Favartia massemini Merle & Garrigues 2008, n. sp.
No full textFavartia massemini n. sp. (Fig. 7) TYPE MATERIAL. — N French Guiana. Continental shelf, holotype (Fig. 7), length: 18.5 mm, diameter: 12 mm, (MNHN). TYPE LOCALITY. — N French Guiana. ETYMOLOGY. — Named in honour of David Massemin. DESCRIPTION Protoconch unknown. Biconic shell high of 5 subcarinate whorls (height: 18.5 mm; width: 12 mm). Last whorl (5th whorl) 72% of total length of the teleoconch. Spiral sculpture with thick primary cords. First and 2nd whorls: presence of primary cords P1 and P2. Third whorl: appearance of primary cord IP. Fourth whorl: appearance of secondary cord s2. Fifth whorl: developed IP (sutural ramp), P1 to P5 (convex part of the whorl) atrophied P6, ADP and MP (siphonal canal); secondary cords: s2 more developed than s3 and poorly developed s6. Axial sculpture of imbricate varices. Primary cords spines IP, P1 to P5, ADP and MP slightly developed. Nine varices on 2nd and 3rd whorls, 8 on 4th and 5th whorls. Microsculpture with erected growth laminae, appearing on 4th whorl. Suborbicular aperture 25% of the diameter. Outer lip orthocline, thickened by 8 to 10 growth laminae. Six simple, internal denticles (ID, D1 to D5) which are poorly expressed and slightly extended in the internal part of apertural lip. D6 missing. Shoulder sinus closed by the growth laminae. Parietal lip poorly erected. Columellar lip erected and drawing an inductura. Siphonal canal of 54% of aperture length. Pseudombilicus large.Shell rosy with brown varices. Animal and radula unknown. INTERSPECIFIC COMPARISONS Favartia massemini n. sp. may be compared to other close species as F. cellusosa (Conrad, 1846) (Florida, North Caribbean), F.nucea (Mörch, 1850) (Florida, South Caribbean), F. coltrorum Houart, 2005 (Brazil, Guadeloupe), F. lindae Petuch, 1987 (Florida) and F. pacei Petuch, 1988 (Florida) (Rios 1985; Petuch 1987; Vokes 1994; Houart 2005). Favartia massemini n. sp. differs from these species in having a shell with more spiny varices, by a more marked shoulder and by a longer siphonal canal. Favartia cellulosa, F. nucea and F. lindae have a more developed s2 (almost of the same thickness as the primary cords). Their growth laminae are more numerous, particularly in the intervarical spaces. The teleoconch whorls of F.pacei are slightly more carinate than in the other species, because of a spiny P1. It differs from F. massemini n. sp. by the lack of other developed cord spines. Favartia coltrorum lacks secondary cords. Favartia massemini n. sp. may be also compared to Murexiella glypa (Smith, 1938) from Brazil (= F. iemanja Petuch, 1979) and from the Plio-Pleistocene of Florida (Vokes 1994). The spire of M. glypta is, however, longer and its cords are always more marked in the intervarical spaces. These last observations show that it is difficult to practically distinguish the genera Favartia and Murexiella Clench & Pérez Farfante, 1945 (type species Murex hidalgoi Crosse, 1869 by original designation), which are very closely related (Merle 2002).Published as part of Merle, Didier & Garrigues, Bernard, 2008, New muricid species (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from French Guiana, pp. 517-526 in Zoosystema 30 (2) on page 524, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.539079

34. Robert F. Kennedy and Merle McCurdy
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/mccurdy_gallery/8/thumbnail.jpgMerle McCurdy shaking hands with Robert F. Kennedy. Within eight months of his swearing-in ceremony, a witness in the House Un-American Activities Committee identified Merle’s brother, Foster, as a Communist. Working as a deputy in the Cuyahoga County Clerk’s Office, Foster denied any involvement in the Communist Party. He gave no further comment, as advised by Merle serving as a U.S. District Attorney. The following day, Foster acknowledged some of his earlier activities in the late 1940s, but denied ever joining the Communist Party, stating that his refusal to join contributed to his divorce of his first wife, Mamie, ten years beforehand. Robert F. Kennedy issued a statement indicating that it looked fully into the McCurdy Family background, were familiar with the allegations made against Foster, and that the administration had “no question about [Merle’s] loyalty, integrity and ability.” The controversy obviously caused a strain in the two brother’s relationship, Merle is quoted as saying: “Whatever my brother did occurred years ago. At that time I was not aware of any of his activities except what I read in the newspapers. We had long since gone our separate ways” (The Plain Dealer, 1962, p. 19).

