Bivalve collection of C.E. Lischke in the Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg: Mytilidae, Ungulinidae and Tellinidae

Lutaenko, Konstantin A.,Chaban, Elena M. The Malacological Society of Korea 2016 The Korean Journal of Malacology Vol.32 No.2

In addition to the Arcidae (Lutaenko, 2015), a collection of Mytilidae, Ungulinidae and Tellinidae from Japan, identified by the German malacologist C.E. Lischke, was found and studied at the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg. This collection is very important for regional malacological studies in Japan, Korea and China as it contains type material and vouchers. Syntypes of Mytilus atratus Lischke, 1871 (= Xenostrobus atrata (Lischke, 1871)) and vouchers of Tellina diaphana Deshayes, 1855 (= Serratina diaphana (Deshayes, 1855)), Tellina nitidula Dunker, 1860 (= Nitidotellina hokkaidoensis (Habe, 1961)), and "Diplodonta orbella Gould, 1851" (= Diplodonta gouldi Yokoyama, 1920)) are figured with taxonomic and nomenclatural comments. No other voucher or type specimens used in the compilation of the Japanische Meeres-Conchylien were located in the entire bivalve collection.

A New Species of Arca L., 1758 (Bivalvia: Arcidae) from New Caledonia, with Comments on the Genus

Konstantin A. Lutaenko,Philippe Maestrati 한국패류학회 2007 The Korean Journal of Malacology Vol.23 No.2

A new species, Arca koumaci Lutaenko et Maestrati n. sp. (Bivalvia: Arcidae), is described from New Caledonia. The species is characterized by the small size, the convex shell with a strong posterior umbonal ridge covered by spikes, the widely curved ventral margin, and presence of cancellate sculpture and convergent marginal teeth. Presence of spikes on the posterior ridge is a unique morphological feature recorded for the first time in the genus. It is proposed that the only subgenus, namely Pliocene A. (Arcoptera) Heilprin, 1887, apart from nominative, can be recognized in the genus. Three morphological types are distinguished within the genus based on shell shape and sculpture. Bathymetric analysis shows that representatives of Arca inhabit water depths down to 175 m, and more than half of Recent species were found below 50 m. Types of A. bouvieri P. Fischer, 1874, Arca boucardi Jousseaume, 1894, Arca avellana Lamarck, 1819, and Arca retusa Lamarck, 1819 are illustrated.

Observations on seaweed attachment to bivalve shells in Peter the Great Bay (East Sea) and their taphonomic implications

Lutaenko, Konstantin A.,Levenets, Irina R. The Malacological Society of Korea 2015 The Korean Journal of Malacology Vol.31 No.3

Observations in beach, intertidal and upper subtidal environments in Peter the Great Bay (north-western East Sea) have shown that attached algae were found on empty shells of 13 species of epifaunal and infaunal bivalve mollusks. Thirteen algae species were identified on empty dislodged shells but more than 50 species are known to be epibiotic on living bivalves. The dislodgement of shells with attached algae takes place in semi-enclosed, low-energy areas, as well as those which are open and affected by strong wave action, indicating the large scale of this phenomenon. The significance of seaweed transportation of living mollusks and their empty shells in the coastal zone, involving both taphonomic and ecological processes, is stressed. Algae appear to be a taphonomic agent and play a similar role as compared to birds or hermit crabs, but they act passively and contribute to environmental mixing in death assemblages in coastal environments.

Biogeography of marine bivalve mollusks of eastern Korea

Lutaenko, Konstantin A.,Noseworthy, Ronald G. The Malacological Society of Korea 2014 The Korean Journal of Malacology Vol.30 No.3

