为了摸清中国沿海分布的刍秣螺亚科(Ocenebrinae)的物种数量,以及分布状况和生活习性,完成刍秣螺亚科的系统分类研究。采用传统的形态分类学方法,对中国科学院海洋研究所历年来在中国沿海采集的刍秣螺亚科标本进行了整理分类,共鉴定出刍秣螺亚科4属,9种,其中1种在中国沿海为首次报道。文中对刍秣螺亚科动物的形态特征、习性及地理分布等进行了较详细的描述。
This paper deals with species of the Ocenebrinae (Gastropoda. Muricidae) collected from China coast waters, which occur the Bohai, Yellow Sea and East China Sea, and live in the low-tidal level or in shallow water or deeper, living on rocks or sandy gravel bottom. Subfamily Ocenebrinae was studied on population quantity, distribution and ecological habitat using traditional morphological taxonomic methods based on the mollusca collections of Institute of Oceanology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Of the 9 identified species belonging to 4 genera, 1 species was recorded for the first time in China (with asterisk ). The species were as follows:Ocenebrinae Cossmann, 1903 1. Ocenebra fimbriatula (A. Adams, 1863) 2. Ocenebra inornata (Recluz, 1851) 3. Ocenebra lumaria (Yokoyama, 1926) 4. Ocenebra acanthophora (A. Adams, 1863) 5. Ceratostorna rorifluum(A. Adams & Reeve, 1850) 6. Ceratostoma burnetti (A. Adams&Reeve, 1849) 7. Ocinebrellus falcatus (Sowerby, 1834) 8. Pteropurpura plorator (A. Adams & Reeve, 1849) 9. Pteropurpura stirnpsoni (A. Adams, 1863)
