Abstract
Here we present a complete list of all valid species-group taxa of freshwater gastropods reported from Miocene and Pliocene deposits in Europe. The last comparable work dates back to the 1920s and covered about 1,600 names. The extensive literature research underlying the present work revealed considerable changes in the taxonomic and systematic frameworks of Neogene freshwater gastropods and yielded a total number of 2,156 accepted taxa. Each taxon is accompanied by a full citation of its first description; where the information is available, page number and illustration reference are provided. First descriptions available as open-access full-text sources on the web were linked via hyperlink to the first page of the publication.
Highlights
The latest available synopsis for continental gastropods of the Paleogene and Neogene of Europe is the over 3000-page-thick Fossilium Catalogus of Wenz (1923– 1930), who managed to include data of almost all the literature published before
For the freshwater Neogene (i.e., Miocene and Pliocene, 23.03–2.588 Ma, Gradstein et al 2012) this resulted in a number of about 1,600 accepted speciesgroup names
The inventory has changed substantially since Wenz. This data paper presents a list of all accepted species-group names of the European Neogene freshwater gastropods, each with the current generic combination and reference to the first description
