Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent advances in sampling capabilities have enabled some of the first large-scale bathyal and abyssal surveys in Australian waters, allowing new insights into the deep-sea invertebrate fauna of the region. Here we describe Abditoconus investigatoris n. sp., the first xylophagaid described from Australia in 60 years. Abitoconus investigatoris is characterised by a siphon with distinct proximal and distal portions, with a prominent wrinkled ventral band on the proximal portion. This species was also observed with epizoic ciliates (fam. Vorticellidae), the first known association of ciliates and xylophagaids.
期刊介绍：
Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology.
While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered.
The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
