,
2009). Known from 20 m (Sarastia, 1975).
Remarks: Beu and Maxwell (1987: 39) considered this
species as the possible largest specimen of T. lanceolata
due to the size of the holotype (45 mm long) (Sarastia,
1975) (Figures 21, 22). According to these authors: “ex-
amination of more extremely large western Atlantic
specimens will be necessary to be sure of the status of T.
cubapatriae”. Indeed, the differences pointed by Sarastia
(1975) in comparisons with T. lanceolata may be related to
the ontogeny phase of the species and we agree with Beu
and Maxwell (1987) in that the shell of T. cubapatriae does
not have more convex whorls than T. lanceolata.
The largest specimen of T. lanceolata we have examined
reaches about eight whorls, 29.1 mm long, collected in
Anguilla, Caribbean (USNM 92993). Lamy and Pointier
(2017: pl. 184, figs. 9A, B) illustrated a shell from Mar-
tinique with 38.4 mm long.
The only additional record of T. cubapatriae since its orig-
inal description was reported by Lee (2009: 123). He referred
to material from Caribbean Panama in a private collection,
with no information about depth and no illustration.

Distribution: Guadeloupe (Lamy and Pointier, 2017),
Colombia (Petuch, 1987; Daccarett and Bossio, 2011).
From 8 to 35 m (Petuch, 1987; Lamy and Pointier, 2017).
Remarks: Tritonoharpa bayeri was \nown only from
Colombia until recently when Lamy and Pointier (2017)
recorded the species in Guadeloupe. The shell figured by
Lamy and Pointier (2017: pl. 184, fig. 8A-B) has a dark
brown coloration at the spire, differing from the holotype.
Petuch (1987) introduced the species in Colubraria
Schumarcher, 1817 and made no comparisons to other
species of Tritonoharpa. Tritonoharpa bayeri is very
similar to T. curvapex and was distinguished above.
Tritonoharpa bayeri differs from T. lanceolata and T.
leali by the faster increase in diameter, reaching a smaller
ratio of the SL/SW (2.1 vs. 2.8-3.2 and 2.6, respectively).
Furthermore, the aperture of T. bayeri is not so con-
stricted posteriorly as in T. lanceolata and T. leali.
Tritonoharpa bayeri has a similar ratio of SL/SW to
the initial whorls of T. cubapatriae, the latter species
cease a strong increase in diameter after the fifth or sixth
whorl and becomes more cylindrical in shape, reaching
a higher number of whorls and length. The presence of
thinner and lower varices in T. bayeri through all whorls
indicates that this species is not a young specimen of
T. cubapatriae.

Remarks: Harasewych et al. (1992) pointed out some
differences between T. leali and T. lanceolata, mentioning
a “more inflated and thinner shell” in the former. The
holotype of T. leali (Figures 28, 29) is a relatively young
individual, with a stocky appearance, however the species
reaches a larger size (MNRJ 21548: one shell reaching
21.2 mm long) and in this case the general shape becomes
more elongated and more similar to the shape of T.
lanceolata. Small specimens of T. lanceolata also have a
more inflated appearance as noted by Beu and Maxwell
(1987: 40). Another difference pointed by Harasewych
et al. (1992) was the presence of axial cords more pro-
nounced than the spiral cords in contrast to T. lanceolata.

present study, except for the newly described species, are
more similar to the pattern of sculpture described by
Harasewych et al. (1992) for T. leali, despite being slightly
thinner (Figure 38) than in the holotype (Harasewych
et al., 1992: fig. 6). Thus, the occurrence of T. lanceolata in
Brazil is considered dubious and previous records are
probably misidentifications of T. leali.
Tritonoharpa leali was known from the central coast of
Brazil from Bahia to Espirito Santo states, and also at the
Vitoria-Trindade seamount chain (Leal, 1991; Harasewych
et al., 1992; Absalao et al., 2006; Rios, 2009). In the present
study, the geographic distribution of T. leali is extended
northwards to the state of Rio Grande do Norte (~04°S)
and southwards to the state of SA0 Paulo (~23°S), both in
Brazil.
One live specimen photographed at Arraial do Cabo,
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and here identified as T. leali is
densely spotted of orange in the head-foot area and the
tentacles are almost completely orange (Figure 39). This
color pattern was also described by Modica et al. (2009)
for a shell identified as “T. antiquata (Hinds, 1844)” but it
actually belongs to a species complex of T. angasi (Braziel,
1877) (Modica et al., 2011a: 121, 2011b: 692). The head-
foot of specimens identified as T. lanceolata from Gua-
deloupe, illustrated by Lamy and Pointier (2017: 528,
text-fig), and from areas near Peanut Island, Florida,
figured at the website of Bill Frank (www.jaxshells.org/
tlance5.htm), also have a very similar color pattern. This
color pattern seems common in the genus. It is also
possible to observe a large and flattened penis in the
Brazilian specimen (Figure 39), similar to the penis of “T.
antiquata” (Modica et al., 2009: fig. 7P). A more detailed
comparison of the penial morphology is limited by the
condition of each specimen (alive vs. preserved).

AW= 4.0 mm; PCH= 1.1 mm; PCW= 1.1] mm; SL/
SW= 2.2.
Distribution: Only known from the type locality.
Remarks: Petuch and Sargent (2011) referred exclusively
to the holotype (Figures 40-44) and just a “few other
specimens” from the type locality. No other additional
record of the species was reported.
Tritonoharpa janowskyi is similar in shape to T. bayeri
(Figures 23-27), as both have a stocky appearance. The
former can be distinguished from T. bayeri by the pro-
portionally smaller length and width of the teleoconch, by
the thicker varices and by the higher number of axial cords
between varices (30 vs. 16-18) (Petuch, 1987; Petuch and
Sargent, 2011). Tritonoharpa janowskyi has a violet color
in the protoconch (Figures 42, 43) while T. bayeri has a
colorless protoconch (Figures 25, 26), but this difference
may be due to the conservation status of the shells. The
teleoconch of both species has a similar color pattern of
irregular brownish patches (Figures 23, 24, 27, 40,
Al AAy,
Tritonoharpa janowsky differs from T. leali in having
proportionally bigger dimensions comparing the holo-
types of both species. Furthermore, the spiral cords are
Page 103
more pronounced than axial cords in T. janowsky in
contrast to T. leali, and the former reaches a higher
number of axial cords between varices (30 us. 22).
DISCUSSION
The present overview of Tritonoharpa from the western
Atlantic demonstrates that there are doubts in the delim-
itation of most species and a more complete taxonomic re-
vision is necessary. The newly described species, T. curvapex,
is the most easily recognizable species presenting a
distinctive protoconch shape (Figures 4, 9). The other
species were rarely reported in the literature, except T.
lanceolata, and were described based on a few or unique
specimens. As commented by Verhecken (2011), who
studied species of Tritonoharpa from the Philippines,
the identification at species level in Tritonoharpa is rather
complicated. Modica et al. (2011b: 692) also pointed about
the difficulties in the taxonomy of Tritonoharpa species
from shallow and deeper waters of the Pacific, Indian and
Atlantic Oceans.
Although we recognized some diagnostic shell features
of most of the Tritonoharpa from the western Atlantic, the
scarcity of individuals hinders description of the variability
of these features. Tritonoharpa lanceolata is supposedly
the most common species, despite uncertainties about its
taxonomy, and shows a variable teleoconch sculpture and
color pattern (Beu and Maxwell, 1987). More recently,
Lamy and Pointier (2017: 528, pl. 184, figs. 8-14) iden-
tified two nominal species (T. bayeri and T. lanceolata)
and five morphotypes of Tritonoharpa sp. from Guadeloupe
(Caribbean). These authors did not describe the diagnostic
features of each morphotype, but based on the illustrations
they possibly considered the different color patterns in the
shells. At present, distinction of species by color pattern is a
dubious approach.
Knowledge about the anatomy of Tritonoharpa is even
more scarce, in the present study a few specimens of T.
leali with soft parts were originally available for study.
Unfortunately, part of these specimens was destroyed in
the fire of “Museu Nacional” prior to anatomical studies. A
Tritonoharpa species from the Philippines, erroneously
cited as T. antiquata (Modica et al., 2009, 201 1a, 2011b),
is the only species of the genus of which the anatomy is
known. More investigations on the anatomy of Tritono-
harpa may help in the species delimitation.
Thus, based on the material examined here we can
conclude that two species of Tritonoharpa certainly occur
in Brazil: T. curvapex and T. leali. Tritonoharpa leali has a
wider range of distribution in the Brazilian coast than
previously reported in the literature, with occurrences in
most of the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic province.
However, it is possible that we were unable to recognize
more than one species under the name T. leali in the
present overview. The occurrence of T. lanceolata in
Brazil needs clarifications.
The protoconch of all species of Tritonoharpa from the
western Atlantic indicates a lecitotrophic development by

