The Bouchet et al. 2017 volume does provide an exhaustive list in taxonomic order, so it's certainly one good option. As Sylvia noted, there are constant updates in detail, so you have to pick a point of reference and stick with it until you have time to revise your overall arrangement. If anyone needs to purchase a paper copy of the Bouchet et al. 2017 gastropod and monoplacophoran volume, or for that matter of any other Malacologia back volume, I would be the person to contact.
