Hi Conch-L folks!
                        I have come across some Malawian non-marine shells
in an old collection I acquired last year.
                        The species I have found are listed below:

                        Gastropods:

                        Bellamya capillata (Frauenfeld, 1865)
                        Bellamya jeffreysi (Frauenfeld, 1865)
                        Bulinus globosus (Morelet, 1866)
                        Bulinus nyassanus (Smith, 1877)
                        Bulinus truncatus (Audouin, 1927)
                        Gabbiella stanleyi (Smith, 1877)
                        Lanistes nyassanus Dohrn, 1865
                        Lymnaea natalensis Krauss, 1848

                        Bivalves:

                        Aspatharia nyassaensis (Lea, 1864)
                        Aspatharia wahlbergi (Krauss, 1848)
                        Mutela alata (Lea, 1864)

                        I can find no references at all for the bivalves...
                        I have multiple specimens of all species. If anybody
has any information on these species, e.g. validity of names, rarity,
references, etc, I would be very pleased to hear from you off list.
                        They were the last things I expected to find in the
collection as it was primarily a marine lot!
                        I look forward to hearing from you...
                        SIMON TAYLOR
