Vita Marina - Shelled marine molluscan species described in 1999

As an aid for the scientific community, this page contains a list of shelled marine molluscan species described in 1999. The list is sorted alphabetically on family name (except for the classes Polyplacophora and Scaphopoda that are not subdivided into families), the same as in the Spirula newsletter.
If you find any omission in the lists, please use the entry form at the end of this page to add the information. By doing so, the data becomes available for other malacologists. For any other questions or comments, please send an E-mail to spirula@wxs.nl
In Spirula you also find a list of new publications (other than descriptions of new species) sorted alphabetically on family name and a list of new books.