The biogeography and diversity patterns of the marine bivalve molluscan fauna of the East Sea coast of South Korea are analyzed. The total species richness of the continental Korean bivalve fauna, excluding insular regions (Dok-do and Ullung-do), is 304, and from north to south the species richness of bivalves increases showing a clear gradient: Gangwon, 143 species ${\rightarrow}$ Gyeongbuk, 131 ${\rightarrow}$ Gyeongnam, 183. A zonal-geographical analysis of the entire fauna shows that the great majority are warm-water mollusks, constituting 77% (subtropical, 37%, tropical-subtropical, 30%, subtropical-boreal, 10%), The number of boreal (low-boreal, widely distributed boreal and circumboreal) species is lower, 19%, whereas boreal-arctic mollusks have only 4%. This demonstrates that the bivalve molluscan fauna of the eastern coast of Korea is subtropical, and has more affinities to the fauna of the East China Sea than to the northern East Sea. Separate analysis by provinces shows the increasing role of warm-water mollusks from north to south. While tropical-subtropical and subtropical species constitute 47% (68 species) in Gangwon, their dominance increases to 71% (93 species) in Gyeongbuk, and to 80% (148 species) in Gyeongnam. The Gyeongnam bivalve fauna is the most diverse in species composition and has the largest number of "endemics" (species known only from this province), 46%. The Gangwon fauna also contains many "endemics", up to 40%, while Gyeongbuk is an intermediate zone with low "endemicity", only at one-fifth of the regional fauna, and has the most species in common among the three provinces.

Bivalve Mollusks in Yeongil Bay, Korea. 2. Faunal Analysis

Lutaenko Konstantin A.,Je, Jong-Geel,Shin, Sang-Ho The Malacological Society of Korea 2006 The Korean Journal of Malacology Vol.22 No.1

A list of species of bivalve mollusks, their local distributions and relative abundance in Yeongil Bay were analysed. Species richness ranging from 1 to 37 species was low (less than 10) in some stations at the entrance and in the central part of the bay. Fifteen species (Acila insignis, Nucula tenuis, Yoldia notabilis, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Arca boucardi, Axinopsida subquadrata, Felaniella usta, Mactra chinensis, Raeta pulchella, Nitidotellina hokkaidoensis, Theora fragilis, Alvenius ojianus, Callithaca adamsi, Ruditapes philippinarum and Laternula anatina) were most frequently encountered, and seven of them were most abundant numerically (per sample): Th. fragilis in the inner bay, A. insignis, N. tenuis, and A. ojianus in the outer bay, and C. adamsi, A. subquadrata, R. puichella in both parts. Local distributions of common species were described and presented in plotted data, and three distribution patterns were recognized. Biogeographical analysis shows that a majority of species (55%) belongs to the subtropical group, tropical-subtropical species (16%) play a relatively significant role, and the percentage of boreal (temperate) and boreal-arctic species is 18% which characterizes the whole fauna as subtropical. Zonal-biogeographical composition and number of species in families in Yeongil Bay are compared with those of some Japanese (Wakasa and Mutsu) and Russian (Peter the Great, Possjet and Amursky) bays of the East Sea. The absence of a number of typical warm-water embaymental mollusks in Yeongil Bay found in the north further East Sea and Japan, and the similar zonal-biogeographical structure of the inner and outer bay faunas are explained by active water exchange due to the openness of the bay, relatively low summer temperatures, and presence of upwelled cold waters.

Bivalve Mollusks in Yeongil Bay, Korea, 1. Introductory Part and Annotated List of Species

Lutaenko Konstantin A.,Je, Jong-Geel,Shin, Sang-Ho Korea Institute of Ocean ScienceTechnology 2003 Ocean and Polar Research Vol.25 No.2

An annotated listing of bivalve mollusks collected at 31 sampling sites in Yeongil Bay (eastern coast of Korea) at a depth of 0-52m is presented here. A total of 98 species belonging to 75 genera and 36 families are enumerated; all species are provided with habitat data (bathymetric distribution and bottom sediments character), given separately far living and dead (empty shells) specimens, and some with taxonomic and zoogeographic comments. Fifty-six species are illustrated with photographs. Astarte hakodatensis Yokoyama, 1920 (Astartidae), Nitidotellina pallidula (Lischke 1871) (Tellinidae) and Lyonsia nuculanoformis Scarlato in Volova et Scarlato, 1980 (Lyonsiidae) are found to be new to the Korean fauna, and the genus Salaputium Iredale, 1924 (Crassatellidae) with one species Salapurium Iredale, 1924(Crassatellidae) with one species Salaputium cf. unicum Hayami and Kase, 1993, previously described as being found only from submarine caves in the Ryukyu Islands, is recorded as being found in the East Sea(Sea of Japan) for the first time.