its diameter and number of whorls, which may explain the
restricted geographic distribution of most species. Tri-
tonoharpa lanceolata difters from the remaining species
by its wider distribution, but as discussed above, this
distribution is possibly over estimated based on the doubts
about the identity of this species.
We hope that the illustrations of specimens, including
type material whenever possible, and the gathering
of data about western Atlantic Tritonoharpa will be
useful for future studies about this genus, despite some
of the tentative identifications in a confusing taxonomic
scenario.

ABSTRACT
Warren Oliver Addicott (1930-2009) was a prolific molluscan
paleontologist who produced in excess of one hundred publi-
cations, most of which deal with Tertiary fossil mollusks from
western North America. In these publications he is credited with
naming more than 80 new molluscan taxa, and recognizing and
illustrating an additional 17 taxa that lacked sufficient material to
be described as new. In addition, he is honored in having nine
species named for him (eight mollusks and one arthropod).
"Warren Addicott was an exemplary paleontologist, far
ahead of his peers, and willing to move into new areas and
issues. He helped to supervise the Circum-Pacific Map
Project, with many maps being put together and published
under his tenure." (Ellen J. Moore, 2010, pers. comm.,
October 2010)
“ .Warren Oliver Addicott (Ph.D. 1956), whose career with
the Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch of the U.S.
Geological Survey in Menlo Park set new standards for
monographic systematics, faunal and_biostratigraphic
documentation, and photographic illustration as well as
initiating new insights and integration of molluscan research
with active margin tectonics, refined climate curves, lat-
itudinal distributions based on marine mollusks, increased
radiometric age control on molluscan faunas, extension of
molluscan paleontological interpretations into Alaska, and
fostering exchange and collaboration with Japanese mol-
luscan paleontologists.” (Hickman, 2009.)
MEMORIAL
Warren Addicott was born in Fresno, California on
February 17, 1930 to Irwin and Astrid Addicott. He was
the eldest of two brothers, the younger being Alan
Addicott. His formative years were spent in California
where he attended Fresno High School in Fresno. At
Fresno High School he played basketball making the
local “Fresno Bee’s [newspaper] All Yosemite League
Basketball Team” (The Fresno Bee newspaper, Feb-
ruary 27, 1946: 11; https:/Avww.newspapers.com/clip/
§987288/the-fresno-bee-the-republican/). Afterward he
attended Pomona College, where he was a student of
the founding director of the geology department,
Alfred O. Woodford. Warren graduated in 1951 witha
BA in geology. A year later he received his M.A. from
Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station in Pa-
cific Grove, California. Subsequently he attended the
University of California at Berkeley where he received
his Ph.D. from the Museum of Paleontology in 1956.
While there, Warren completed his pioneering work
on the Neogene Kern River deposits (1956) under
J. Wyatt Durham, Charles W. Gilbert, and Ralph L.
Langenheim.
In 1962, Warren joined the then-expanding Paleon-
tology and Stratigraphy Branch of the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park, California. There he had a
long and illustrious career focused on molluscan fossils of
the eastern Pacific collaborating with colleagues in the
Russian Far East, Japan, and later Spain. His first paper
published by the USGS was with Jack G. Vedder, a re-
nowned geologist in his own right, where they discussed
the relationship between paleotemperature and Miocene
mollusks in the Kern River area. Probably his most
prominent publication is “Miocene Gastropods and
Biostratigraphy of the Kern River Area, California”
(Addicott, 1970d), which, 50 years later, remains a classic
and an outstanding publication. In addition to his pub-
lications (listed below) Warren authored hundreds of
Internal Reports on Referred Fossils (known as E&R’s
within the USGS) for other federal scientists and scholars
around the world. John Barron (USGS) related a memory
of Warren to us: when he first started his career at the
USGS, he asked Warren for advice on how he should
work. Warren suggested he divide his time into thirds, one
third on service work (E&R’s), one third on collaboration,
and one third on his own research. This division of labor
has similarly worked well for many USGS paleontologists
over the years.
Warren was always willing to aid students and fellow
scientists in their work. He sponsored the USGS postdoc
of Judith Terry Smith (Smithsonian) for a year, although
the two did not interact much. He helped Clifford M.
Nelson with his dissertation on the gastropod genus

Neptunea. Nelson would later write a letter to Warren that when speaking with Warren in 1973 about his un-
thanking him for his help; this letter is now preserved in dergraduate thesis, he offered to loan him some fossils
the archives at the Museum of Paleontology, University of that Warren and Joe Clark (Indiana University of Penn-
California, Berkeley. Richard G. Stanley (USGS) recalls sylvania) had collected from Richard’s field site. Warren
C.L. Powell, II and K.J. Meade, 2020
was also interested in Richard’s 1987 poster on right-
lateral displacement of the San Andreas fault, which many
other scientists disapproved of at the time. “I remember
Warren as an exemplary and thoughtful scientist, and as a
generous and kind human being,” he related to us. Warren
always answered letters that Lindsey Groves (Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County) sent him, as this
latter worked on his masters thesis at California State
University, Northridge. In addition, whenever possible he
joined Robert J. McLaughlin and Dave Durham (both
USGS) on field trips to Salinas Valley localities, and was
always willing to look at “the most scruffy material.” James
C. Ingle, Jr. (Stanford University) tells of how he worked
with Warren on several US-Japan projects dealing with
Neogene paleontology around the Pacific Rim and that he
later helped Jim obtain funding for field work on the
Burica Formation in Panama. “He was a premier pale-
ontologist, a wonderful colleague, and simply a great
human being in every respect,” he recalled.
In 1971, Warren became a consulting Associate Pro-
fessor of Geology at Stanford University where he served
as counsel for graduate students and supervised the
University’s Cenozoic and modern mollusk collections.
Around 1980, Warren left the Branch for Paleontology
and Stratigraphy, joining the Circum-Pacific Map Project
(C-P M Project), because he was tired of having to ask for
money from projects he helped. The goal of the C-P M
Project was to gather together scientists from different
parts of the world toward developing geologically signif-
icant maps throughout the Pacific region. Warren was
appointed General Chairman of the C-P M Project in
1983, taking over from John A. Reinemund, who had been
appointed Director in 1982. A few years later, in 1986,
Warren retired from the USGS. That same year, he and
his second wife Suzanne Aubin moved to Ashland, Ore-
gon. After moving, Warren taught at the University of
Southern Oregon from 1986 until his final retirement in
1990.
Throughout his career Warren was heavily involved in
the broader scientific community. He became a fellow of
the California Academy of Sciences, gave lectures and
lead field trips for the American Association of Petroleum
Geologists (AAPG) along with being editor of the Pacific
Petroleum Geologists, a newsletter of the Pacific Section
AAPG, and from 1971 to 1981 was a Trustee of Bulletins
of American Paleontology (Paleontology Research Insti-
tute, Ithaca, New York). He was a founding member of
the Western Society of Malacologists (1968) and is be-
lieved to have regularly attended meetings until at least
1975. In 1970, Warren was elected Secretary of the Pa-
leontological Society, a position he held until 1976. Later,
he was elected President of the Paleontological Society
(1980). He also served on the editorial board for The
Veliger, a quarterly published by the California Mala-
cozoological Society, Inc.
When not working on research, Warren loved to gar-
den. He was vice-president of the Peninsula Camelia
Society in 1964 after moving to Menlo Park for his job at
the USGS. In 1964 and again in 1968 he won several
Page 109
camellia growing contests run by the local camellia society
(Southern California Camellia Society, 1964: 22; 1968:
9-18), and wrote about the subject in the specialized
literature (Addicott, 1967d: 27.)
He was also skilled at ceramics and a talented poet.
Warren loved music, especially blues and jazz, and
loved to compose his own music that he would play on
the piano. He was married twice, first to Susanne Smith
(1955-1972), and later to Suzanne Aubin (1976-2009).
He left two children, Eric Addicott and Carol Kral, as
well as two stepchildren, David Le Drew and Christine
LeDrew-Johnson. Eric recounted to us: “Dad made it a
priority to spend lots of time with my sister and me, and
in many ways the divorce enhanced his relationship
with us. He was always so loving and caring, and he
always trusted my judgment and never really tried to
guide or advise me too much. He introduced me to
fishing, backpacking, cycling, and skiing, activities which I
still do.”
Warren was a world traveler and took an avid interest in
other cultures. Not only did he travel for research-related
reasons, but also for pleasure. He would even take time
during overseas scientific conferences to visit scenic lo-
cations. For example during the 1971 Mediterranean
Neogene Congress in Lyon, France, he visited the Rhone
and Bordeaux basins in France.
After his retirement he moved to Ashland, where he
continued to travel. In 1997, he wrote a letter to the Nu
Alpha Phi fraternity at Pomona College (of which he was a
member during his time there) noting that he and his
second wife Suzanne had traveled to India in 1996 and
stayed there for three months. He also worked as a realtor
while in Ashland to keep busy.
Warren O. Addicott passed away July 11, 2009, with his
wife Suzanne by his side, from complications of cancer. A
hard worker and kind man, he named over 80 new
molluscan taxa during his lifetime. His contributions to
molluscan paleontology, and paleontology in general,
solidified Warren Addicott’s name as one of the great
paleontologists of the late 20th Century.

