Although none of these clades correspond to currently accepted taxonomic groups, the latter two clades are corroborated in the most recent multilocus molecular phylogeny. A terminal clade groups the peristerniine genera Peristernia and Fusolatirus, fasciolariines and the remaining peristerniines. This analysis reveals a monophyletic Fasciolariidae, with the genera Dolicholatirus and Teralatirus representing the most basal clade in the family, followed by three nodes that correspond to a fusinine grade, which includes the genus Pseudolatirus (Peristerniinae). This work is the first morphological approach to the phylogeny of fasciolariids, using a parsimony analysis in TnT of 53 taxa based on 100 characters. The latest molecular phylogenetic study conflicts with the current circumscription of many genera, and even more so, with the three currently recognized subfamilies. Tulip shells, horse-conchs, spindles, etc., have been grouped into heterogeneous combinations of unrelated species, while several generic names have been used to group conchologically similar species. The reconstructed chronogram dated the origin of Tritia in the Oligocene and main diversification events during the Miocene to Pleistocene, correlated with drastic shifts in local paleoecosystems caused by cooling events, eustatic sea level changes and the Messinian Salinity Crisis that favoured temperate taxa.įasciolariids are buccinoid neogastropods and key predators in the tropics and subtropics, comprising more than 500 species in the subfamilies Fasciolariinae, Fusininae and Peristerniinae. The ancestral character state reconstruction of protoconch inferred that the ancestor of Tritia had planktotrophic larvae and that a transition to lecithotrophy occurred independently at least three times within Nassariinae. For Tritia incrassata, the analysed specimens from Norway and from the Spanish Mediterranean coasts showed notable genetic divergence, which may indicate the existence of cryptic species. The latter three clades corresponded to different shell features (I, shell mostly with marked sculpture II, shell with strong nodules and small size and III, smooth shell). Within Tritia, the North‐west Atlantic species Tritia obsoleta was placed as the sister group of three mostly East Atlantic/Mediterranean clades (I‐III), prompting the reinstatement of the genus Ilyanassa. The reconstructed phylogeny indicates that all analysed Tritia species formed a natural group except Tritia vaucheri, which was sister to an early diverging clade within subfamily Nassariinae that includes species of genus Reticunassa sister to Nassarius jacksonianus and Nassarius sp. All mitogenomes of Tritia shared the same gene order, which is identical to the consensus reported for caenogastropods. Here, the near‐complete mitogenomes of 20 species representing more than half of the diversity of Tritia were sequenced. In order to understand how the diversity of species, shell morphologies and ecological traits evolved within this genus, a robust phylogenetic framework is needed, yet still unavailable due to high levels of homoplasy in shell morphology, the main trait used for their taxonomic classification. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.The mud snails endemic to the East Atlantic/Mediterranean region (genus Tritia subfamily Nassariinae) account for the second highest diversity within the family Nassariidae (Gastropoda: Buccinoidea). In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
