    A new cryptic species of Ensis from the Pacific coast of South America based on geometric morphometrics is revealed. Ensis macha (Molina, 1782) is one of the most important shellfish resources in South America. It was historically reported from San Matías Gulf, Argentina in the Atlantic Ocean to the Peruvian coast in the Pacific. A recent study analysed the intraspecific variation of this species along its distribution range and the genetic results indicated the presence of cryptic diversity. Two evolutionary clades were found: a southern clade (from cold-temperate waters) and a northern clade (from warm-temperate waters). New results based on geometric morphometrics supported the description of Ensis loboi n. sp. for the northern clade. The southern clade retains the name due to type locality of E. macha in Chiloé, Chile. The description of Ensis loboi n. sp. for the southeastern Pacific Ocean has important implications for future studies focused on fisheries management and biogeographical radiation of the group.Ensis macha (Molina, 1782) es uno de los recursos marisqueros más importantes de América del Sur. En este trabajo se describe una nueva especie críptica de Ensis que habita las costas del Pacífico de América del Sur, la cual fue revelada mediante la aplicación de morfometría geométrica. Históricamente E. macha fue reportada desde el Golfo San Matías, Argentina hasta las costas del Perú. Un estudio reciente analizó la variación intraespecífica de esta especie a lo largo de su rango de distribución y los resultados genéticos indicaron la presencia de diversidad críptica. Se encontraron dos clados evolutivos: un clado del sur (de aguas templadas frías) y un clado del norte (de aguas templadas cálidas). Nuevos resultados basados en morfometría geométrica 2D apoyaron la descripción de Ensis loboi n. sp. para el clado norte. El clado sur conserva el nombre debido a la localidad tipo de E. macha en Chiloé, Chile. La descripción de Ensis loboi n. sp. para el Océano Pacífico sureste tiene implicaciones importantes para futuros estudios enfocados en el manejo de pesquerías y la radiación biogeográfica del grupo

    A Synoptical Classification of the Bivalvia (Mollusca)

    The following classification summarizes the suprageneric taxono-my of the Bivalvia for the upcoming revision of the Bivalvia volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part N. The development of this classification began with Carter (1990a), Campbell, Hoeks-tra, and Carter (1995, 1998), Campbell (2000, 2003), and Carter, Campbell, and Campbell (2000, 2006), who, with assistance from the United States National Science Foundation, conducted large-scale morphological phylogenetic analyses of mostly Paleozoic bivalves, as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses of living bivalves. Dur-ing the past several years, their initial phylogenetic framework has been revised and greatly expanded through collaboration with many students of bivalve biology and paleontology, many of whom are coauthors. During this process, all available sources of phylogenetic information, including molecular, anatomical, shell morphological, shell microstructural, bio- and paleobiogeographic as well as strati-graphic, have been integrated into the classification. The more recent sources of phylogenetic information include, but are not limited to, Carter (1990a), Malchus (1990), J. Schneider (1995, 1998a, 1998b, 2002), T. Waller (1998), Hautmann (1999, 2001a, 2001b), Giribet and Wheeler (2002), Giribet and Distel (2003), Dreyer, Steiner, and Harper (2003), Matsumoto (2003), Harper, Dreyer, and Steiner (2006), Kappner and Bieler (2006), Mikkelsen and others (2006), Neulinger and others (2006), Taylor and Glover (2006), Kříž (2007), B. Morton (2007), Taylor, Williams, and Glover (2007), Taylor and others (2007), Giribet (2008), and Kirkendale (2009). This work has also benefited from the nomenclator of bivalve families by Bouchet and Rocroi (2010) and its accompanying classification by Bieler, Carter, and Coan (2010).This classification strives to indicate the most likely phylogenetic position for each taxon. Uncertainty is indicated by a question mark before the name of the taxon. Many of the higher taxa continue to undergo major taxonomic revision. This is especially true for the superfamilies Sphaerioidea and Veneroidea, and the orders Pectinida and Unionida. Because of this state of flux, some parts of the clas-sification represent a compromise between opposing points of view. Placement of the Trigonioidoidea is especially problematic. This Mesozoic superfamily has traditionally been placed in the order Unionida, as a possible derivative of the superfamily Unionoidea (see Cox, 1952; Sha, 1992, 1993; Gu, 1998; Guo, 1998; Bieler, Carter, & Coan, 2010). However, Chen Jin-hua (2009) summarized evi-dence that Trigonioidoidea was derived instead from the superfamily Trigonioidea. Arguments for these alternatives appear equally strong, so we presently list the Trigonioidoidea, with question, under both the Trigoniida and Unionida, with the contents of the superfamily indicated under the Trigoniida.Fil: Carter, Joseph G..

