Abstract

Notes on the taxonomy, distribution and natural history of some eastern Chukchi Sea mollusks. Including: validation of the misunderstood Neptunea middendorffiana MacGinitie, 1859, based on its egg cases; discussion of the enigmatic Volutopsius callorhinus Dall, 1877 previously known as Anomalosipho rodgersi (Gould, 1860); the peculiar egg towers of what appears to be Buccinum obsoletum Golikov, 1980; new distribution records for Colus sabini (Gray, 1824), Buccinum beringense Golikov, 1980 and Neoiphinoe echinata Egorav & Alexeyev, 1998; the first record of brooding behavior in Trichotropis bicarinata (Sowerby, 1825); and the identity and validity of Plicifusus johanseni Dall, 1919, and Pseudopolinices nanus (Møller, 1842) a species in need of a new name.
