Campaniloidea

Globularia fluctuata, from here.

Belongs within: Sorbeoconcha.

The Campaniloidea are a group of marine gastropods united by sperm morphology, with members having a euspermatozoon containing seven or eight stright mitochondria, accompanied by a dense segmented sheath. They also share a simple larval shell morphology (Ponder et al. 2008). The Campaniloidea are largely relictual in the modern fauna, with Campanilidae and Ampullinidae each being represented by only a single surviving species, together with the living genus Plesiotrochus.

Nassa

Sertum rock shell Nassa serta, copyright Jan Delsing.

Belongs within: Rapaninae.

Nassa is a genus of marine gastropods found in the tropical Indo-Pacific, living under stones and coral in intertidal and shallow sublittoral waters. The western Pacific N. serta bears strongly beaded spiral ribs on the shell (Wilson & Gillett 1971).

Characters (from Wilson & Gillett 1971): Ovate, spire moderately high. Whorls rounded. Anterior canal broad, posterior canal not notched into lip but formed behind large opposing denticles on parietal wall and outer lip.

Loxonematoidea

Reconstruction of Medfrazyga clauticae (Palaeozygopleuridae, late Early Devonian) from Frýda & Blodgett (2004).

Falls within: Ptenoglossa.

The Loxonematoidea is a superfamily of gastropods with extremely tall, narrow spires. Gastropods ranging in age from the Silurian to the present day (the deep-sea families Provannidae and Abyssochrysidae) have been assigned to the Loxonematoidea by various authors. However, the Silurian and Devonian loxonematoids of the families Loxonematidae and Palaeozygopleuridae differ in their protoconch morphology from later taxa and it has been suggested that the later families are not closely related to the true loxonematoids but are convergent forms. The phylogenetic position of the Loxonematoidea is similarly debatable: features of the more recent families suggest relationships with the Caenogastropoda, but the simple protoconch of the earlier 'true' loxonematoids may indicate a more basal position outside the caenogastropod-heterobranch-neritimorph clade (Frýda & Blodgett 2004).

The Loxonematidae are mostly relatively large gastropods known from the Middle Ordovician to Lower Carboniferous, with a median sinus in the labrum and mostly collabral ornamentation. The Palaeozygopleuridae are smaller gastropods from the Devonian and Lower Carboniferous, with the labral sinus shallow or absent (Knight et al. 1960).

Characteristics (from Frýda & Blodgett 2004, for Loxonematidae and Palaeozygopleuridae only): Slender, high-spired shells. Large protoconch with less than one whorl, lacking a true larval shell.

Clava

Clava aspera, from Compton (1944).

Belongs within: Cerithioidea.

Clava is another genus of small high-spired marine gastropods similar to Cerithium. (I think that this genus may be no longer considered valid; some of my references are a little dated.)

Characteristics (from Compton 1944): Parietal callus free, not attached to body whorl; evenly distributed, nearly cancellate ornamentation; ridgelike disc present on basal whorl; shell angular, penultimate whorl not decidedly enlarged; anterior canal well-developed.

Cerithium

Cerithium nodulosum, from Houbrick (1992).

Belongs within: Cerithioidea.

Cerithium is a genus of high-spired marine gastropods found in tropical and subtropical waters with the highest diversity in the Indo-Pacific. This genus has been conflated in the past with a number of superficially similar taxa, some belonging to quite different families. Cerithium species are algal-detritus feeders, mostly grazing on diatoms and other microalgae.

Characteristics (from Houbrick 1992): Shell many whorled, turreted, ranging from ovate to fusiform elongate, and sculptured with variously placed varices, axial ribs, and spiral cords ornamented with beads and nodes. Aperture ovate with crenulated outer lip,distinct anal canal and moderately extended, constricted, slightly reflected anterior siphonal canal. Operculum corneous, ovate, and paucispiral with eccentric nucleus. Mantle edge bilobed with small papillae arising from inner lobe. Propodial mucus gland present; in females, ciliated egg-laying groove on right side of foot. Osphradium elongate, narrow, bipectinate, comprised of tiny leaflets. Hypobranchial gland well developed. Radula taenioglossate. Salivary glands pass through nerve ring; esophageal gland present. Stomach large, with style sac, crystalline style and gastric shield. Nervous system epiathroid. Pallial gonoducts open; pallial oviduct with large spermatophore bursa and small posterior seminal receptacle in medial lamina; anterior seminal receptacle sometimes in lateral lamina. Sperm dimorphic, transferred by spermatophores. Egg mass consisting of gelatinous strings.
