Abstract
Type specimens representing 306 species were researched, deposited at the malacological collection of the Museu de Zoologia da USP. The data on the type specimens are here presented in alphabetical order of specific epithet, another list is presented based on the authorship of the species, and an additional systematic list. In the former list the data on the species are presented in annotated and syntetic way, mainly original and present taxonomical status, list of specimens, and other pertinent data. Most specimens are illustrated, except for those representing Brazilian land and freshwater species, which are published in a recent catalogue (Simone, 2006).

The Museu de Zoologia (Museum of Zoology) was created in 1890 as part of the Museu Paulista (an institution more concerned to History) named De‐ partment of Zoology. The main aim of this paper is, listing all type specimens from MZSP collection of mollusks.
