Taxonomic Checklist
Phylum:
The following Checklist was started because of my interest in Mollusca, and that I had not come across any other similar online information on the New Zealand Molluscan Fauna.
I therefore decided to compile a list from what information I have currently available to me.
Please email me at andrew@mollusca.co.nz with any updates, omissions or errors.
