ON THE NEW NAMES INTRODUCED IN THE VARIOUS PRINTINGS OF 'SHELLS OF THE WORLD IN COLOUR' [VOL. Ⅰ BY TADASHIGE HABE AND KIYOSHI ITO; VOL. Ⅱ BY TADASHIGE HABE AND SADAO KOSUGE]

摘要

The two volumes of "Shells of the World in Colour" (Vol. Ⅰ, "The Northern Pacific" by Habe & Ito; Vol. Ⅱ, "The Tropical Pacific" by Habe & Kosuge) contain many gastropod and bivalve names denoted as new therein. Some of these are nomina nuda made available only in later publications. However, the volumes also contain new taxa that are made available but not indicated as such. The problem is compounded by the existence of multiple printings of both volumes in which unexplained nomenclatural changes have been made. Forty-four species-group names and two genus-group names date from these works. Twelve genus-group names indicated as new were not made available until later. All pertinent treatments of these taxa are listed.
