Species / Strombidae

Stromboidea

  • Strombidae Rafinesque, 1815

Original Diagnosis of Strombia by Rafinesque, 1815, p. 145:

  • "18. Famille. Canalifera. Les Canaliferes. Coquille à bouche canaliculée.
    • "1. S.F. ...."
    • "2. S.F. Strombia, Les Strombiens. Bord de la base ou bouche, dilaté en aile laterale. G.: 13. Strombus L. 14. Pterocera Lam. 17. Rostellaria Lam."

The family Strombidae contain several genera:

History and Synonymy

Strombidae Rafinesque, 1815:145 [as Strombia]

  • syn.: Dilatilabridae Bandel, 2007
  • syn.: Pteroceridae Haller, 1892:538
  • syn.: Strombea Anton, 1839:84
  • syn.: Strombusidae Fleming, 1822:491

1822

Strombusidae Fleming, 1822

Fleming, 1822, p. 491:

  • "Family 4. Strombusidae. Canal short, and bent towards the right. The outer margin of the aperture becomes palmated with age, and exhibits a second canal, generally near the former, for the passage of the head. The following are the genera: Strombus, Pterocera, and Rostellaria."

1839

Strombea Anton, 1839:84

1892

Pteroceridae Haller, 1892

Haller, 1892, p. 538:

  • 2. "Unterabtheilung: N. [Neotaenioglossae] longicommissurata. 1. Fa. Tritonidae. 2. Fam. Dolidae. 3. Fam. Strombidae. 4. Fam. Pteroceridae."

2005

Simone, 2005, p. 262:

  • "The remaining strombids, from node 10 to 14, with 2, 5, 3 and 2 synapomorphies respectively, represent the species currently included in the genus Strombus (except Lambis). However, with Lambis in the middle of the Strombus taxa, a division of the genus is necessary, or it is required to consider Lambis as subgenus or synonym of Strombus. An apparently good taxonomical resolution appears if the respective subgenera are transformed in genera."

2007

Bandel, 2007 defines Dilatilabridae

  • Original Diagnosis of Dilatilabridae by Bandel, 2007 :
    • "Shell shape resembles that of Strombus with thick, flaring outer lip, which has a sinus on its posterior end, a wide siphonal canal, but lacks the characteristic stromboid notch of the Strombidae. The type is Dilatilabrum fortisi Brongniart, 1823 with the shell about 130 mm high from the Eocene of Italy (Cossmann, 1904: pl. 1, fig. 7), and Hungary (Strausz, 1966: pl. 10, figs. 2 & 7)."
  • Comment:
    • (U. Wieneke:) The family is not accepted here. There are specimen of Dilatilabrum fortisi with a stromboid notch, which is very shallow. Bandel, 2007 himself presents a picture of a specimen with stromboid notch (Bandel, 2007 , fig. 14 c). Other species of Dilatilabrum show a shallow stromboid notch, too. see Dilatilabrum. So there is no character that separates Dilatilabridae from Strombidae.

Reports

Jeanette & Scott Johnson about Strombidae from Kwajalein Atoll:

  • "We have seen strombid herds in only a few species,and sometimes the term "herd" might not be appropriate. Sinustrombus taurus, for example, is often found in groups spread over up to about 100m of sandy or rubbly reef flat, but the grouping usually consists of discrete pairs or trios separated by some distance from similar pairs or trios."
  • "I have noticed trios sometimes instead of pairs in such species as S. taurus, Lambis lambis, L. truncata and Harpago chiragra (and maybe a few others). I cannot say I know how to distinguish sexes in some, but in others where I can make a guess--such as L. lambis where the female has the long upward pointing fingers, and H. chiragra, where the males are usually significantly smaller, it is nearly always a single female with two males."

A lot of the genus names were often used as subgenus names. Using them here as genus names follows the approach of

  • H. Raven (2002).
  • H. Dekker (2002).
  • G. C. Kronenberg and A. W. Burger (2002 a)
  • G. C. Kronenberg and G. J. Vermeij (2002 b)
  • G. C. Kronenberg (2002 c)
  • G. C. Kronenberg, 2008

Recent Strombidae live in tropical and subtropical seas, in shallow or very shallow water. They are herbivorous or detritivorous. Some species show sexual dimorphism: the female shells are usually larger than the male ones.
