CC6E8784FFF2FFB0FF54FBAAFC9ED20C.taxon	discussion	Remarks This genus included two sets of species: one presents a hexagonal apex with similar intercostal spaces and equidistant primary ribs usually reaching the oral aperture, resulting in a hexagonal section also at the aperture. In the other group, the dorsal and two laterodorsal ribs are more prominent while ventral ones are less noticeable. This configuration results in intercostals spaces with different size and a circular or subcircular oral section in adults specimens. Further studies are needed to test the characters consistency for each of the above mentioned set of species and the need to split them in two different genera.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFF3FFB2FF54FEB8F955D439.taxon	discussion	Remarks Paradentalium gouldii shares the outline with P. americanum (Chenu, 1843), with hexagonal section at apex and aperture, differing in having intercostal spaces longitudinally sculptured by very fine striae. One of the paralectotypes, MCZ 7707, is much eroded making it impossible to verify the longitudinal sculpture (Fig. 6). Pilsbry and Sharp (1987) suggest the synonymy between P. gouldii and P. americanum, but at this moment we prefer to treat them as valid species and our specimens are identified as Paradentalium gouldii mainly because of the presence of longitudinal sculpture between ribs.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFF4FFB7FF54FAA0FCDCD339.taxon	discussion	Remarks Watson (1879) described this species from material collected in the West Indies, Northern Brazil and from Setubal, off Portugal (Challenger sta 2, 38 ° 10.8 ’ N, 09 ° 14 ’ W). This last lot, BMNH 1887.2.9.24 ­ 25, consists of two specimens here considered as belonging to a different species. So, with the express taxonomic purpose of taxon stabilization (ICZN, Art. 74.7.3), we are selecting the larger specimens gathered off Pernambuco (BMNH 1887.2.9.30) as the lectotype (Fig. 23). We choose this specimen because it agrees perfectly with the concept of Antalis circumcincta and was the specimen figured at Watson (1886: pl. 1, fig. 7). Watson (1886: 7) subsequently recorded two specimens from off Bermuda, which are in the type collection, BMNH 1887.2.9.27 ­ 28, but Steiner and Kabat (2004) stated that these specimens are not types. Antalis obscurum (Dall, 1889), reported from the Lesser Antilles to Brazil (Steiner & Kabat 2004), seems to be a junior synonym of A. circumcincta, but the assessment of this species is beyond the scope of this contribution. The high number of ribs and polygonal apical section distinguishes A. circumcincta from the other species of the genus.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFE9FFADFF54F960FA8FD499.taxon	discussion	Remarks Turner (1955: 319) recognized the specimen from MCZ 7752 as the only one that agrees with the original description and illustration of Graptacme perlonga, wrongly using the term holotype to designate this specimen since Dall (1881) did not designate a holotype. Steiner & Kabat (2004) considered Turner’s " holotype " as the lectotype. Turner’s use of the term " holotype " falls within the conditions of ICZN Art. 74.5 to accept a " holotype " indication as a lectotype designation, because Turner (1955) knewn that Dall (1881) did not select any specimen as holotype. Turner’s lectotype designation is valid. Henderson (1920) cited specimens from Rio de Janeiro and off Rio de la Plata, Uruguay, the latter also indicated by Scarabino (1973). Penna­Neme (1974) recorded this species from the coast of Maranhão, at Ilha Grande­Rio de Janeiro and south of Brazil. Cabral and Mello (1994: 38, fig. 9) reported it for the states of Ceará and Alagoas. We do not consider those records to belong to G. perlonga, because all were based on specimens gathered in depths ranging from the shore to 170 m, while this species has a bathyalabyssal distribution being collected from depths greater than 200 m (Steiner & Kabat 2004). Additionally, we examined the material from Scarabino (1973) and Penna­Neme (1974) studies, which prooved to be misidentified specimens. Recently, Scarabino (2003) stated that G. perlonga records from off Argentina were obviously due to a mistake in the station number, as suspected previously by Henderson (1920), who added a question mark to this record. Thus, we conclude that the southernmost geographical distribution limit for this species is off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFE2FFA1FF54FBB0FA00D659.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species was reported from Indonesia (Boissevain 1906) and Australia (Lamprell & Healy 1998). Scarabino (1995) consider specimens identified by Boissevain (1906) as D. stenoschizum to represent F. nipponica (Yokoyama, 1922). Since the F. stenoschiza records from Australia in Lamprell and Healy (1998) were based on Boissevain (1906), their records must also be attributed to F. nipponica; the distribution of F. stenoschiza is, therefore, restrited to the western Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea. Fustiaria stenoschiza differs from F. liodon by the long and regular slit (Figs. 54 and 56) and more rapidly tapering.