This bibliography lists publications authored by the Italian malacologist and painter Carlo Pollonera (1849-1923). The article endeavours to be comprehensive, and includes all works listed in previous bibliographies of Pollonera. [1] [2] [3] Zoological Record and AnimalBase have also been utilised. Works listed without an internet link have generally not been examined directly. Dates given here follow those printed on the individual issue wrappers (where these were available to inspect or where there were other reliable sources), which sometimes differ from those on the title page of the volume.
The last section considers some works to which Pollonera contributed without being an author; this part of the list is far more likely not to be comprehensive.
Pollonera is given as the authority of some species descriptions in the following two publications by Caziot. Although this implies that he wrote most of the description, according to the current ICZN code the authority should nevertheless be considered as Caziot alone. [7]
Pollonera also sometimes drew the plates for the publications of colleagues. Listed below are two examples, but there are liable to be others.
Pollonera was a successful painter, so his paintings have appeared in various books and articles. The following are celebrations of this aspect of his work that include illustrations. The last of these (Picco, 1998) includes in his listing of 305 of Pollonera's paintings instances of where each work has been reproduced or exhibited.
Count Adelardo Tommaso Salvadori Paleotti was an Italian zoologist and ornithologist.
Duke of Abruzzi's free-tailed bat is a species of bat in the family Molossidae. It is found in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Ghana, South Sudan, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and moist savanna. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Renea moutonii singularis is a subspecies of land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Aciculidae. It was described by Pollonera in 1905. The common name is needle snail.
Deroceras panormitanum is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Agriolimacidae. This article is about Deroceras panormitanumsensu stricto, which occurs predominantly only on Sicily and Malta. Previous to 2011, this name was also applied to what turned out to be a distinct species, Deroceras invadens, a species which has spread around the world and is often a pest. Because this is a recent change in the taxonomy, for information on the species commonly referred to in the literature before 2011 as Deroceras panormitanum, please see Deroceras invadens.
Gymnomma is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Minthoplagia is a genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae.
Myioscotiptera is a genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. There is one described species in Myioscotiptera, M. cincta.
Ostracocoelia is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Polionota is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Oedopa is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Oedopa elegans is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Oedopa of the family Ulidiidae.
Carlo Pollonera was an Italian painter, particularly of landscapes, and also an important malacologist.
Ariunculus is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs. Sometimes it has been considered as a subgenus of Arion, and sometimes the subgenus Ichnusarion has been raised to generic rank.
Giuseppe Nobili (1877-1908) was an Italian zoologist at the University of Turin, specialising in Crustacea, who was born at Omegna in Piedmont in 1877 and died at Omegna in 1908. His father was Dr. Gaudenzio Nobili and his mother, Adele Antonioli Nobili.
Deroceras cecconii is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Agriolimacidae. Although it was long considered a synonym of Deroceras panormitanum, a 2020 article establishes that it is a distinct species widely distributed in the central part of the Italian peninsula. It is also known as an introduction at one site in eastern Germany.
Tetreuaresta audax is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Tetreuaresta of the family Tephritidae.
Ostracocoelia mirabilis is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Ostracocoelia of the family Tephritidae.
Criorhina arctophiloides is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
The name Ambigolimax nyctelius has been used to refer to several species of air-breathing land slugs in the family Limacidae. An article published in 2022 revealed this confusion and furthermore showed that the original description applied to a slug species in a different family. The above names are therefore no longer appropriate and care is need to interpret the meaning of earlier usages.
Jurinodexia is a genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae.