The western North American genus, Paciocinebrina Houart,
Vermeij, and Wiedrick 2019, is both impressively speciose and
phenotypically plastic, challenging the views of both lumpers and
splitters. A recent study has revealed that the northeastern
Pacific species of Paciocinebrina are distinct from the European
type species, Ocinebrina aciculata (Lamarck, 1822) and other
eastern Atlantic species, including Ocenebra Gray, 1847. Based
on newly collected specimens and material already available,
mostly from California, a spiral morphology comparison of six
new species are herein described, including habitat and distri-
bution records.

INTRODUCTION
The predatory snail genus Paciocinebrina Houart, Ver-
meij, and Wiedrick, 2019 has long been a grouping of
temperate snails chiefly restricted to the northeast Pacific
and similar in appearance to northeastern Atlantic and
Mediterranean species of Ocinebrina Jousseaume, 1880.
Molecular studies (Barco et al., 2017) support these
genera as distinct lineages, both having radiations of di-
versity. Houart et al. (2019) used morphological and
biogeographic comparisons to provide a faunal list and to
describe several new species from the southern range of
Paciocinebrina. Paciocinebrina is one of about 33 rec-
ognized genera within the muricid subfamily Ocenebrinae
Cossmann, 1903 (Molluscabase eds., 2020). Voucher
material examined range from intertidal to subtidal (to
686 m) habitats, and were reported from as far north as
the Kenai Peninsula, Kenai-Cook County, Alaska (59° N)
and as far south as Bahia Magdalena, Baja California Sur,
' Museum Associate
? Research Associate at both institutions listed
Mexico (24° N). Assuming that the LACM collections
examined accurately reflect distributional patterns, these
snails are much more abundant in the northern portion of
the range but are still present at moderate densities south
of San Luis Obispo County, California.
The diversity of this group has long been debated,
highlighted by the conflicted views of Radwin and
D’Attilio (1976) and Fair (1976). Shell and radular
morphology have been the basis of Paciocinebrina de-
scriptions (Radwin and D7’Attilio, 1971; 1976), with
morphological characters having a historical perspective,
embraced by malacologists in the diagnosis of molluscan
species and higher taxa in systematic studies (Ponder and
Lindberg, 1997).
The reproductive life histories of this group are poorly
understood and known from very few studies (Merle et al.,
2011: 23). Paleobiologists (Jablonski and Lutz, 1983) have
found that morphological features in the protoconch
sculpture of marine benthic gastropods are a result of
their mode of development (Bouchet and Strong, 2010:
65; Merle et al., 2011: 23). The use of this feature to
determine species delineation, biodiversity, and life his-
tory patterns has been broadly used for neogastropods
(Shuto, 1974; Bouchet, 1990), including studies on
muricids (Radwin and D’Attilio, 1976; D’Attilio, 1980;
1981; Myers and D’Attilio, 1986; Merle et al., 2011: 17,
23) and conoideans (Powell, 1966: 6; Bouchet, 1990). The
uniform possession of paucispiral protoconchs in eastern
Pacific Paciocinebrina species was noted by McLean
(1996: 80) and indicates that the mode of reproduction
across the taxon is by intracapsular development. Hansen
(1980), Jablonski and Lutz (1983), and Jablonski (1986)
found higher speciation and extinction rates in this mode
of development, which seems to parallel the radiation and
fossil record of this group (Marshall et al., 2012; Niitzel,
2014). Fluctuating sea level and temperature changes
likely contributed to higher periods of diversification,
whether in warm periods (Mayhew et al., 2012) or cold
periods (Davis et al., 2016), as reflected in the Neogene
Page 118
and Quaternary fossil record of California. Modes of larval
dispersal may have been under selection by the strong
' currents seen in the eastern Pacific, a model discussed by
Brown (2014).
Several contributing factors are likely the cause of
species within this genus to inhabit rocky substrate,
whether intertidal or subtidal. Ecological and physiolog-
ical factors such as reproduction, feeding, and ecological
niches are likely influenced by habitat selection by these
gastropods. Abbott (1968: 126) illustrated western At-
lantic muricid egg capsules, which appear to be similar in
appearance to northeastern Pacific Paciocinebrina spe-
cies. Laboratory studies by Spight et al. (1974: 234) de-
tailed egg capsule laying on rocks by Paciocinebrina
interfossa (Carpenter, 1864), with Griffith (1967: 69)
noting some eastern Pacific muricids known to guard eggs
during incubation. This reproductive process appears to
limit connectivity between populations, as long spanning,
intertidal and subtidal sandy shorelines tend to isolate
rocky reefs in the eastern Pacific, which could restrict
migration between these populations, isolating them to
rocky habitats. Diet, feeding preference, and food
abundance likely play a role in habitat selection. Species
within this group are carnivorous and feed by means of
radula and an accessory boring organ, which in combi-
nation, are capable of drilling through a prey’s hard flesh
or exoskeleton (Vermeij, 1993: 105, 108; McLean, 2007:
740; Bertsch and Rosas, 2016: 216-217). The preferred
diet of Paciocinebrina species is primarily comprised of
sessile barnacles, mollusks, and other invertebrates re-
stricted to rocky habitats.
Paciocinebrina species have been reported as feeding
or associated with the mantle of the gumboot chiton,
Cryptochiton stelleri (Middendorff, 1846) (Talmadge,
1975; Abbott and Haderlie in Morris et al., 1980: 277),
barnacles (Rice, 1971: 48; Abbott and Haderlie, 1980:
277; Palmer, 1988; McLean, 2007: 740; McLean, 1996:
78; Bertsch and Rosas, 2016: 216; Merle et al., 2011: 24),
limpets (Palmer, 1988; Bertsch and Rosas, 2016: 216),
bivalves (Palmer, 1988; McLean, 2007: 740; McLean,
1996: 78; Merle et al., 2011: 24), other mollusks (Palmer,
1988; Abbott and Haderlie, 1980: 277; Merle et al., 2011:
24) and the shelled polychaete worm, Spirorbis (Palmer,
1988: 192).
New species descriptions are based on the analysis of
e material from the California Academy of Sciences
(CASIZ), Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
County (LACM), San Diego Natural History Museum
(SDNHM), National Museum of Natural History,
Smithsonian Institution (USNM), University of Cal-
ifornia, Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), several private
collections, and the collection of subtidal and intertidal
specimens ranging from Devil’s Gate, Humboldt Co.
(40°N) to Laguna Beach, Orange Co., California (33°N).
A revision of Paciocinebrina is presented in Wiedrick
(thesis) including the chresonymy, synonymy, biodiver-
sity, biogeography, and ecology of known nominal taxa
based on existing literature, the aforementioned speci-
mens, and molecular data.