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFDBFF9AFF54FD90FA85D711.taxon	discussion	Remarks Henderson (1920) described the apex as being composed by some shallow slits and broad, ill­defined lobes. Our material, possess an apex with four slits and four lobes when well preserved (Fig. 69). Díaz and Puyana (1994) also observed this feature and placed this species in the genus Polyschides. Steiner and Kabat (2004) stated that the position of the maximum diameter in the middle of the shell suggests it to belong to Cadulus. However, this feature could be variable, at least theorically, during ontogeny (shell secretion occurs at the aperture and is expected that in some stage of the development the position of maximum diameter could be more close to or at the aperture). Accordingly, we prefer to maintain the original combination but the validity of this allocation in the genus Cadulus should be assessed in the future.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFDEFF9EFF54FEB8FA59D7A1.taxon	discussion	Remarks Henderson (1920: 141) already mentioned that Gadila acus and G. dominguensis were closely allied species but he retained both species until a comparison with the types could be done. As show in Figures 74 and 77, the types of G. dominguensis and G. acus, respectively, are not sufficiently different to justify these two species. The shared characteristics include general elongate slender form, equator situated immediately posterior of the anterior aperture and presence of circular wrinkles at the apical region. Gadila acus is considered here a junior synonym of G. dominguensis. Steiner and Kabat (2004) noted a questionable record of G. dominguensis from the West African coast by Nicklès (1979: 64, fig. 21).

Gadila pandionis resembles most closely G. watsoni (Dall, 1881) sharing apical features, two semicircular notches, one dorsal and one ventral, leaving two lateral pointed lobes (Fig. 80). The distinction between these two species is questionable; the lectotype of G. w a t s o n i is a broken shell and the paralectotype is a juvenile that makes any comparisons difficult.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFDDFF90FF54FBB0FB64D6D1.taxon	discussion	Remarks Gadila simpsoni is smaller and less arched than G. pandionis and the aperture of G. simpsoni is laterally compressed. Steiner and Kabat (2004) placed this species in Cadulus because of the position of the region of the maximum diameter of the shell which, according to these authors, is located in the middle of the shell. However, in his original description, Henderson (1920: 127) stated that " its equator at about the anterior two­fifths or almost median " and the observation of our material agree with Henderson’s opinion. So, we include this species in the genus Gadila.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFD2FF91FF54FBB0FA95D6D1.taxon	discussion	Remarks Steiner and Kabat (2001, 2004) placed this species at the genus Polyschides because of the position of the maximum diameter at anterior third of the shell, occurrence of apical lateral projections that, according to these authors, indicate four apical lobes, and the strongly oblique anterior aperture. Acccording to Steiner and Kabat (2004) this species could also be placed in Gadila. The specimen studied is well preserved and the carefull examination of the apical features shows only two lateral flat lobes and none ventral or dorsal projections. In this manner, we concluded that the studied species fits better to the concept of genus Gadila than Polyschides.	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.

CC6E8784FFD3FF92FF54FB22FBFDD439.taxon	discussion	Remarks According to Scarabino (1995), the genus Compressidens shows confusing characters that do not allow placement in the present classifications, specially the dorsoventrally compressed shell. This genus comprises about nine species (Steiner & Kabat 2004) and it was firstly included within Gadilida (Watson 1879; Pilsbry & Sharp 1897; Emerson 1962) and also among Dentaliida (Henderson 1920; Palmer 1974). Subsequent radular study (Kraeuter 1972) confirmed it to belong to Gadilida. At the family level, the controversy still remains with systematic arrangements including this genus in Siphonodentaliidae (Emerson 1962; Kraeuter 1972), Pulsellidae (Scarabino 1994) and more recently as incertae sedis (Scarabino 1995; Steiner & Kabat 2001).	en	Caetano, Carlos Henrique Soares, Scarabino, Victor, Absalão, Ricardo Silva (2006): Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the Brazilian continental shelf and upper slope (13 º to 21 ºS) with descriptions of two new species of the genus Cadulus Philippi, 1844.
