Description
SHELL. Thick, large, reaching ~ 2.75 cm in length; turriform, narrowly conical in shape, spire height moderate to tall (Fig. 10). Whorls somewhat flattened to moderately convex, suture weakly to moderately impressed. Aperture oval in shape, lip smooth and simple. Spiral sculpture of numerous fine striae, usually indistinct but occasionally weakly to moderately developed, variable in strength and number; sporadic indistinct elevated lirae. Axial sculpture of fine, sinuous growth lines; plications present or absent, confined to upper part of spire; plications regular and even, weakly to moderately developed, occasionally shouldered, orthocline to weakly opisthocyrt, variable in strength and number. Shell black, dark or reddish brown, to tan in color, occasionally with a lighter subsutural band; reddish brown bands present or absent, one to three in number and variable in width. Interior of aperture white, yellowishbrown to dark purple in color; bands when present visible inside aperture.
RADULA. Rachidian narrowly rectangular, wider than tall, basal margin flattened between bluntly rounded median and lateral projections; basal denticles lacking or vestigial (Fig. 11). Upper margin slightly concave with cutting edge bearing central elongate, conical cusp, and two stout, conical denticles on each side. Lateral teeth with prominent triangular cusp flanked by two inner and two to three outer, triangular denticles, and occasionally a membranous outermost denticle. Marginal teeth with broadly rounded cutting edges and long, slender, flattened shafts with membranous flanges along inner and outer edges. Narrow inner flanges along distal third of inner marginal teeth and extending almost to tooth bases of outer marginal teeth; broad outer flanges extending almost to tooth bases. Inner marginal teeth with four and outer marginal teeth with four to five flattened denticles.
Distribution and ecology
In springs, spring runs, and spring-fed creeks to large rivers in the central and eastern Columbia River Gorge drainages in north-central Oregon and south-central Washington, including the Mt. Hood National Forest, Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, and Lower Deschutes River below Pelton Dam (Fig. 7C).
Remarks
The type locality of Goniobasis bairdiana and G. draytonii, both ostensibly from the Columbia River at Fort George [= Astoria] collected by J. Drayton, is likely erroneous (Frest & Johannes 2010), as the species does not extend to the western Columbia Gorge and there is no evidence it ever has. All sequenced specimens and historical lots in museum collections from the terminal part of the Columbia River are conspecific with Juga plicifera (e.g., Fig. 5K–M). Joseph Drayton was the expedition’s artist and travelled up the Columbia Gorge as far as Fort Walla Walla with a Hudson Bay Company boat bringing supplies to the forts up the river (Smith 1937; Frest & Johannes 2010), and thus the types could have come from anywhere along this route, likely from tributaries of the main stem Columbia in the central to eastern part of the gorge. The paralectotype lot of draytonii from “Walla” [sic, Walla Walla] (USNM 119124) received via Lady K. Douglas lies well to the east of the known range but its provenance is unreliable (Carpenter 1857: 162).
Intensive sequencing effort along the Columbia Gorge has revealed only two species (Strong & Whelan 2019), Juga plicifera and a second species that Strong & Whelan (2019) referred to as Juga species 2 and for which we consider Melania bulbosa to be the earliest available name. The type locality of M. bulbosa, vaguely attributed to the “Columbia River”, is not in conflict with this interpretation. Although considered valid in most historical taxonomical treatments (see Frest & Johannes 2010; table 2), the erroneous synonymy of M. newberryi with bulbosa (see J. newberryi, below), resulted in enormous confusion in the application of the name and most usages of bulbosa in the literature in fact refer to J. newberryi (e.g., Tryon 1865: fig. 17, 1866: fig. 217, 1873: fig. 496; Roscoe 1963: pl. 4 figs 5–6; Burch & Tottenham 1980: fig. 452; Burch 1982, 1989: fig. 452; Turgeon et al. 1988, 1998) (see below). This confusion was caused, at least in part, by the paucity of historical material in museum collections, and what little there is in some cases contains mixtures of the two species. For example, the paralectotype lot MCZ 169068 is a mixture of bulbosa and newberryi, as is USNM 5563 which contains Gould’s (1860: pl. 10 fig. 163–163a) figured specimen of bulbosa (Fig. 10E–F). Strong & Frest (2007) removed newberryi from the synonymy of bulbosa, leaving the status of the latter somewhat unresolved as a likely valid species; this was followed by Frest & Johannes (2010) who reported that they had been unable to recollect this form anywhere in the Deschutes River drainage or Columbia Gorge; accordingly, Campbell et al. (2016) reported they could not assess its status. Johnson et al. (2013) considered bulbosa a valid species and it was indicated to be endangered under AFS criteria and critically imperiled under NatureServe’s global conservation status ranks but tallied as extinct (Johnson et al. 2013: table 1) (Campbell et al. 2016; Campbell 2019).