California (33°23'59" N, 118°22'0" W), collected by J.H.
McLean, 29 April 1962 [LACM 1962-5.31].
Distribution: Carmel Submarine Canyon, Monterey Co.,
California (36°) to Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Cal-
ifornia Channel Ids., California (33°N); primarily on low
intertidal rocks, large rock overhangs and undersides of
giant boulders, to 38.1 m.
Remarks: The spiral morphology of the initial whorl are
identical (P1 and P2) to various other Paciocinebrina
species, with distinct s2 cord in the second whorl of P.
bormannae, third whorl with adis cord, a feature not seen
in comparable species, fourth whorl similar to Pacioci-
nebrina munda (Carpenter, 1864), with P3 cord absent in
that species, final whorl of P. bormannae with SP, abis, s4,
ads, ms, abs cords and s6 cord absent, all characters not
seen in P. munda (Figures 56-59). Superficially similar to
the more northern species, P. grandilurida new species,
but is lighter in coloration, has a less acute spire, one ad-
ditional axial rib on final whorl and a different spiral cord
morphology with P. bormannae having an additional t cord
after s2 and ABP, abs cords on final whorl (Figures 5, 10).
Etymology: Named in honor of the late Mary Bormann, a
collector of various Paciocinebrina species, who also had a
particular passion for this group of west coast muricids.

tertidal, Albion, Mendocino County, California (39°14'30"
N, 123°46'30" W), collected by J.H. McLean, 11 No-
vember 1962 [LACM 62-15.30]; two specimens, inter-
tidal, 0.8 km south of Fort Ross, Sonoma County,
California (38°30'42" N, 123°13'59" W), collected by (Pak
McLean, 28 December 1963 [LACM 63-57.23].
Distribution: Shelter Cove, Humboldt Co., California
(40°N) to Fort Ross, Sonoma Co., California (38°N); low
to mid intertidal zone, on rock reefs, undersurfaces of
large boulders and on the girdle of the gumboot chiton,
Cyptochiton stelleri (Middendorff, 1846).
Remarks: The first three whorls are identical to Pacio-
cinebrina munda (P1, P2; IP, P1, P2; IP, Pl, sl, P2, s2),
with abis cord of fourth whorl absent in P. munda. See P.
bormannae section for comparisons to this species. Tal-
madge (1975: 414), Abbott and Haderlie (1980) and
McConnaughey and McConnaughey (1985: 358) re-
ported the feeding of Paciocinebrina lurida (Figures
60-63) on the gumboot chiton, Cryptochiton stelleri
(Middendorff, 1846), although field observations from
Shelter Cove have exclusively been by the larger P.
grandilurida, despite the mass presence of P. lurida at
that locality.
Etymology: In reference to the large size and similarities
to the smaller Paciocinebrina lurida (Middendorff, 1848),
grandi- meaning grandiose, lurida in reference to that
other species, gender feminine.

County, California [LACM 151066].
Distribution: Crescent City, Del Norte Co., California
(41° N) to China Rock, Seventeen Mile Drive, Monterey,
Monterey Co., California (36°N); primarily at low to mid-
intertidal zones on rocks, near dense mats of purple algae,
as noted on one LACM record from near the surfgrass,
Phyllospadix, 1 subtidal lot at 18 m.
Description: Shell small for the genus, holotype length
13.1 mm, width 6.1 mm. Shell elongate, profile narrow,
slenderly rhomboid, whorls ovate, tall, sutural indenta-
tions weak, size small, but robust, ribs subtle, scabrous
sculpture of even width throughout entire length of shell,
color dingy white, occasionally with light brown band on
P2 cord below shoulder, outer lip of aperture dull white,
columellar and parietal walls and interior flushed with
purplish brown. Spire acute, protoconch bulbous, worn in
nearly all specimens examined. Initial whorl somewhat
flattened, wide spanning, half set into proceeding whorl,
rotund, becoming shouldered by cord further into whorl
than most other Paciocinebrina species. Median cord
strong, slightly more projecting initially, becoming of
equal strength and pseudo-clathrate, spiral cords be-
coming projected nodes at intersection of axial ribs. Shape
of siphonal canal moderately small, tapering. First tele-
oconch whorl in holotype with P1, P2 cords, second with
Pl, P2 cords, starting IP cord, third with Pl, P2 cords,
starting, sl cord, fourth whorl with IP, P1, sl, P2 cords,
starting s2 cord, final whorl with SP, IP, Pl, sl, P2, s2, P3,
s3, P4, s4, P5, s5, P6, ADP, MP spiral cords and eleven
narrow, but widely spaced axial ribs. Aperture consistently
with weak D1, D2 (split), D3, D4, D5 denticles, strongest
centrally, split D2 denticles weak in small sized speci-
mens. Aperture moderately sized, ovate, posterior end
squarer in shape, lip heavily developed and thick at
subsutural ramp on final varices, slightly slimmer at
shoulder, thinning towards anterior end, parietal wall
extremely thin at top, wider anteriorly, slightly thicker at
columellar wall, terminated by a twist near anterior end.
Remarks: The initial three teleoconch whorls are iden-
tical to Paciocinebrina minor (Dall, 1919) (Figures
44-47), with P. mininterfossa having adis, abis, s1, s2,
s3, s4, s> and P6 cords on the fourth whorl, characters
absent in P. minor. This species is very small compared to
the similar appearing species, P. interfossa (Figures
64-67), of which many specimens have been haphaz-
ardly mixed into LACM lots labelled as such, a likely
assumption is that workers simply presumed a juvenile
state in this smaller species. Additionally, this taxon is a
dingy white, not brown, has thicker and much looser
sutural scabrocity and a different spiral morphology. A
specimen figured by Rice (1971), and identified as P.
interfossa, seems to match the holotype of this species and

a specific locality of the figured specimen. This species has
been observed in the field as feeding on Barleeia species.
Etymology: Gender feminine in the nominative case,
mini- meaning a miniature version of P. interfossa,
meaning having ditches among itself, in reference to the
sculpture of that species.

Distribution: Hope Island, Vancouver Island, British
Columbia (50° N) to San Nicolas Island, California
Channel Ids., California (33° N); on and under intertidal
rocks, in gravel, rarely at shallow subtidal depths to 14.6 m.
Remarks: The initial three whorls are identical to
Paciocinebrina minor, with P. murphyorum having adis,
abis, sl, s2, s3 and s4 spiral cords on fourth whorl,
characters absent in P. minor. This species superficially
resembles P. atropurpurea (Carpenter, 1865) but has a
different morphology (Figures 52-55) than P. mur-
phyorum (Figures 23-24). Bormann (1946: pl. 4, fig. 1, 3)
figured a specimen of this species under the name cla-
thrata, now known as a synonym of P. atropurpurea
(Houart et al., 2019: 209).
Etymology: Named in the genitive case for the surname
Murphy, a name representing Brendan and William
Murphy, two individuals completely unknowingly of one
another, but coincidentally with same last name. Brendan,
a dear friend and high school colleague of the senior
author, facilitated the first visit to the type locality of this
species, a site where several specimens had subsequently
been collected and examined for this description. William
Murphy, a dear friend of the senior author’s father, was
gracious enough, along with wife Donna, to host Mr.
Wiedrick at their residence in Humboldt County, an
opportunity that afforded Mr. Wiedrick to conduct re-
search in northern California field sites. Specimens
sampled and identified as P. grandilurida trom Shelter
Cove, the city in which Mr. and Mrs. William Murphy
resides, is also the type locality of that new species, the
only location where this species was acquired and ana-
lyzed for spiral morphology.

