The identity of Maculauger alveolatus is discussed and three additional new species are described which were historically assigned to M. alveolatus. New taxa: Maculauger dancei n. sp., Maculauger kutolowskii n. sp., Maculauger vachoni n. sp. 9 pp., 2 color plates, 4.

An iconographic and taxonomic re-evaluation of the East Atlantic Terebridae species was opportune with the aid of material gathered during the last three decades since their first major revision. The major revisions are expanded with additional information and illustrations, taxa described since then are discussed and a novel species is described from the Cape Verde Islands. New taxon: Oxymeris swinneni n. sp. 21 pp., 7 plates, 4.

All 35 Buccinum names, including 5 names indicated by a single character, described from Newfoundland by Theodor Anton Verkrüzen in the years 1878 to 1884 are discussed. Their original descriptions are translated from German to English. Type material of 24 of them is figured. In addition, shells connected to 14 manuscript names are figured. Part of the type material is preserved in the Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut (SMF, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and was already discussed by Kobelt (1883) and Zilch (1969). The whereabouts of the remaining type specimens remained unknown until we discovered them recently in the Natural History Museum (NHMUK, London, United Kingdom), where most of them were acquired in 1911 as part of the Museum Normanianum (Alfred Merle Norman, 1831-1918). In the present paper we figure these type specimens: the ones from SMF for the first time photographed in colour, the ones from NHMUK for the first time ever. We compare these species and forms with each other and with similar species, trying to ascertain their status. Our purpose is to improve the systematic knowledge and nomenclatural stability, hoping to reduce the chaos that hampers the systematics of the genus Buccinum. In particular, the identity and natural history of Buccinum inexhaustum Verkrüzen, 1881 is investigated, a lectotype is selected and the taxon is compared to other species and to interpretations thereof by subsequent authors. We place B.meridionale Verkrüzen, 1884 in synonymy with B.inexhaustum instead of with B.undatum. Furthermore, we confirm B.gouldii Verrill, 1882 being a junior synonym of B.inexhaustum. The type material of B.variabile is found to be heterogeneous, therefore a lectotype is selected to clarify its identity in accordance with the original description, but no nomen novum is produced for this junior homonym. We confirm B.amaliae Verkrüzen, 1878 and B.conspicuum Verkrüzen, 1878 being synonyms of B.undatum Linnaeus, 1758. We confirm B.elegans Verkrüzen, 1878 being a synonym of B.terraenovae Beck in Mörch, 1867. In addition, we list the historical details that we could retrieve about Theodor Anton Verkrüzen's life, to offer the reader a broader context. 94 pp., 71 figs, 9 plates, br. 4.

This book is dedicated to a large family of seashells that form an important element of the marine faunas in tropical and subtropical regions. The species of Terebridae have always been popular because of their exquisite needle shapes, often bright colorations, and geometric patterns. Aspects of their biology and taxonomy are discussed and 510 species are illustrated. 76 pp., full color, hardcover gr. 8 [19.5 x 27.5 cm].

A revision of the terebrid genus Granuliterebra (Oyama, 1961), is carried out, a new terebrid genus, Pellifronia n. gen., and three new tererbrid species, Granuliterebra oliverai n. sp., G. eddunhami n. sp., and Myurella lineaperlata n. sp. are described from the Vanuatu Archipelago. Conchological characters were used in the analysis of specimen gathered from two recent major expeditions to the Vanuatu Archipelago by the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle. A total of 106 terebrid species in the bathymetrical range of 0-200 m, representing the Philippines, New Caledonia and Vanuatu were used in a comparative study. There is a 65% overlap of the terebrid fauna found in Santo and in the Philippines and New Caledonia. 116 pp., 68+11 figs, 13 maps, 22 pls, br. 4.