No full textLindapterys domlamyi n. sp. (Figs 10A, B; 12C) TYPE MATERIAL. — Guadeloupe, holotype (MNHN IM-2000-27732). TYPE LOCALITY. — East of Fajou Island, Guadeloupe, in 80 and 90 m deep. ETYMOLOGY. — Named in honour of Dominique Lamy. DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE Protoconch unknown.Teleoconch oval, H 7.9 mm, up to 3.8 mm in width. Spire high of four rounded whorls. Last whorl of 76% of the total length of teleoconch. Apical angle of 53°. Spiral sculpture consisting in equally primary and secondary cords. On last whorl: convex part of the whorl, P1 to P5; siphonal canal, P6, ADP, MP and ABP. Axial sculpture: first whorls, eight to nine protovarices; from third to fourth whorl, appearance of two lateral varices giving to the shell a bivaricate shape, Between two varices five intervarical ribs. Aperture oval, with a adherent columellar lip. Anal canal open, tubular and formed by P1 cord spine. Outer lip flaring, slightly erected with denticles from D1 to D4. Siphonal canal open, of 26% of the total length of teleoconch and dorsally recurved. Shell white. Operculum and radula unknown. COMPARISON Lindapterys domlamyi n. sp. is compared with L. sanderi Petuch, 1987 (Fig. 10C, F, G), the single living species occurring in the western Atlantic area and to the type species of the genus, L. vokesae Petuch, 1987 (Fig. 10D, E). Lindapterys sanderi differs by the number of its protovarices on the first whorls (between 10 and 20), by a higher spire, by an outer lip widely flaring, by five denticles D1 to D5 (instead four in L. domlamyi n. sp.) and by a larger adult size (17.2 mm instead 7.9 mm in L. domlamyi n. sp.). Lindapterys vokesae has twelve to thirteen protovarices on the first whorls and the lateral varices appear earlier since the second whorl.Published as part of Garrigues, Bernard & Merle, Didier, 2014, Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles, pp. 841-864 in Zoosystema 36 (4) on page 862, DOI: 10.5252/z2014n4a7, http://zenodo.org/record/515967

BG), Gosier Island, 16’11.8’N, 61’29.66’W, at 6 m deep. TYPE LOCALITY. — Gosier Island, Guadeloupe, 16’11.8’N, 61’29.66’W (stn GB01), at 6 m deep. ETYMOLOGY. — Named in honour of Jean-Pierre Pointier. DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE Protoconch 1, 75 whorls. Teleoconch biconic, H 7.6 mm, D 3.9 mm. Spire high of 4.5 whorls. Last whorl rounded, 73% of the total length of teleoconch. Apical angle of 49°. Spiral sculpture consisting in marked primary cords. First whorl: appearance of a shoulder spine and later formation of P1 and P2. Last whorl: sutural ramp, appearance of IP; convex part of the whorl, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 well developed; siphonal canal, P6 placed on the top, ADP and MP present. Axial sculpture with lamellose varices since the first whorl. Aperture ovate. Columellar lip smooth, slightly erected anteriorly. Outer lip erected and ondulated. Internal denticles ID, D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5. Siphonal canal open and dorsally recurved, of 23% of the total length of teleoconch. Squamous microsculpture with erected growing lamellae. Shell creamy with brown bands in P3 and between P5 and P6. Aperture creamy. Operculum and radula unknown. COMPARISON Pygmaepterys pointieri n. sp. differs from P.germainae Vokes & D’Attilio, 1980 (Fig. 5 J-M) by a higher spire, a narrower shape, the lack of columellar folds and a brown notch near the suture. The holotype of P. aliceae (Petuch, 1987) is an eroded shell with a somewhat eroded ornamentation (Fig. 5I). However, P. pointieri n. sp. is distinguishing from P.aliceae by a more shouldered shell with a P1 spine which is adapically turned. The brown bands of P. pointieri n. sp. are lacking in P. aliceae which is entirely white.Published as part of Garrigues, Bernard & Merle, Didier, 2014, Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles, pp. 841-864 in Zoosystema 36 (4) on pages 850-852, DOI: 10.5252/z2014n4a7, http://zenodo.org/record/515967