Distribution: Makah Bay, Clallam Co., Washington (48°
N) to Punta Rompiente, Baja California Sur, Mexico (27°
N): intertidal and subtidal zone on rocks to 125 m.
Remarks: The initial three teleoconch whorls are similar
to Paciocinebrina gracillima (Stearns, 1871) (Figures 48-51),
but P. pseudopusilla is absent of secondary cords. The
general morphology is most similar to P. pusilla, protoconch
features, spiral and denticle morphology (Figures 28-29,
39-40) are distinguishable characters in separating these
species, considering additional characteristics is problematic
and usually lend to improper identification. Protoconch of P.
pusilla small, bulbous, highly erect, keel indistinct, P. pseu-
dopusilla protoconch large, profile wide, tabulate, keel dis-
tinct, D6 cord present in P. pusilla, exclusively absent in P.
pseudopusilla. Superficially similar to P. pusilla, initial two
whorls identical, third whorl with P3 cord present in P.
pusilla, absent in P. pseudopusilla, fourth whorl of P. pusilla
with P6, s6 and ABP cords, D6 apertural denticle, and one
fewer axial rib, characters not seen in P. pseudopusilla.
Etymology: Gender feminine, pseudo- meaning spurious
and pusilla in reference to that morphologically similar
species in the nominative case.

ABSTRACT
The arcid bivalve, Arca (Arca) budoensis new species, is de-
scribed from the Budo Mudstone Member of the Asahi For-
mation in northern Niigata Prefecture, central Honshu. The age
of the member has been assigned to 16.6-15.9 Ma (late early
Miocene) on the basis of dinoflagellate cysts. Judging from the
arcid, dinoflagellate cysts and sedimentary facies, the paleo-
environment of the member was a shallow embayment influenced
by a warm-water current. The reason that the molluscan fauna
of the Budo Member contains no characteristic species of the
subtropical to tropical Arcid-Potamid fauna (17.0-16.7 Ma) is that
the Budo fauna is slightly later than that Arcid-Potamid fauna.
Because the new species resembles fossil and Recent species of
the eastern Pacific, A. budoensis is accepted as derived from an
ancestor that migrated westward to Asia. The senior author,
Kazutaka Amano, is the single author of the new species.
Additional Keywords: Marine, fossil, shallow sea, warm-current
INTRODUCTION
The Japan Sea was formed in the latest Oligocene (ca. 25
Ma) by separation of the Japanese Islands from the
Eurasian continent (Yanai et al., 2010). The oldest “ma-
rine” trace fossils from the Japan Sea side were recovered
from the Shiose-no-Misaki sediments which were in-
truded by a dolerite dated at 20 Ma (Ohguchi et al., 2005).
However, Sato et al. (2009) argued that these fossils were
non-marine. According to Sato et al. (1991, 2009), the
oldest marine fossils including the nannofossil, Spheno-
lithus heteromorphus were from the lower part of the
NN4 zone (Martini, 1971), later than 17.75 Ma according
to Backman et al. (2012).
In the northern part of Niigata Prefecture, the marine
sediments occur in the Miocene Asahi Formation
(Nishida, 1958: Takahama et al., 1976), which uncon-
formably overlies the Tenjosan Formation and is overlain
by the Osudo Shale containing the Osudo flora (Kamoi
et al., 1978). This flora corresponds with the late early to
early Middle Miocene Daijima-type flora (Takahama
et al., 1976; Kamoi et al., 1978). The Asahi Formation
consists of the Budo Mudstone, Nagasakatoge Rhyolite
and Arasawa Sandstone and Conglomerate Members in
ascending order (Takahama et al., 1976). The large for-
aminifer Operculina complanata japonica Hanzawa, from
the Arasawa Member indicates a late early to early late
Miocene age (Kamoi et al., 1978).
The following mollusks and brachiopods (including
Terebratulina spp.) were recorded from the Budo
Member by Nishida (1958), Tsuda (1965) and Taka-
hama et al. (1976): Chlamys iwasakiensis, Pecten sp.,
Cardium sp., Geloina yamanei, Panomya simotomensis,
and Littolinopsis miodelicatula. Of these, Geloina
yamanei and Littolinopsis miodelicatula are charac-
teristic species of late early Miocene mangrove swamp
fauna (Oyama, 1950). However, these species names
were only listed up from unknown localities and have
never been described nor illustrated. Moreover, the
exact age of this member has not been determined from
microfossils.
Many marine fossils have been recovered from a
previously unknown locality in the Budo Member. The
species composition including a new arcid species 1s very
different from the above listed species. In this paper, we
determine the age by dinoflagellate cysts, describe the
new bivalve species of Arca and discuss the paleobio-
logical significance of the fauna.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The fossils were collected from a small outcrop along a
rice field at 250m east from Budo (Figure 1; 38°23'23" N,
139°33'27” E). At the fossil locality, hard gray mudstones
yielding many shell-dissolved fossils are exposed. From
this locality, the following molluscan species are recorded:
Arca budoensis new species, Arcuatula? sp. and Cav-
ilucina? sp. Moreover, the fossils also include three
species of brachiopods: Discinisca sp., Coptothyris grayi
(Davidson), Terebratalia sp. and one fragment of Cirri-
pedia, Capitulum? sp.

Dinoflagellate cysts were picked for age determination
from the rock subsampled in the mollusk-bearing mud-
stone. Taxonomic identification of dinoflagellate cysts
follows Fensome et al. (2008), where complete biblio-
graphic references were provided. The sample was treated
successively with HCl and HF to eliminate carbonate and
silicate minerals. Then heavy liquid zinc bromide (specific
gravity 2.0) was used to concentrate organic particles from
the residues after the acid treatment.
We used digital calipers (Mitsutoyo Company, model
CD-20) to measure specimens of Arca to the first decimal
place. The terminology on Arca is follows Noda (1966). All
specimens of Arca are deposited at the National Museum
of Nature and Science, Tsukuba (NMNS).
DINOFLAGELLATE AGE
The sample yielded a number of dinoflagellate cysts
whose preservation was sufficiently good for identifica-
tion. Based on 393 counted specimens, the dinoflagellate
cyst assemblage is characterized by abundant to common
Page 134
occurrences of Achomosphaera ramulifera, A. spongiosa,
Cribroperidinium giuseppei, C. granomembraneceum,
Diphyes latiusculum, Heteraulacacysta campanula,
Hystrichokolpoma_ rigaudiae, Lingulodinium machaer-
ophorum, Operculodinium centrocarpum, Spiniferites
pseudofurcatus and Systematophora placacantha with
fewer Nematosphaeropsis lemniscata, Reticulatosphaera
actinocoronata, and Tuberculodinium vancampoae. In the
assemblage, protoperidinioid species are very minor in
abundance and include Brigantedinium sp., Lejeunecysta
spp., and Selenopemphix nephroides (Table 1). In addition,
a few specimens of an acritarch species Paralecaniella
indentata and a freshwater green alga Pediastrum sp. were
also recorded.
The abundant to common occurrences of Cribroper-
idinium giuseppei, C. granomembraneceum, Diphyes
latiusculum, Spiniferites pseudofurcatus and System-
atophora placacantha indicate evident correlation with
the basal part of the Subzone b of Diphyes latiusculum
Zone originally proposed by Matsuoka et al. (1987) and
subsequently modified by Obuse and Kurita (1999).
According to Obuse and Kurita (1999), this part is coeval

