HELLO EVERYBODY
Linnaeus listed 708 Molluscs:
4 Chitons (only one valid)
4 Tusks
5 Barnacles !!
19 Cephalopoda ( with 1 gastro & 14 foraminifera inside )
14 "Serpula" ( with 3 worms, 4 Vermetidae, 2 Clavagellidae & 5 ununknown to
me)
223 Bivalvia ( with 17 Brachiopoda & 3 Pteropoda inside )
439 Gastroppoda.
Could anyone help me to identify the last 29 linnean species with their
extant names.
Linnaeus put them in 7 genera:
6 TURBO: personatus, cochlus, margaritaceus, reflexus, replicatus &
annulatus
10 HELIX (mostly land & freshwater snails): oculuscapri, striatula, leucas,
cornumilitare,
scabra, gothica, hispana, fragilis, limosa & balthica
1 NERITA: bidens
1 HALIOTIS: striata
5 PATELLA: neritoidea, tuberculata, lutea, fusca & cruciata
1 DENTALIUM: minutum
5 "SERPULA": seminulum, plnorbis, ringens, intricata & contorplicata.
They certainly change their genus name but perhaps not their species name.
I think it is an exciting challenge for a beginner or not to put on a table
the first
scientifically named shells.
