Recent Occurrences of Opah, <I>Lampris Guttatus</I> (Actinopterygii, Lampriformes, Lampridae), in the Western Mediterranean Sea

“…guttatus is considered to occur along the French Mediterranean coast of Provence, and few clear records have been published: Risso (1826), one specimen beached close to Nice (probably the first record of this species along the French Mediterranean coast); Cuvier and Valenciennes (1835) record one specimen fished in 1829 close to Toulon, and another one near Marseille in 1829 while Marion (1883) records 2 individuals in Marseille bay. In the latter record no details are being given and they could be the same individuals reported by Cuvier and Valenciennes (1835).…”

Taxonomic review of Berthella and Berthellina (Gastropoda: Pleurobranchoidea) from Brazil, with description of two new species

“…The shell of B. stellata was described as white or translucent by many authors (RISSO 1826, PEASE 1860, RISBEC 1928, while only ER. MARCUS (1957) described it as brown for B. tupala and BURN (1962) as pale fawn for B. postrema.…”

Late Eocene (Priabonian) brachiopod fauna from Dnipropetrovsk, eastern Ukraine

“…By its ornamentation Joania ukrainica sp. nov. is easily distinguishable from the type species J. cordata (Risso, 1826) whose shell is subtriangular in outline and smooth or covered with imperceptible costae (Logan 1979;Bitner 1990Bitner , 1993Bitner & Kaim 2004;Álvarez et al 2008;Bitner & Motchurova 2016).…”

“…-This species is relatively common in the Dnipropetrovsk assemblage. Externally, in outline and poorly defined ribs it resembles somewhat Joania cordata (Risso, 1826) but differs strongly internally by the lack of marginal tubercles (Logan 1979;Bitner 1990Bitner , 1993Bitner et al 2013a;Bitner & Motchurova 2016).…”