After comprehensive review of the type material in comparison to the morphology of sequenced specimens, we consider the smooth, unbanded lectotypes of Melania bulbosa (Fig. 10A) and Goniobasis draytonii (Fig. 10C) to fall within the range of variation of Juga species 2 sensu Strong & Whelan (2019) in size, proportion, profile, and sculpture. However, populations precisely matching the distinctive morphology of the types of bulbosa have not been recollected thus far (Strong & Frest 2007; Frest & Johannes 2010) and may no longer be extant. Frest & Johannes (2010: 26) noted the similarity of the types of bulbosa and of draytonii but distinguished the latter on the basis of its more elongate spire and more numerous whorls after decollation. Frest & Johannes (1993, 1995a, 2001) considered that their J. (J.) n. sp. 1 (Brown Juga) could match Lea’s types of draytonii, but their composite concept of the species was distributed from the central and western Columbia Gorge in both Oregon and Washington, including the Mt. Hood National Forest, and thus would include individuals of both J. bulbosa and J. plicifera as circumscribed here. The specimen sequenced as J. (J.) draytonii by Campbell et al. (2016) placed in the same clade with J. (J.) plicifera plicifera; however, the morphology of the type material of draytonii is consistent with the interpretation that it is a synonym of J. bulbosa. Even the comparatively smooth forms of J. plicifera in small Columbia River tributaries from Washington (e.g., Fig. 5H–J) can be readily distinguished from J. bulbosa by their larger size at adulthood, more cylindrical shape, higher spire, and more shouldered whorls. In Columbia River tributaries on the Oregon side, plicifera tends to be quite large and heavily sculptured (e.g., Fig. 5N–O, R–S) and that much more distinct from bulbosa. When preserved, the plications in bulbosa are less conspicuous and confined to the upper spire.
Juga bulbosa also includes what has been referred to as J. (Juga) bairdiana by Frest & Johannes (2010) and Campbell et al. (2016). With its plicate early whorls, bairdiana has been viewed as a synonym of plicifera (Pilsbry 1899; Walker 1918) or silicula (Goodrich 1942) or as a subspecies of silicula (Henderson 1935a, 1936b), but sequenced specimens morphologically identical to the type of bairdiana (e.g., Fig. 10H) (Strong & Whelan 2019) confirm it is conspecific with bulbosa as circumscribed here. Near topotypic specimens (Fig. 10I–J) from the Deschutes River of what has been referred to as J. (J.) hemphilli maupinensis (Burch & Tottenham 1980; Burch 1982, 1989; Frest & Johannes 2010; Campbell et al. 2016) are also conspecific with bulbosa.
Distribution
As mentioned, well localized, historical specimens of this species are uncommon in museum collections. In the USNM, apart from the material collected for this study, it is represented by four lots collected between 1971 and 1983. The remaining 13 lots, including the type material, were collected in the early 1900’s or earlier and are all poorly or mislocalized: six lots are localized simply to “ Oregon ”, and one lot said to be from the Willamette River (USNM 321825) is mislocalized. Another lot from Sullivan’s Island in the Columbia River (USNM 468428) was catalogued in late 1936 with no collecting date and occurs slightly farther west than the species’ known range, but is comprised of bleached and worn, deadcollected specimens that may have been transported. Goniobasis bulbosa was erroneously reported by Pilsbry (1899) to occur in the Owyhee River, a Snake River tributary, based on a mislocalized specimen record in the ANSP (ANSP 27561), an error perpetuated until recently (e.g., Burch & Tottenham 1980; Burch 1982, 1989; see Frest & Johannes 1995a). This lot was interpreted as nigrina sensu lato by Frest & Johannes (2010) but is a mixed lot of bulbosa and newberryi. Surveys in the Owyhee River drainage and from archeological sites in this drainage have not produced any Juga (Frest & Johannes 2010: 26). A lot cited by Henderson (1929, 1936b; UCM 15814) from Ahtanum Creek, Union Gap, in Yakima County, Washington, that he attributed to Goniobasis draytonii and G. rubiginosa, appears to be J. bulbosa as circumscribed herein, and which Frest & Johannes (2010: 35) stated to resemble specimens from the Klickitat Plateau, Washington. One lot of 50 specimens in the ANSP database, from Union Gap in the Yakima area, could not be found (P. Callomon, pers. com.). Attempts to recollect Juga in this area were unsuccessful (Frest & Johannes 1995a: 246). Campbell et al. (2016: fig. 1) show a specimen record from the Imnaha River, a Snake River tributary in the northeastern corner of Oregon, coded with the same pattern as the point from Ahtanum Creek. Frest and Johannes (2010: 41) have claimed there are no Juga present in any Snake River tributaries, and the map published in their 2010 work (Frest & Johannes 2010: fig. 1) does not include this point. Campbell et al. (2016) do not provide any information about the basis for this record, and we are unaware of any specimens in museum collections from this drainage.
Common name
The common name for this species is the Bulb Juga (Frest & Johannes 2010; Johnson et al. 2013; Johannes 2015). Synonyms have been referred to as the Three-Band Juga [= Juga (Juga) n. sp. 2], the One-Band Juga, Brown Juga (J. draytonii / J. (J.) n. sp. 1), and the Deschutes or Purple-Lipped Juga (= J. hemphilli maupinensis) (e.g., Frest & Johannes 1993, 1995a, 2001, 2010; Furnish 2005; Duncan 2008; Johannes 2015). Juga bulbosa also includes what has been referred to as the Basalt Juga [= Juga (Oreobasis) n. sp. 2] (Frest & Johannes 1999; Duncan 2008; Johannes 2015), which has been afforded federal protection under the “survey and manage” provisions of the Northwest Forest Plan (USDA and USDI 1994, 2000) and petitioned for federal listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (USFWS 2011). However, the 12-month finding on the petition concluded that the species could not be considered a listable entity pending the necessary genetic comparisons to establish its taxonomic validity (USFWS 2012). Given placement of the Basalt Juga as a synonym of this wider-ranging species, a listing decision can now be made but will require consideration of the full range of J. bulbosa.