flagellate cyst taxon is expressed as VA (very abundant, 20 % and

SYSTEMATICS
Family Arcidae Lamarck, 1809
Subfamily Arcinae Lamarck, 1809
Genus Arca Linnaeus, 1758
Subgenus Arca Linnaeus, 1758
Type Species: Arca noae Linnaeus, 1758 by subsequent
designation.
Remarks: The senior author, Kazutaka Amano, is
the single author of the new species. Reinhart (1935)
recognized four subgenera: Arca, Litharca Gray, 1842,
Arcoptera Heilprin, 1887, and Eonavicula Arkell, 1929.
According to Lutaenko and Maestrati (2007), Litharca is
an independent genus and Arcoptera is independent from
Arca (s.s.). Oliver and Chesney (1994) recognized Tet-
rarca Nordsieck, 1969 (type species: Arca tetragona Poli,
1795). When Oliver and Holmes (2006) subdivided Arca
into A. noae, A. avellana, and A. tetragona groups, they
did not treat the last group as a separate subgenus.
Consequently, Lutaenko and Maestrati (2007) separated
the extinct Arcoptera as a subgenus and Arca (s. s.) into
three types: Type 1 ( A. avellana, A. boucardi, A. tetra-
gona), Type 2 (A. navicularis, A. pacifica, A. zebra) and
Type 3 (A. koumaci), based on the presence of postero-
dorsal wing and posterior sulcus. Huber (2010) sub-
divided the modern Arca into four subgenera as Arca
(s. s.), Tetrarca, unnamed I (A. avellana, A. imbricata, A.
mutabilis, A. ventricosa) and unnamed II (A. boucardi).
From the view point of valve margins, Vermeij (2013)
subdivided Arca into three groups as A. imbricata group
with smooth edge (A. avellana, A. imbricata, A. mutabilis),
A. zebra group with obsolete ventral crenulations and
well-developed anterior and posterior ones (A. zebra, A.
pacifica, A. navicularis, A. ventricosa, A. noae). Vermeij
(2013) separated A. boucardi from these two groups by its
continuously crenulated ventral margin and a much
narrower hinge plate. Molecular data by Feng et al. (2015)
and Kong et al. (2020) support the subdivision of Arca (s.
s.) by Oliver and Holmes (2006) and Lutaenko and
Maestrati (2007) except for the separation of A. boucardi
as a subgenus level supporting Huber’s (2010) and Vermeij’s
(2013) opinions. In this paper, the new species is treated as a
A. noae group (Subgenus Arca s. s.) from its shell shape.
Arca (Arca) budoensis Amano new species
(Figures 2-6)
Diagnosis: Small Arca having low elongate shell, pointed
anterior end, truncated posterior margin, strong radial
ridge from umbo to postero-ventral corner and posterior
sulcus. Surface ornamented with 64 radial ribs and granu-
lated with growth lines on posterior part.

Figures 2—6. Arca (Arca) budoensis Amano new species. 2. Para
Description: Shell small (to 25.8 mm long), elongate
quadrate, much lower than high especially in adults (H/
L= 0.33 to 0.56), inequilateral (AL/L= 0.27 to 0.41),
strong radial ridge extending from umbo to postero-
ventral corner. Antero-dorsal margin straight and
horizontal; anterior end of dorsal margin pointed; antero-
ventral margin posteriorly oblique; middle to posterior
ventral margin broadly concave as byssal notch in adult
but straight in younger specimens (length <7.3 mm);
postero-ventral corner acutely rounded; posterior margin
subtruncated and concave; postero-dorsal margin straight
and horizontal making right angle with posterior margin.
Umbo produced above dorsal margin; beak located at
anterior about one-third to two-fifths. Surface of anterior
part of shell in front of radial ridge ornamented with 51
flat and fine radial ribs separated by nearly equal inter-
spaces; anterior eight stronger than other ribs; posterior
area of shell behind radial ridge sculptured by 13 radial
ribs, lamellated growth ribs making granules at their
crossing points; granulation sometimes seen in front of
radial ridge in younger shells. Small taxodont teeth ob-
servable in terminal of hinge. Inner structure unknown.
Type Material: Holotype: Left valve (NMNS PM no.
65046), length 25.8 mm, height 8.6 mm, anterior length
7.6 mm. Paratypes: Left valve (NMNS PM no. 65047), length
19.6 mm, height 7.7 mm, anterior length 8.0 mm; left valve
(NMNS PM nos. 65048), length 13.8 mm, height, 5.0 mm-+;

4.1 mm, anterior length 2.9 mm; right valve (NMNS PM no.
65050), length 3.7 mm, height 1.9 mm, anterior length 1.0 mm.
Type Locality: 250m east from Budo, Murakami City; upper
lower Miocene Budo Mudstone Member of Asahi Formation.
Material Examined: Twenty-eight specimens from the
type locality.

Remarks: From the point of view of shell shape, there is
no similar modern or fossil species in Japan. Arca sp. from
the uppermost lower Miocene Kubohara Formation in
Gifu Prefecture by Itoigawa et al. (1981, 1982) has a
similar shell size and an elongate shell. However, Arca
(Arca) budoensis new species has a pointed anterior
end and lower shell than Arca sp.
Arca (Arca) budoensis new species can be included
in the A. noae group of Oliver and Holmes (2006) and
Type 2 by Lutaenko and Maestrati (2007) because of its
wing shape and posterior sulcus. In the western Pacific,
there is no fossil record other than the modern species,
Arca (Arca) navicularis Bruguiére, 1789 belonging to the
same group and type. However, the oldest record of A.
(A.) navicularis is from the Pliocene in Indonesia (Kase
et al., 2008). Arca (Arca) budoensis new species differs
from A. (A.) navicularis by having a lower shell, no
pointed postero-dorsal end and finer radial ribs. In con-
trast, some similar species have been described from the
eastern Pacific. Arca (Arca) cf. hawleyi Reinhart, 1943
from the Eocene Tejon Formation in California, is sim-
ilar to the new species by having a similar size elongated
shell with a pointed anterior end and a strong ridge from
beak to postero-ventral corner. However, Arca (Arca)
budoensis new species has a more posteriorly situated
beak and more distinct radial ribs. A Recent species, Arca
(Arca) pacifica (Sowerby, 1833) from Baja California
to the Galapagos Islands (Coan and Valentich-Scott, 2012)
is similar to the new species in having pointed anterior
end and a concave area behind the strong ridge from
beak to postero-ventral margin. However, Arca (Arca)
budoensis new species has a lower elongate-quadrate
shell, no pointed posterior end, shallower byssal notch and
more numerous fine radial ribs and is much smaller than
A. (Arca) pacifica. Another similar species is Arca (Arca)
truncata (Sowerby, 1833) from San Lucas, Baja California
Page 136
to the Galapagos Islands (Coan and Valentich-Scott,
2012). It resembles Arca (Arca) budoensis new spe-
cies in its low elongate quadrate outline. Arca (Arca)
budoensis new species has a pointed antero-dorsal end,
a posterior sulcus and an oblique posterior margin which
are never observed in the much larger A. (A.) truncata.
Distribution: Only from the type locality.
Etymology: Named for locality from where this species
was collected.
DISCUSSION
The present paper is the first to describe and illustrate
fossils from the Budo Member. Arca (Arca) budoensis
new species and its associated species indicate a
shallow-marine environment. The occurrences of the
dinoflagellate cysts Lingulodinium machaerophorum (cold-
intolerant/thermophilic) and Tuberculodinium vancam-
poae (tropical to subtropical) suggest the influence of a
warm current (Head, 1997: de Vernal and Marret, 2007).
Moreover, the occurrence of a freshwater alga Pediastrum
sp. suggests proximity to a river that fed the embayment.
This inference was also supported by the sedimentary
facies analysis (Igarashi and Kurita, 2007). The shallow-
marine molluscan fauna herein described is different from
the tropical to subtropical Arcid-Potamid fauna (Tsuda,
1965), despite them sharing a similar paleoenvironment.
Recently Yanagisawa and Watanabe (2017) postulated that the
occurrence of the Arcid-Potamid fauna in Japan was confined
to the interval of 17.0 to 16.7 Ma. As the Budo Member was
deposited slightly later (16.6 to 15.9 Ma) than the Arcid-
Potamid fauna, it does not include any characteristic species of
the fauna. However, most species of Type 2 and the Arca noae
group to which Arca (Arca) budoensis new species belongs
live in warm water which is concordant with the paleo-
environment inferred by the dinoflagellate cysts.
As described here, Arca (Arca) budoensis new
species resembles both fossil and modern species from
the eastern Pacific, not from the western Pacific. In the
early Miocene, six bivalve genera and one subgenus have
been recognized as immigrants from the eastern Pacific to
the west during the early to early middle Miocene. The
taxa include the venerids Securella, Kaneharaia, Comp-
somyax, the hiattelid Panomya, the rock-boring myid
Platyodon, the Pholadid Penitella, and the tellinid sub-
genus Rexithaerus (Amano, 2005). One modern species of
the Type 2 (Lutaenko and Maestrati, 2007) in the western
Pacific, Arca (Arca) navicularis first appeared only in the
Pliocene of Java, Indonesia (Kase et al., 2008). Thus, Arca
(Arca) budoensis new species was derived from the
ancestor which migrated from the eastern Pacific to Japan
at least by the early Miocene.

