First record of Fusinus dimassai Buzzurro & Russo, 2007 (Gastropoda, Fasciolariidae) outside of the type locality: a further confirm of strict affinities between Messina strait and Tyrrhenian seamounts
Abstract
A revision of mollusc samples deposited in the Benthic Ecology Laboratory collections of Messina University, provided specimens of Fusinus dimassai Buzzurro & Russo, 2007, from the “Apollo Bank”, south-western Tyrrhenian Sea. The record of such species, known so far from the Strait of Messina only, replicates the recent case of Jujubinus errinae Smriglio, Mariottini & Giacobbe, 2016, underlining the strict ecological affinities linking such peculiar area to the Tyrrhenian seamounts.
