Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!✨

I was this week years old when I found out that, in 2014, a newly discovered snail species was named Aegista diversifamilia after the campaign for marriage equality. What a cutie! 🐌🏳️‍🌈 #QueerInSTEM

Here's the discovery paper: zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php...

You've got me curious.

日本では 𝘼𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖 Albers, 1850 オオベソマイマイ属（ケマイマイ類）の新参異名と見做されてもはや使う人も少ない 𝙏𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖 Jacobi, 1898 オトメマイマイ属（シロマイマイ類）が、数日前にようやく MolluscaBase でも無効名扱いに修正されました。
先月発表した Fukuda & Hirano (2025) での扱いを踏まえています：

従来の学名 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘫𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 Pilsbry, 1901 は、𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢 Jacobi, 1898 が 𝘈𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢 Albers, 1850 の異名とされた結果、𝘈. 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘫𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 (Gude, 1900) ジタロウマイマイの新参二次同名となり、有効な学名がない状態だったのでこのたび解決しました。詳しくは画像2・3枚目の岡山県RDB2020と岩崎他, 2025をごらんください。

That makes sense. Some Aegista species actually have hair-like structures on their shells, so dew collection might be a possible function. I’ve also wondered whether it could help with camouflage or microclimate regulation on the shell surface.

Aegistaが今日だけでに2種も採れて嬉しい。

Aegista、satsumaは難しすぎる

The hound and nymph both spoke to the foundation mythology of the city. The hound represented the river-god Crimisus, who in the poem Alexandra, attributed to the 3rd Century Greek poet Lycophron [ΛΥΚΟΦΡΩΝ], is said to have seduced a fugitive Trojan woman, Aegista [Segesta].
