The families Cocculinidae and Pseudococculinidae are represented in New Zealand by the following species (fossil taxa asterisked): Cocculinidae -Cocculina cervae Fleming, G. pristina n. hestica n. sp, New South Wales representatives are the cocculinids Coccopigya crinita and C. barbatula n. spp., and the pseudococculinids Pseudococculina gregoria, Notocrater ponderi, and Kurilabyssia antipodensis n. spp, A new subfamily, Caymanabyssiinae, is proposed for Caymanabyssia Moskalev and Colotrachelus n. gen. Tentaoculus lithodicola and T. neolithodicola live on the carapaces of living deep-sea stone crabs (Lithodidae), while T. haptricola eats decaying algal holdfasts at bathyal depths; unique and hitherto unrecorded associations for the Mollusca. So far as is known, al1 other species recorded use waterlogged wood as a substratum and food source. Cocculinid and pseudococculinid phylogeny and distribution are discussed. Cocculinella coercita (Hedley) (Cocculinellidae) is re-illustrated and compared with C. kopua and C. osteophila Marshall, Lectotypes are designated for Pseudococculina rugosoplicata Schepman and Acmaea parva var. tasmanica Pilsbry. Cocculina meridionalis (Hedley) and Acmaea eccentrica Test are synoymised with Acmaea parva var. tasmanica Pilsbry, which together with Scutellinaalboradiata Verco, is referred to Propilidium Forbes and Hanley (Lepetidae).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
