Welcome to the 'New Zealand Mollusca' website.

I have spent the last few months re-writing and updating the website.

The checklist has been updated. I am also adding more information about each species, and will be adding more photos shortly. The advanced search functionality has been updated, but not final yet.

Many of the pages on this updated site are still being written! Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew Spurgeon
