The Miocene Solemyidae of Chile are revised. The holotype of Solemya antarctica Philippi, 1887, originally described as Solenomya, is lost. Due to the lack of information on internal characters, its systematic position is considered as uncertain. A new species, Solemya lucifuga n. sp., is described from the lower Miocene Ranquil Formation of south-central Chile. Its dense radial external ornamentation shows that it is clearly different from S. antarctica. It is currently the only confirmed and described Miocene solemyid bivalve from the Southern Hemisphere.

The stromboid fauna from Cenozoic deposits of Chile contains an unusual mixture of warm-water and cool-water taxa, showing relationships with either Argentinian or New Zealand taxa. Six species of Strombidae, Aporrhaidae, and Struthiolariidae are described, and their relationships and paleobiogeographic implications are discussed. Conus medinae Philippi, 1887 from the Miocene Navidad Formation is assigned to the genus Strombus and thereby constitutes the first record of Strombidae from southwestern South America. The new subgenus Austrombus is proposed for smooth species of Strombus without any spines or axial sculpture. Hemichenopus araucanus (Philippi, 1887) from the ?Eocene of Peninsula Arauco shows strong affinities to Dicroloma zelandica Marshall, 1919 from the Eocene of New Zealand, which is here assigned to Hemichenopus. The New Zealand species Perissoptera (Hemichenopus) thomsoni Allan, 1926 does not belong in Hemichenopus but could not be reassigned to another aporrhaid genus. Struthiochenopus bandeli n. sp. and Struthiochenopus philippii Zinsmeister and Griffin, 1995 are reported from deepwater facies in Chile, rather than the nearshore facies favored by congeners in Argentina. Perissodonta ameghinoi (Ihering, 1897) and Perissodonta chilensis (Philippi, 1887) are the only species of this genus in the eastern Pacific, the former being an Atlantic species, reported for the first time from the Pacific. The term Neo-Weddellian is proposed for Miocene taxa having their origin in the Late Cretaceous–Paleogene Weddellian Province.

The marine gastropod genus Struthiochenopus appears first in the late Cretaceous of the Antarctic Peninsula. Until the Oligocene only one or two species were extant at the same time. This changed drastically in the early Miocene when at least three species were living coevally in southern South America. A possible fourth early Miocene species, Struthiochenopus sp., is known from Ipún Island, Chile, but its identification remains unclear. Another taxon, S. echtleri new species, described from Neogene deposits of Mocha Island, Chile, has no precise age available but it is likely the latest survivor of the genus.

Fourteen species of Volutidae are recognized from the Neogene of central to southern Chile. Seven species are known from previous descriptions: Voluta triplicata, V. alta, V. domeykoana, V. obesa, V. vidali, Proscaphella taverai, and Adelomelon reconditus. A neotype is designated for Voluta alta. Proscaphella gracilior, type species of the genus Proscaphella, is considered to belong to the genus Miomelon, which places Proscaphella in synonymy with Miomelon. Most species of “Proscaphella,” excluding the type species, form a separate group well distinguished from Miomelon, and for these the new genus Palaeomelon is introduced with Voluta triplicata as type species. Seven new species are reported: Palaeomelon tucapeli, Palaeomelon angoli, Adelomelon colocoloi, Adelomelon caupolicani, Miomelon lautaroi, Miomelon? pelantaroi, and Pachycymbiola? galvarinoi. Voluta triplicata, V. domeykoana, and Proscaphella taverai are included in Palaeomelon n. gen., Voluta obesa and V. alta are referred to Adelomelon, and Voluta vidali is referred to Pachycymbiola. the fossil record of the Recent volute genera Miomelon and Pachycymbiola extends back into the Miocene, Adelomelon is known from the Late Eocene, while Palaeomelon is known in Chile only from the Miocene. Species are morphologically very similar among genera, and from this it is inferred that separation of genera probably occurred in the late Paleogene.

A review is presented of the genera and species, both living and fossil, comprising the Superfamily Kraussinoidea and of their geographic and stratigraphic distributions. Two new fossil species are described, Kraussina chilensis and Megerlina miracula, from the Miocene of Chile and New Zealand respectively. The ontogenetic development of the brachidium in each of the four kraussinid genera is described and on the basis of recognised differences it is proposed that a new taxonomic subdivision is made that places Megerlia in a new subfamily Megerliinae, distinct from the other three genera in the existing subfamily Kraussininae Dall. The loop ontogeny of kraussinoids is compared with that of other terebratellidines and a phylogenetic linkage between kraussinoids and laqueoids is suggested.