Distribution. From North Carolina, USA, to Santa Catarina, Brazil. Remarks. Mactra fragilis was introduced by Chemnitz (1782). However, this work was rejected due to nomenclatorial causes (Direction 1 ICZN 1954, Opinion 184, 1944). Mactra fragilis (Gmelin, 1791), a common species living in the western Atlantic has been cited with other names, i.e.: Lutraria candida Lamarck, 1818 (Figs. 6 B–C); Mactra braziliana Lamarck, 1818 (Figs. 6 D–F); Mactra oblonga Say, 1822 (Figs. 6 G–H); Mactra bilineata Reeve, 1854 (Figs. 6 I–J) and Mactra anserina Guppy, 1875 (Fig. 6 K) which are considered synonyms according to the similarities observed in the type material. Mactra oblonga was erroneously cited by Ravenel (1834) as M. oblongata (nomen nudum). Mactra dealbata Pulteney, 1799, later named as M. tellinoides Pulteney, 1813, is a valid species that was erroneously considered a synonym of M. fragilis by Wood and Hanley (1856), Dall (1894 b), Lamy (1917), among others. This species was mentioned living along the coast of Dorset, England. Mactra ambigua Weinkauff, 1884, cited by Dall (1894 b) as synonym of M. fragilis, is in fact a synonym of M. compressa Spengler, 1802, living along the northern Atlantic coast of Africa. This conclusion was drawn after the revision of Spengler´s mactrid types deposited at ZMUC. Finally, Mactra ovalina Lamarck, 1818, cited as synonym of M. fragilis by Carpenter (1855, in Carpenter, 1855 – 57), Dall (1894 b), and others, is a valid species living in Arabia (Bosch et al. 1995).Published as part of Signorelli, Javier H. & Pastorino, Guido, 2012, Taxonomic revision of Brazilian Mactridae Lamarck, 1809 (Bivalvia: Cardiida), pp. 30-53 in Zootaxa 3245 on pages 38-42, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3245.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/654486

Distribution. From Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua to Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Remarks. The types of M. kempfi (Figs. 2 C–D) and M. inceri, illustrated by Petuch (1998), coincide with Trinitasia iheringi. Mulinia kempfi was synonymized by Rios (1985, p. 243). The analysis of types confirmed this synonymy. When Petuch (1998) described M. inceri, he pointed out shell differences between his species and T. iheringi. They were a less elongated shell, slightly anterior to the midline umbo position, depressed lunule producing a noticeable concavity along the anterior-dorsal area and pallial sinus deeper in Petuch's species. However, those differences must be considered intraspecific and both names considered as synonyms. Trinitasia iheringi was included in different genera in the literature (Dall 1897; Altena, 1971; among others); however, the shell characters suggest the new combination proposed here. It does not belong in Mactra as its type species has a more elongated shell with a hinge characterized by lateral teeth equal in size and shape and a shallower pallial sinus. The absence of concentric external ornamentation, the stronger lateral teeth, the V-shaped pallial sinus and the poorly defined escutcheon suggest that T. iheringi does not belong to the genus Mactrella. In addition, the absence of a well developed keel and differences in hinge morphology separate it from Mactrellona. The genus Trinitasia, introduced by Maury (1928) from the Miocene of Trinidad, was described to include the species Thyasira sanctiandreae Maury, 1925 (Fig. 2 E–F). This genus was placed in Lucinidae by Chavan in Moore (1969: N 505). Later, Woodring (1982) placed it in Mactridae after the examination of additional material. He also examined additional material from two species considered synonyms of Trinitasia sanctiandreae. The first one was described by Weisbord (1929) as Dermatomya harrisi from Tubará formation of Colombia (Fig. 2 G). The second was introduced a few months later by Anderson (1929) as Mactra (Mulinia?) atlanticola from the same locality. The shell characters observed on the three related fossil taxa coincide with those of the types of Dall. The new combination thus provides the first evidence of the Tertiary genus in the living fauna from Brazil.Published as part of Signorelli, Javier H. & Pastorino, Guido, 2012, Taxonomic revision of Brazilian Mactridae Lamarck, 1809 (Bivalvia: Cardiida), pp. 30-53 in Zootaxa 3245 on pages 33-35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3245.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/654486
