浙江沿海荔枝螺属(腹足纲:骨螺科)分类学研究

荔枝螺(Thais)是海洋动物区系中重要的软体动物类群之一,在系统分类中占有相当重要的地位。生物地理系统印度洋-太平洋地区软体动物数据库记录荔枝螺属4亚属34种;国际生物资料库ZipcodeZoo.com荔枝螺属种以及亚种共记录137种,未见亚属的划分;张素萍等(2005)共鉴定出中国近海荔枝螺属20种,隶属于3个亚属;巫文隆(2003)记录了我国台湾地区12种荔枝螺。由于区域差别和鉴定者的局限,可能存在着一些同种异名或同名异种的现象。因此,对荔枝螺进行系统分类研究,可以丰富荔枝螺的记录,健全海洋生物资料库,对腹足纲的分类也是很有意义的补充。本文根据宁波大学海洋生物工程重点实验室贝类研究室和中国科学院海洋研究所几十年来在浙江沿海采集和保存的标本,以传统的形态分类方法,鉴定出浙江沿海分布的荔枝螺属3亚属7种(其中1新种),并纠正了以往分类上存在的错误和混淆。其中广温广布种2种、亚热带种4种、热带种1种。动物区系属印度-西太平洋区的中国-日本亚区。

Systematic Taxonomy of Thais (Gastropoda:Muricidae)along Zhejiang Coast

Thais is one of the most important genera of Muricidae. It is a group of small to medium species, occur- ring in the intertidal rock shore. They are distributed widely in the world, most of which are tropical species. It is also very common and widespread along the Zhejiang coast, they are carnivorous species, generally feeding on barnacles, polychaetes, bivalves and other gastropods, playing an important role in intertidal bottom com- munity. Due to its sensitivity to the change of environment, it is often...
