Welcome to the 'New Zealand Mollusca' website.

I have spent the last few months re-writing and updating the website (yet again).

The checklist has been updated. I am also adding more information about each species, including sizes, habitats, and common names of some species. The search functionality has been updated so you can search common names too.

I have started adding references to the checklist. This will be updated and added to, as I go through my reference library.
There is a list of references here.

The checklist has now been supplemented with a page list for each family.
Click on any family name in the checklist or individual species page to view a list with species details of the whole family.
Click on the family header to get back to the full checklist.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew Spurgeon
