Welcome to Bornean Terrestrial Molluscs

Welcome

^{Important note:}

^{Part of the taxa listed in this site consist of illustrations and text, of all species of terrestrial snails and slugs currently known from the Malaysian state of Sabah. A monograph is in preparation, in which a large number of new species will be described. Those species are below referred to with "Vermeulen, Schilthuizen & Liew MS". Thus this website is an informal publication and is not valid for taxonomic or nomenclatural purposes under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.}

This website is intended for scientists and public. We are now in the processes of compiling existing information regarding to Malaysian terrestrial molluscs from literature and reference collections. In the end, we hope to complete a corpus of literature for each land snail species from Malaysia for public access on the internet. We hope this endeavour will allow scientists and public to better understand molluscan systematics through the development of identification resources and tools to manage molllusc classifications and synonymies.

In addition to the assembling of photographs and literature database, general species descriptions, ecology information and taxonomic status will be provided for each species.

We welcome suggestions, participation and any information that will enrich this website.