Organotins, such as tributyltin (TBT), are chemical
compounds added to antifouling paint that were used
worldwide on oceangoing vessels from the 1960s until 2008,
when the International Maritime Organization banned
them globally through the International Convention on
the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems on Ships
(Horiguchi, 2017; Laranjeiro et al., 2018). The use of
organotins adversely impacted growth, development, and
reproduction in numerous marine organisms (Horiguchi,
2017; Vogt et al., 2018). Despite the global ban, organotins
can persist in the environment for decades (Filipkowska
et al., 2014; Horiguchi, 2017), thus still posing a threat to
susceptible species. In gastropods, organotin exposure can
lead to the development of a condition known as imposex
(Bryan et al., 1988; Horiguchi, 2017). Imposex is the
superimposition of male reproductive tissues (ie., penis
and vas deferens) onto female gastropods and is caused
by disruption of the neuroendocrine system (Oberdorster
et al., 2005; Horiguchi, 2017). Continued exposure to
organotins increases masculinization in females and can
reduce fecundity (Averbuj and Penchaszadeh, 2010). In
severe cases, the vaginal opening is blocked, resulting
in sterility (Bryan et al., 1988; Horiguchi et al., 1995),
ultimately leading to large population declines (Cadee
et al., 1995; Horiguchi et al., 2006). Imposex in the natural
environment is almost exclusively associated with orga-
notin exposure (Oehlmann et al., 2007; Sternberg et al.,
2010; Horiguchi, 2017), to the point that imposex in
gastropods is used as a biomarker for TBT contamination
(Oehlmann et al., 2007; Horiguchi, 2017).
The incidence of gastropod imposex is higher near
shipping channels, industrial seaports, and marinas (Li
and Collin 2009; Averbuj and Penchaszadeh, 2010;
Laranjeiro et al., 2018). The Queen Conch, Aliger gigas
(Linnaeus, 1758), is a large, gonochoristic marine gas-
tropod that has been protected in Florida since 1986
because of overfishing. A well-documented breeding
ageregation of Queen Conch (Berry et al., 2016) sits
adjacent to Port Everglades (Figure 1), one of the busiest
industrial seaports in the United States (http:/Awww.
porteverglades.net). And while TBT-induced imposex
in areas of elevated boating activity occur in the Caribbean
(Titley-O’Neal et al., 2011), imposex has never been re-
ported in Queen Conch in Florida.
We conducted a demographic survey of the Port Ev-
erglades Queen Conch aggregation on August 30, 2007,
and another on June 27, 2018. A 100-m tape was deployed
along one margin of the aggregation; five secondary tapes
were then placed perpendicular to the primary tape at
random intervals. A secondary tape extended either 100 m
into the aggregation or, if positioned at a point at which
the aggregation was less than 100 m wide, to its distant
margin. Scuba divers counted all adult Queen Conch
(defined as having a fully flared lip approximately 10 mm
thick or more) within 1 m either side of the secondary
tapes to estimate the density of the aggregation. Identi-
fying the sex of a conch in situ requires turning it over and
patiently waiting for its body to emerge. Because of the
time constraints of scuba surveys, individuals were not
sexed, but reproductive behaviors (i.e., mating and egg
laying) were noted.
Our two aggregation surveys yielded comparable re-
sults in terms of density and the percentage of Queen
Conch engaged in reproductive behaviors. In 2007, we
surveyed 1000 m* and counted 73 adult Queen Conch, for
a density of 730 ha +. Of these, 5.5% were mating and
9.6% were laying egg masses. During the 2018 survey, we
surveyed 850 m~ and counted 42 adult Queen Conch, for
a density of 494 ha *. Of these, 4.8% were mating and
11.9% were laying egg masses.
During the 2018 survey, nine female conchs (so
identified because they were mating or egg laying) were
collected for assessment of ovarian condition. After re-
moving the bodies from their shells, we observed and
recorded that some of these females exhibited imposex
(Figure 2). We moved on to collect a sample of ovary
tissue from each female, excising a piece of tissue ap-
proximately 1 cm® from the middle of each ovary. The
samples were placed in labeled plastic cassettes and fixed
for seven days in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Fol-
lowing fixation, we prepared the ovarian tissues for
histological assessment of ovarian maturity and the per-
centage of developed ovarian tissue using the methods of
Delgado et al. (2004). For each female, we also recorded

four morphological measurements, as described by
Delgado et al. (2019): shell length, lip thickness, shell
weight, and body weight. Unpaired t-tests, performed in
Sigma Plot 13 (Systat Software Inc., San Jose, CA, USA),
were used to test for differences in histology and mor-
phology between females exhibiting imposex and normal
females. Results were considered statistically significant if
Pi 0205,
For each female, we ranked the severity of imposex
using the scale developed by Cob et al. (2011), which
ranges from 0 (i.e., normal; no imposex) to 3 (i.e., having a
complete penis). Imposex was observed in four of the nine
females (44.4%). One female was characterized as having
stage-1 imposex (Figure 2). The other three females were
characterized as having stage-2 imposex (Figure 2). From
histology, all four females with imposex were classified as
ripe and spawning-capable (i.e., they had tertiary vitel-
logenic oocytes, with oocytes in the oviduct; Figure 3).
Imposex-affected and normal females did not differ sig-
nificantly in shell length (¢ = —1.514; df = 7; P = 0.174),
Page 139
lip thickness (¢ = 0.037; df = 7; P = 0.972), shell weight
(t = 1.275; df = 7; P = 0.243), body weight (t = —1.976;
df = 7; P = 0.089), or the percentage of developed ovarian
tissue. (f= 1 O3ldt ="7.-P = 0.225) able 1);
This is the first documented case of imposex in Queen
Conch in Florida. While we did not test for the presence
of organotins at the aggregation site, the proximity to a
major shipping port suggests that organotin exposure was
the likely cause of the malady (Oehlmann et al., 2007;
Sternberg et al., 2010; Horiguchi, 2017). The marine
habitats surrounding Port Everglades are almost certainly
contaminated with organotins that predate the antifoulant
ban in 2008 as evident by the fact that the nearby disposal
site for dredged material from Port Everglades is heavily
contaminated by organotins (U.S. EPA and USACE
2020). Although organotin is banned from being sold in 67
countries, it is still manufactured and sold in many Ca-
ribbean and South American countries (Turner and
Glegg, 2014). Ships originating from these countries may
be a more recent source of contamination.
There may be other endocrine disruptors that might be
causing imposex at Port Everglades, but the over-
whelming evidence from the literature suggests organotin
exposure (Oehlmann et al., 2007; Sternberg et al., 2010;
Horiguchi, 2017). That said, the extent of organotin
contamination around South Florida is unknown. Future
research should include water, sediment, and tissue assays
to determine the extent of organotin contamination
around South Florida and could also include a local
member of the widespread Stramonita haemastoma
(Linnaeus, 1767) species complex such as Stramonita
floridana (Conrad, 1837) to serve as a bioindicator (sensu
Stickle and Zhang, 2003; Limaverde et al., 2007)
In contrast to studies finding that imposex negatively
affects reproduction in gastropods (Horiguchi et al., 2006;
Lahbib et al., 2009; Averbuj and Penchaszadeh, 2010),

