“…The Cerithiopsidae of the Indo-Pacific have been subject to numerous in-depth studies ( Cecalupo and Perugia 2011 , 2013 , 2014a , b , 2016 , 2017a , b , 2018 , 2019a , b , c ). Still, this species does not fit any of the known species.…”

New data on 52 non-indigenous mollusks in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is reported. Fossarus sp. (aff. aptus sensu Blatterer 2019), Coriophora lessepsiana Albano, Bakker & Sabelli, sp. nov., Cerithiopsis sp. aff. pulvis, Joculator problematicus Albano & Steger, sp. nov., Cerithiopsis sp., Elachisina sp., Iravadia aff. elongata, Vitrinella aff. Vitrinella sp. 1 (sensu Blatterer 2019), Melanella orientalis, Parvioris aff. dilecta, Odostomia cf. dalli, Oscilla virginiae, Parthenina cossmanni, Parthenina typica, Pyrgulina craticulata, Turbonilla funiculata, Cylichna collyra, Musculus coenobitus, Musculus aff. viridulus, Chavania erythraea, Scintilla cf. violescens, Iacra seychellarum and Corbula erythraeensis are new records for the Mediterranean. An unidentified gastropod, Skeneidae indet., Triphora sp., Hypermastus sp., Sticteulima sp., Vitreolina cf. philippi, Odostomia (s.l.) sp. 1, Henrya (?) sp., and Semelidae sp. are further potential new non-indigenous species although their status should be confirmed upon final taxonomic assessment. Additionally, the status of Dikoleps micalii, Hemiliostraca clandestinacomb. nov. and H. athenamariaecomb. nov. is changed to non-indigenous, range extensions for nine species and the occurrence of living individuals for species previously recorded from empty shells only are reported. Opimaphora blattereri Albano, Bakker & Sabelli, sp. nov. is described from the Red Sea for comparison with the morphologically similar C. lessepsiana Albano, Bakker & Sabelli, sp. nov. The taxonomic part is followed by a discussion on how intensive fieldwork and cooperation among institutions and individuals enabled such a massive report, and how the poor taxonomic knowledge of the Indo-Pacific fauna hampers non-indigenous species detection and identification. Finally, the hypothesis that the simultaneous analysis of quantitative benthic death assemblages can support the assignment of non-indigenous status to taxonomically undetermined species is discussed.

“…Cecalupo & Robba (2011) have applied to the ICZN (under Article 75.6 of the Code), with the aim to conserve the current usage of the name Cerithiopsis tubercularis (Montagu, 1803), and the Commission has been asked to set aside the previous type fixation (Marshall, 1978) for Murex tubercularis Montagu, 1803 and to designate as neotype a ‘probable syntype BMNH 20090384’ (consistent with the current usage).…”

“…Although the types of Murex tubercularis Montagu, 1803 are not conspecific with any of the species in this complex (and the nomenclatural issue is under examination by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN): see Cecalupo & Robba, 2011, and Prkić et al, 2012, for a recent review on this subject), we will conservatively use hereafter the binomen ‘ Cerithiopsis tubercularis ’ in the sense adopted by nearly all authors in the past 160 years.…”

The ectoparasitic gastropod genus Cerithiopsis Forbes & Hanley, 1850 was nominally based on Murex tubercularis Montagu, 1803. We have used the DNA barcode COI sequences to assay sympatric samples of morphotypes recently described as distinct species of the Cerithiopsis tubercularis-complex. Our results demonstrated that, in the Croatian waters, the gastropods usually called C. tubercularis in fact comprise a complex of cryptic species, which can be reliably diagnosed only by examining the soft parts. In the present study we have demonstrated that the colour pattern of the head-foot is diagnostic at the species level in this complex and, coupled with genetic data, may provide a sounding base for a revision of the cerithiopsids of the European coasts.

A complete list of new molluscan taxa introduced by Col. George Montagu (1753-1815) is presented. The available type material of these taxa are itemised and illustrated. The majority are present in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter with a smaller number in the Natural History Museum, London. The historic background of both collections is reviewed with special reference to the many non-British species spuriously introduced into Testacea Britannica and its Supplement.
