Abstract
The Babyloniidae is a family of marine snails consisting of 21 species and two genera. Current taxonomic debates on the Babyloniidae are mainly due to their extremely similar shell morphologies, which have led to incorrect locality records and mislabelling in legal or illegal international trade. We have therefore constructed a phylogeny of the Babyloniidae with high species coverage (57% of the family) by using multi‐locus genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI], 16S, and H3) with four species delimitation methods (Best Close Match [BCM], Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning [ASAP], Bayesian Poisson Tree Process [bPTP] and Multi‐rate Poisson Tree Processes [mPTP]). Based on our results, 13 clades/operational taxonomic unit were observed, which confirms pre‐existing species status for 10 Babylonia and one Zemiropsis taxa: B. areolata (Link, 1807), B. borneensis (Sowerby II, 1864), B. feicheni Shikama, 1973, B. formosae (Sowerby II, 1866), B. japonica (Reeve, 1842), B. lutosa (Lamarck, 1816), B. pieroangelai Cossignani, 2008, B. spirata (Linnaeus, 1758), B. valentiana (Swainson, 1822), B. zeylanica (Bruguière, 1789) and Z. papillaris (Sowerby I, 1825). A monophyletic group with four species collected from Indonesia which includes B. spirata f. balinensis Cossignani, 2009, B. spirata f. semipicta (Sowerby II, 1866) and B. angusta Altena & Gittenberger, 1981, implying they should belong to a single species, B. semipicta. Additionally, we suggest B. formosae habei Altena & Gittenberger, 1981 should be escalated as B. habei, and not as a subspecies.
海蜗牛科(Babyloniidae)是由 21 个种和 2 个属组成的海蜗牛家族。目前关于巴布亚蜗牛科分类的争论主要是由于它们的外壳形态极其相似,这导致了在合法或非法国际贸易中错误的地点记录和错误的标签。因此,我们利用多焦点基因(细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚单位 I [COI]、16S 和 H3)和四种物种划分方法(最佳近似匹配 [BCM]、通过自动分区组装物种 [ASAP]、贝叶斯泊松树过程 [bPTP] 和多速率泊松树过程 [mPTP])构建了一个物种覆盖率很高(占该科的 57%)的巴布亚龙科系统发生。根据我们的研究结果,观察到 13 个支系/操作分类单元,确认了 10 个巴比伦亚种和 1 个 Zemiropsis 分类群原有的物种地位:B. areolata (Link, 1807), B. borneensis (Sowerby II, 1864), B. feicheni Shikama, 1973, B. formosae (Sowerby II, 1866), B. japonica (Reeve, 1842), B. lutosa (Lamarck, 1816), B. pieroangelai Cossignani.pieroangelai Cossignani, 2008, B. spirata (Linnaeus, 1758), B. valentiana (Swainson, 1822), B. zeylanica (Bruguière, 1789) 和 Z. papillaris (Sowerby I, 1825)。在印度尼西亚采集到的四个物种组成了一个单系群,其中包括 B. spirata f. balinensis Cossignani, 2009, B. spirata f. semipicta (Sowerby II, 1866) 和 B. angusta Altena & Gittenberger, 1981,这意味着它们应属于一个物种,即 B. semipicta。此外,我们建议将 B. formosae habei Altena & Gittenberger, 1981 升格为 B. habei,而不是亚种。
期刊介绍:
Zoologica Scripta publishes papers in animal systematics and phylogeny, i.e. studies of evolutionary relationships among taxa, and the origin and evolution of biological diversity. Papers can also deal with ecological interactions and geographic distributions (phylogeography) if the results are placed in a wider phylogenetic/systematic/evolutionary context. Zoologica Scripta encourages papers on the development of methods for all aspects of phylogenetic inference and biological nomenclature/classification.
Articles published in Zoologica Scripta must be original and present either theoretical or empirical studies of interest to a broad audience in systematics and phylogeny. Purely taxonomic papers, like species descriptions without being placed in a wider systematic/phylogenetic context, will not be considered.
