The type series boundary and the name-bearing type designation of each cyclophorid taxon originally described by Godwin-Austen are clarified based on an interpretation that complies with the ICZN. Previous statuses of type specimens designated by previous authors are reconsidered. Lectotypes of Spiraculum oakesi Godwin-Austen, 1…915, Spiraculum kempi Godwin-Austen, 1915, Pterocyclos aborensis Godwin-Austen, 1915, Pterocyclos miriensis Godwin-Austen, 1915, Pterocyclos brahmakundensis Godwin-Austen, 1915, Spiraculum luyorensis Godwin-Austen, 1915, Spiraculum putaoensis Godwin-Austen, 1915, and Theobaldius oakesi Godwin-Austen, 1915 are here designated to stabilize the existing nomenclature. In addition, the type specimens of Pterocyclos miriensis and Theobaldius oakesi are photographed and figured for the first time. 24 pp., 8 figs, 1 tab., gr. 8 [16.5 x 23.7 cm].

Lectotypes are here designated for twelve available species-level names to stabilise existing the nomenclature. A complete catalogue of these types, including colour photographs, is provided for the first time. After examining these type specimens, an unpublished manuscript name was found and is described herein as Pterocyclos anamullayensis Sutcharit & Panha, sp. n. 65 pp., 13 figs, gr. 8.

Condition: New. xiv, 294, 89 col plates. 270x195mm. HB. NEW. . The first major systematic review of this unique and highly-threatened fauna to appear in nearly a century. Full colour plates of snails - the first comprehensively illustrated work on the Western Ghats land snail fauna. This region includes the western coastline of…the Indian peninsula and the lowlands and foothills surrounding the main mountain range. This revision considers 337 taxa (229 species, 38 'varieties', 64 genera, 23 families). This revision evaluates and clarifies the nomenclature and taxonomy of these snails within a modern systematic framework, designating lectotypes and neotypes where appropriate, and provides colour images and specimen data of type material for all the taxa together with distributional data.

This comprehensive checklist of non-marine molluscs from the mainland of Ecuador pre- sents data on 331 species (of which 5 are considered as nomen dubium), compiled from the literature, a subset of museum databases, and some verified observations from the internet. For all taxa the original reference is given and photographs of… type specimens are provided if these could be located and obtained from museums. Where these were not available the original figure(s) have been reproduced. In the introduction, a brief history of research in Ecuador (including the Galápagos archipelago) is presented. This checklist may serve as a baseline document for further research. It is not intended to be a revision- ary work, although we have recognised the following new synonyms: Neritina intermedia (var. ?) minima K. Miller, 1879 = Clypeolum latissimum (Broderip, 1833); Aperostoma (Aperostoma) olivaceum Bartsch & Morrison, 1942 = Incidostoma quitense (L. Pfeiffer, 1852); Hemisinus pazi Tryon, 1866 = Hemisinus guayaquilensis (Petit de la Saussaye, 1853); Bulimus cuneus L. Pfeiffer, 1854 = Protobeliscus fairmaireanus (Petit de la Saus- saye, 1853); Synapterpes (Zoniferella) riveti Germain, 1907 = Mesembrinus vesperus Jousseaume, 1887 = Zoniferella albobalteata (Dunker, 1882); Synapterpes bicingulatus Fulton, 1908 = Zoniferella bizonalis (Germain, 1907); Thaumastus thompsonoides Ober- wimmer, 1931 = Kara thompsonii (L. Pfeiffer, 1845). The need for further field work is illustrated by the fact that for 60 species, only imprecise localities are known, while for 168 species no modern (i.e. last 50 years) records are available. There are 179 species considered as endemics for the Ecuadorian malacofauna. For both the terrestrial and fresh- water species the ecoregions where they occur are indicated where possible. 290 pp., num. figs, br. gr. 8 [17 x 24 cm].

A Systematic Revision of the Land Snails of the Western Ghats of India is the first, major systematic review of this unique and highly-threatened fauna to appear in nearly a century. With 89 full-page colour plates of snails, it breaks new ground by being the first comprehensively-illustrated work on the Western Ghats land-snail… fauna. Defining the Western Ghats as including the western coastline of the Indian peninsula and the lowlands and foothills surrounding the main mountain range, this revision considers a total of 337 taxa (299 species and 38 so-called 'varieties' belonging to 64 genera in 23 familie). These taxa are mostly snails recorded from the Western Ghats (277 species and 29 'varieties' belonging to 64 genera in 23 families), but also included are a few taxa that probably occur in this region, but have yet to be detected. The new publication evaluates and clarifies the nomenclature and taxonomy of these snails within a modern systematic framework, designating lectotypes and neotypes where appropriate, and for the first time provides colour images and specimen data of type material for all the Western Ghats taxa, alongside distributional data from the original literature. It also includes a comprehensive geo-referenced index of localities for the taxa considered. Bangkok, Thailand.

412 species-group names (including 11 replacement names), and 14 genus-group names of the Alycaeidae have been introduced to date. Type materials of 85% (336) of the known species and subspecies were examined, a further 5% (19) of the taxa were studied using available non-type material, and for another 6% (22) the original descr…iptions were sufficiently detailed to evaluate their taxonomic status. Only 3% of the taxa (12) could not be examined. Special attention was paid to the sculpture of the embryonic whorls and the sutural tube-microtunnel system in order to provide a novel classification for this group. In this study 363 taxa (320 species or 43 subspecies) are accepted within the family Alycaeidae. Of these, 22 have been described by the lead author and his coauthors in previous publications. In addition, there are 18 species that were formerly classified in Cycloryx and now belong to Pincerna due to its synonymy with Cycloryx. Among the remaining 323 species, 209 (65%) are transferred here to another genus, whilst 114 (35%) have remained in their original genus. Seven genera are accepted. While some questions (e.g., the distinction between Pincerna and Alycaeus) remained unanswered, this revision made three main achievements: (1) The Dicharax species were identified based on the absence of spiral striation on the entire shell; (2) the Metalycaeus species were identified based on the spiral striation of the protoconch; (3) and Stomacosmethis was separated from Alycaeus based on the extremely short sutural tube. Five nominal species are being synonymised with other species, and eight species are now treated as subspecies. The following replacement names are proposed: Dioryx urnula niosiensis Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus urnula var. daflaensis Godwin-Austen, 1914; Dioryx urnula rotundus Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus urnula var. globosus Godwin-Austen, 1914; Pincerna crenilabris juttingae Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus crenilabris laevis van Benthem Jutting, 1959; Pincerna crenilabris korintjiensis Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus crenilabris latecostatus van Benthem Jutting, 1959; Dicharax conicus jatingaensis Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus conicus var. nanus Godwin-Austen, 1914; Metalycaeus godwinausteni Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus neglectus Godwin-Austen, 1914; and finally Metalycaeus suhajdai Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus varius Godwin-Austen, 1914. 250 pp., 46 figs, gr. 8 [16.5 x 24 cm].
