A new genus and new species of the family Tonicellidae are described. This species inhabits Chilean waters near Provincia Valdivia at depths of 0.5-1.5 m where rough seas and nearshore currents are present. It lives among barnacles and feeds on them. This new genus has some features that are typical for genera of the family Mopaliidae, namely Mopalia and Plaxiphora (Fremblia), but it has no caudal sinus in the tail valve and has two petal-shaped processes between the valves.

Systematic position of the species “Fusus clathratus” Lahusen, 1883 is discussed. It is suggested to be placed in the tribe Eucyclini of the family Trochidae under a new name Gerasimovcyclus lahuseni nom. nov., because the original binomen is a junior homonym of Fusus clathratus Deshayes, 1835, F. clathratus J.C. Sowerby, 1836, and F. clathratus Dujardin, 1837.

Anatomy of anterior part of digestive system in two representatives of the subfamily Raphitominae, Veprecula vepratica and Tritonoturris subrissoides has been studied. V. vepratica possesses full set of foregut organs while the foregut of T. subrissoides is highly reduced -- radula, venom apparatus, proboscis and salivary glands are absent. In both species there is an additional foregut organ, lacking in other studied representatives of Raphitominae but having analogues in representatives of other groups of Conoidea. The foregut morphology of V. vepratica and T. subrissoides, apparently representing new types of foregut organization for Raphitominae is described, and the possible functioning of these organs is discussed in comparison to analogous structures found in other conoideans.

The history of studies on opisthobranch molluscs of the Northern Black Sea are critically reviewed. Data on opisthobranch distribution and ecology are given, some taxonomical problems are discussed. A non-indigenous, warm-water Atlantic tergipedid species Trinchesia perca (Er. Marcus, 1958) (= Cuthona perca) is recorded in the Black Sea for the first time. Morphological and ecological data on the Black Sea specimens of T. perca are provided. Taxonomy and distribution of T. perca are discussed. This paper begins a series of reviews of opisthobranchs of the Northern Black Sea, based on newly collected material and critical revision of previous records.

The nomenclatorial history and the current taxonomic treatment of the species name Limneus ampla Hartmann, 1821 (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Lymnaeidae) have been reviewed. It was established that this name cannot be regarded as a junior synonym of Turbo patulus Da Costa, 1778, as it has been suggested by Kruglov and Starobogatov [1983]. The original description of Turbo patulus contradicts the original drawing of the shell; moreover, the species’s author obviously used this name in a quite wide sense, therefore it might be attached to different Palaearctic species of the (sub)genus Radix Montfort, 1810. Moreover, the species L. ampla does not occur in the Britain waterbodies, therefore it hardly could be described by Da Costa under the name Turbo patulus. To prevent possible troubles with using of these taxonomic names in future, we designate the lectotypes of Turbo patulus (based on its original picture) and Limneus ampla here.

A comparative analysis of shell form in two dreissenid species, Dreissena polymorpha and D. bugensis, from the Rybinsk Reservoir was performed. The adaptations of these mussels to the same conditions have shown to be different. An assumption was made that the presence of a closely-related species in the biocenosis may influence the morphological variability of mussels.

Two specimens of bigfin reef squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana Lesson, 1830 were caught by jigging in the Peter the Great Bay (42°37’N, 132°32’E) in October 2005. Both squids, a male with dorsal mantle length (DML) 273 mm and a female with DML 196 mm, were sexually mature, and female had spermatangia implanted into buccal membrane. It was the first record of sexually mature specimens of S. lessoniana in waters of southern Maritime Province of Russia (Primorye). In September 2006 two specimens of bigfin reef squid were caught by handle net in the Peter the Great Bay (42°47’N, 132°00’E): an immature female with DML 177 mm and a sexually mature female with DML 185 mm. Females were not copulated. The occurrence of tropical-subtropical species S. lessoniana in waters of the Peter the Great Bay, is associated with warming up of surface waters in the northwestern Japan Sea in recent years.

Based on the shell structure, anatomical and radular characters of seven species recorded from the Russian marine fauna and attributed to genera Latisipho and Helicofusus, L. pharcidus is reduced to the junior synonym of L. hypolispus, whereas L. errones, L. jordani, L. georgianus, and H. luridus – to the synonyms of L. hallii.

Radular morphology was studied in detail in 64 species of 7 genera of Turrinae. It is suggested that the so-called “central tooth” is formed by a fusion of 3 teeth: the central one and a pair of lateral. A similar condition was found in some representatives of the subfamilies Cochlespirinae and Crassispirinae (Turridae).

Anomalies in female reproductive system (imposex) were recorded in populations of Buccinum undatum and Nucella lapillus in the White and Barents seas. For Buccinum cyaneum from the Barents Sea the anomalies in reproductive system were not found. 7.7% of females of Buccinum undatum from the White Sea had imposex in 1976, and 6.5% in 2005; in the Barents Sea in 2005 – 29.5%. 46.1% of females of Nucella lapillus from the Barents Sea have imposex. The degree of development of imposex demonstrated that the strait Velikaya Salma of the White Sea is less polluted than the Dal’nezelenetskaya Bay of the Barents Sea. By imposex development and probably by organotin pollution the Barents Sea corresponds to the most clean in this respect areas of the British Islands coast – north-eastern England. Comparison of the data of 1976 and 2005 from the White Sea suggested that certain low percentage of females of Buccinum undatum with imposex may be present in populations inhabiting non-polluted areas.

The composition of opisthobranch mollusk fauna of the Murman coast of the Barents Sea is described using own and literature data reviewed for the first time. Data on distribution and ecology are given, some taxonomical problems are discussed. Three species new for Russian fauna — Polycera quadrilineata, Doto fragilis and Eubranchus tricolor and one species new for the Subarctic — Embletonia pulchra were discovered. The influence of periodical temperature changes on the opisthobranch fauna composition is discussed.

The Antarctic genus Guyvalvoria Vayssière, 1906 is revised. The type species of the genus, G. francaisi Vayssière, 1906 is redescribed based on the study of the type and new material. Two new species of the genus Guyvalvoria, G. gruzovi sp. nov. and G. savinkini sp. nov. are described from the Davis Sea and Subantarctic Kerguelen Island. In addition, a new genus and species, Murmania antiqua gen. et sp.nov. is described from off the Murman coast of the Barents Sea (depth 60-300 m). The latter taxon is characterized by a wide body, numerous branched rows of the digestive gland and moderately developed notal rim with an elevated ridge. Radular teeth of Murmania antiqua possess unusual clusters of lateral denticles. The Antarctic genus Guyvalvoria and Subarctic genus Murmania gen. nov. have some similarities in the external appearance, presence of numerous branches of the digestive gland and a tendency to shift of the anus caudally. Morphological peculiarities of the new taxon suggest a new interpretation of the head composition in the family Tergipedidae: the tergipedid head is formed with involving of the postoral lobes of the anterior foot, as distinct from the “typical head”, characteristic of most aeolidacean nudibranchs. This conclusion is supported by a number of examples from the family Tergipedidae and other families of the aeolidaceans. Both Murmania gen. nov. and Guyvalvoria Vayssière, 1906 are considered as one of most basal within the Tergipedidae; transformations of the digestive gland within the family are discussed. Ревизован антарктический род Guyvalvoria Vayssière, 1906.
