- Title
Studies on the primitive opisthobranch genera Bullina Férussac and Micromelo Pilsbry*.
- Authors
RUDMAN, W. B.
- Abstract
A study of the mantle cavity, reproductive system, alimentary canal and nervous system of Bullina roseana Rudman, 1971 and Bullina lineata Gray, 1825 shows that this genus should be placed in a new family distinguishable from the Acteonidae by the presence of an unpaired oral gland, oral tube, oesophageal crop and central radular tooth. They differ from the Hydatinidae, in the possession of a solid shell, operculum and open nervous system. The anatomy of Micromelo guamensis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1825) shows it to be a typical member of the Hydatinidae.
