Hello,
the newest and very useful work to Costellariidae is by HANS TURNER,
"Katalog der Familie Costellariidae MACDONALD 1860 - supraspecific taxa,
infrageneric taxa, bibliography", published December 2001 by ConchBooks,
Hackenheim, Germany, with a foreword by WALTER O. CERNOHORSKY, Auckland
(New Zealand).
Abstract: This catalogue of costallarid taxa is organized in four sections.
The first comprises in alphabetical order 32 taxa proposed for genera which
are today attributed to Costellariidae; their type species, with mode of
designation, are given. The second section is an alphabetical list of about
1200 species-group taxa, which may be attributed to this family on grounds
of morphological or anatomical characters, unconcerned the nominal genus
under which they were originally introduced. The third section comprises
species-group taxa which were at one time established in a genus of
Costellariidae, or were attributed to such a genus, but are nowadays
recognized as member of another family. In both sections (2 and 3) the type
locality and the preliminary status of each taxon are given; all taxa based
on fossil records are marked +; taxa based on Recent records, that are
estimated to represent valid species of Costellariidae, are set in bold
letters. The fourth section is a bibliography of more than 500 publications
which are cited in the other sections of this catalogue.
Whoever would like to have the publishing house-address write me privately