atresia (i.e., resorption of some vitellogenic oocytes) can also be seen.
the >40% incidence rate of imposex in our samples did
not seem to affect reproductive activities. The percentage
of Queen Conch mating and laying eggs in the Port
Everglades aggregation was similar to that reported
elsewhere in Florida (Delgado and Glazer, 2020), where
no imposex has been reported (Delgado et al., 2004,
2019). Based on histology, the ovaries of the females
afflicted with imposex were indistinguishable from those
of normal, ripe females. This may be because, while the
incidence rate of imposex was relatively high, the severity
of the affliction was not in the advanced stages. The

females we examined were engaged in reproductive ac-
tivities, which may have biased our results; there may be
females within the aggregation with more severe cases of
imposex that are not reproductively active. Future re-
search might explore the relationship between age and
imposex severity and incidence rate, because older fe-
males will have been exposed longer.
Studies of imposex in other strombids have reported
morphological differences between imposex-affected and
normal females. In Strombus pugilis Linnaeus, 1758 and
Conomurex luhuanus (Linnaeus, 1758), imposex-affected
females were larger and heavier than normal females
(Reed, 1993, 1995). In Laevistrombus canarium (Lin-
naeus, 1758), imposex-affected females had larger and
heavier shells but lighter bodies than did normal females
(Cob et al., 2008). However, we did not observe statis-
tically significant differences in gross morphology be-
tween imposex-affected and normal females. This may
have been because of the comparatively mild severity of
imposex in the females we examined.
Imposex can cause population declines in gastropods
(Cadee et al., 1995; Horiguchi et al., 2006), but this was
not observed in Queen Conch at Port Everglades. The
J.N. Voss et al., 2020
demographics of the aggregation remained steady over
our two surveys and were consistent with those reported
by Berry et al. (2016). Berry et al. (2016), however, noted
abnormal egg masses at the Port Everglades aggregation.
Normal egg masses are crescent shaped and covered with
sand; the abnormal ones were stringy and not covered
with sand (Berry et al., 2016: fig 7). We also observed
females laying abnormal egg masses. In other gastropods,
egg laying becomes disrupted in advanced stages of
imposex (Horiguchi, 2017), which may explain why some
Queen Conch females at Port Everglades lay abnormal
egg masses, but further study is needed.
It is unknown whether the offspring of imposex-
affected females are as viable as those from normal
Queen Conch. Other pollutants can cause transgenera-
tional effects in mollusks that reduce larval growth and
survival (Nice et al., 2003) and juvenile fitness (Osborne
et al., 2020). If the veligers and juveniles from imposex-
affected Queen Conch are compromised, this may have
negative consequences for larval connectivity to down-
stream populations and metapopulation persistence.
Beyond the effects on Queen Conch, the results from
this study highlight the deleterious impacts that society may
have on wildlife resources that are juxtaposed closely to
urban centers. Organotins represent only one in a much
wider suite of chemicals that enter the South Florida
nearshore marine environment from sources as diverse as
agriculture (e.g., fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides), indus-
try, recreation (e.g., golf course fertilization and pesticide
application), and residential activities (e.g., sewage). How
society values these resources and prioritizes the mitigation
of the pernicious threats associated with point and non-
point sources of pollution will ultimately determine the
overall health of nearshore ecosystems and the sustain-
ability of the resources they support.

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
The Nautilus publishes articles on all aspects of the bi-
ology, paleontology, and systematics of mollusks. Manu-
scripts describing original, unpublished research and
review articles will be considered. Brief articles, not ex-
ceeding 1000 words, will be published as Research Notes
and do not require an abstract.
Manuscripts: Each original manuscript and accompanying
illustrations should be submitted to the editor via e-mail.
Authors should follow the general recommendations of
Scientific Style and Format—The CSE Manual for Au-
thors, Editors, and Publishers, available from the Council
of Science Editors at http://www.scientificstyleandformat.
org/Home.html.
The first mention of a scientific name in the text should
be accompanied by the taxonomic authority, including —
year. Metric, not English, units are to be used. The se-
quence of sections ous be Title, Author(s) and Affili-
ations, Abstract, Additional Keywords, Introduction,
| Watérials and Methods, Results, Discussion, (haueloae
Acknowledgments, Literature Cited, Tables, Figure
Captions, Figures. If the author for correspondence is not
the senior author, please indicate in a footnote. The ab-
stract should summarize in 250 words or less the scope,
main results, and conclusions of the article. Abstracts
should be followed by a list of additional keywords. All
references cited in the text must appear in the Literature
Cited section and vice-versa. Please follow a recent issue
of The Nautilus for bibliographic style, noting that journal
titles must be unabbreviated. Information on plates and
figures should be cited only if not included within the
pagination of cited work. Tables must be numbered and
each placed on a separate page. If in doubt, please follow
a recent issue of the journal for sequence of sections and
other style requirements.
Illustrations: Illustrations are rendered either at full-
page width (maximum width 17 cm) or column width
(maximum width 8.2 cm). Please take these dimensions
into consideration when preparing illustrations. Page-
width illustrations ideally should span the entire width of
printed page (17 cm). “Tall” page-width illustrations
should be avoided, square or “landscape” formats work
better. Please design plates accordingly, such that there
will be enough space left at the bottom of printed page for
plate caption. (Digital technology has made this task much
easier. )
All line drawings must be in black, clearly detailed, and
completely labeled. Abbreviation definitions must be
included in the caption. Line drawings must be high
resolution fi les at least 600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution
at actual size. Standard digital formats for line drawings
include .tif, .bmp, .psd, .eps, and .pdf.
Photographs may be submitted in black-and-white or
color, preferably in RGB mode if in color. Standard digital
formats for photographs include tif, .psd, .jpg, or -pdf.
Photographs must be high resolution files at least 300 dpi
resolution at actual (printed) size.
If more than one figure is included in an illustration,
all figures are to be consecutively numbered (Figures
Lian Oa), NOT Figures TA; hB, iG. _NOR Plate 1,
Figure i. Te 6) Hastcatlons with more than one
figure, make sure that blank areas between figures
should be kept to a minimum, thereby allowing for
more area for each individual figure.
Compressed (e.g., .jpg) or other low-resolution file
formats may be used to facilitate original submission and
the review process, but may not be acceptable at final
submission (see below).
Types and Voucher Specimens: Deposition of the
holotype in a recognized institutional, public collection is
a requirement for publication of articles in which new
species-level taxa are described. Deposition of paratypes
in institutional collections is strongly recommended, as is
the deposition of representative voucher specimens for all
other types of research work.
The Editorial Process: Upon receipt, all manuscripts
are assigned a number and acknowledged. The editor
reserves the right to return manuscripts that are sub-
standard or not appropriate in scope for journal: Manu-
scripts deemed appropriate for the journal will be sent for
critical review to at least two reviewers. The reviewers’
recommendations will serve as basis for rejection or
continuation of the editorial process. Reviewed manu-
scripts will be sent back to authors for consideration of the
reviewers comments. The revised version of the manu-
script may at this point be considered accepted for
publication by the journal.
Final Submission: Authors of accepted manuscripts are
required to submit a final version to the editor at jleal@
shellmuseum.org. High-resolution image files may be sent
to the editor at this stage.
Proofs: After typesetting, proofs will be sent to the author.
Author should read proofs carefully and send corrections to
the editor within 48 hours. Changes other than typesetting
errors will be charged to the author at cost.
Offprints: An order form for offprints will accompany the
proofs. Offprints will be ordered directly from the editor.
Authors with institutional, grant, or other research sup-
port will be asked to pay for page charges at the rate of $60
per page.
