Item description from seller

A brief outline of the history and sources of the malacological collection at the Delaware Museum of Natural History is given. All type material (as defined by ICZN Article 72) was separated from the main collection. This paper reviews and lists the type holdings of Recent prosobranch and opisthobranch gastropods. The type status of each specimen was studied by comparison with the original publications. A total of 191 type lots of 160 species-group taxa from 65 authors is recognized; 55 of these are holotypes or syntype lots. The majority of name-bearing types consists of marine caenogastropod prosobranchs. An annotated list of all type lots as well as an author index are given. The list of references contains all papers in which the taxa are first described and also other major publications based on the collection. 48 pp., stapled gr. 8.
