“…The broad and disjunct geographical distribution of this species hints at the possible presence of multiple species under the name C. hirundinina. This point of view is supported by the molecular results obtained by Camacho- García et al (2014), where two or three lineages have been distinguished. Chelidonura electra Rudman, 1970 (Fig.…”

This first account, dedicated to the shallow water marine heterobranch gastropods of Mozambique is presented with a focus on the clades Acteonoidea and Cephalaspidea. Specimens were obtained as a result of sporadic sampling and two dedicated field campaigns between the years of 2012 and 2015, conducted along the northern and southern coasts of Mozambique. Specimens were collected by hand in the intertidal and subtidal reefs by snorkelling or SCUBA diving down to a depth of 33 m. Thirty-two species were found, of which 22 are new records to Mozambique and five are new for the Western Indian Ocean. This account raises the total number of shallow water Acteonoidea and Cephalaspidea known in Mozambique to 39 species, which represents approximately 50 % of the Indian Ocean diversity and 83 % of the diversity of these molluscs found in the Red Sea. A gap in sampling was identified in the central swamp/mangrove bio-region of Mozambique, and therefore, we suggest that future research efforts concentrate on or at least consider this region.

“…A recent phylogenetic hypothesis of the Aglajidae confirmed the monophyly of the genera Aglaja, Melanochlamys, Nakamigawaia, Navanax, Odontoglaja and Philinopsis but suggested the paraphyly of Chelidonura which branched in three subclades (Camacho-García et al, 2013). The general morphology and anatomy of several species in these three subclades are well known and they all depict similar body plans (Rudman, 1974;Gosliner, 1980;Yonow, 1992Yonow, , 1994Ornelas-Gatdula et al, 2012).…”

Diet preferences of the Aglajidae: a family of cephalaspidean gastropod predators on tropical and temperate shores

Aglajidae is a family of tropical and temperate marine Cephalaspidea gastropod slugs regarded as active predators. In order to better understand their food habits and trophic interactions, we have studied the diet of all genera through the examination of gut contents. Specimens were dissected for the digestive tract and gut contents were removed and identified by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Our results confirmed that carnivory is the only feeding mode in aglajids and showed a sharp preference for vagile prey (94% of food items). We suggest that the interaction between crawling speed, presence of sensorial structures capable of detecting chemical signals from prey, and unique features of the digestive system (e.g. lack of radula, eversion of the buccal bulb, thickening of gizzard walls) led aglajid slugs to occupy a unique trophic niche among cephalaspideans, supporting the hypothesis that dietary specialization played a major role in the adaptive radiation of Cephalaspidea gastropods.
