Dear all,thank you very much, Harry, but this is not all. After Usticke's death, much of his collection, including most of the type material, went to the American Museum of Natural History because Bill Emerson and Walter Sage knew its importance and took all the trouble to go to Saint Croix (to secure the collection of a man that was much ridiculed by the malacological establishment of those days (and for 99% rightly so). Later, Boyko & Cordeiro made further comments, often disagreeing with me [all wrong of course ;-)]. So please check the following too:C. B. Boyko, C. B.  and W. E. Sage (1996). Catalog of recent type specimens in the division of invertebrate zoology, American Museum of Natural History. part 1 (Classes Aplacophora, Polyplacophora, Gastropoda (subclass Opisthobranchia), Bivalvia, and Scaphopoda). American Museum Novitates 3170: 1-50C. B. Boyko and J. R. Cordeiro (2001). Catalog of recent type specimens in the division of invertebrate zoology, American Museum of Natural History. V. Mollusca, part 2 (class Gastropoda [exclusive of Opisthobranchia and Pulmonata], with supplements to Gastropoda [Opisthobranchia], and Bivalvia).
