The Journal Of Malacology Vol 10

Excerpt from The Journal of Malacology, Vol. 10: Established in 1890 as "the Conchologist, a Journal of Malacology" Recently, I described and figured a shell from Kelantan, under the name Rhodina (?) mirabilis. I felt some doubt as to whether the form really belonged to de Morgan's genus, as the single species he referred to it- was, and is, unknown to me. Dr. Moellendorff expressed the view that the form did really belong to de Morgan's genus. Whether this be so or not the name Bhodina cannot be used in Molluscs, having been employed by Guenee in 1854 for an Australian butterfly. Under these circumstances I propose the new genus Plieaxis and take as the type my Rhodina (?) mirabilis. I feel but little doubt that de Morgan's R.perakensis also belongs here. Dr. Moellendorfl suggests that the group should be reduced to a sub-genus of Prosopeas, but it appears to me to be distinct from the typical Nicobar forms; it may be remarked, with regard to this last name, that Prosopea and Prosopeus had previously been used in Zoology.

Excerpt from The Journal of Malacology, Vol. 3: Established in 1890 as "the Conchologist" A Journal of Malacology In the most recent catalogue of the slugs Professor Cockerell includes under Gray's family Veronicellid the following genera: - Veronicella, Leonardia Othelosoma (?), Rathouisia, Atopos and Prisma making a total of 140 distinct species. A very large proportion of these have been created by Dr. Simroth and Professor Semper upon good anatomical grounds, but many others have been named upon purely external characters, and sooner or later will have to be removed from the list. The genus and its affinities are but imperfectly understood, and it is to be hoped that those malacologists who have opportunities for studying living material will endeavour to add to our knowledge of the anatomy. Recently I have obtained examples, in alcohol, of V. birmanica Theob., and although not in a good condition for anatomical purposes, they show all the external features as well as could be desired. In comparing them with the published accounts I find the description of the foot-sole is very inadequate, and so venture to re-describe the same. Under the generic title of Vaginulus this species was described by Theobald in 1864, later by Nevill, and in 1873 by Stoliczka.
