A cast of Persististrombus gijskronenbergi, more complete than the type specimens, is reconstructed and illustrated. Some comments and the history of the genus are added. 6 pp., 3 plates, 4.

Another possible hybride between two species of Strombidae (Gastropoda) was recently found in the Philippines. Judging from conchological characters, the parental species are Euprotomus bulla (Röding, 1798) and E. chrysostomus (Kuroda, 1942). 3 pp., 4 figs, 4.

A new subspecies of the "Canarium" mutabilis complex is described from the Gulf of Oman. New taxon: Maculastrombus mutabilis arabicus n. ssp. 6 pp., 2 plates, 4.

Two new fossil species of digitate shells from the family Strombidae were discovered in Java, Indonesia, in the Middle Miocene. New taxa: Lambis elviae n. sp., Lambis wakefieldi n. sp. 6 pp., 2 plates, 4.

A new species of the family Strombidae, Margistrombus simanoki n. sp. is described based on shells coming from Indonesia, and compared to the other species of the same genus, particularly to the partially sympatric M. robustus (G. B. Sowerby III, 1875). Strombus (Dolomena) sowerbyorum Visser & Man in't Veld, 2005 is here synonymized with M. robustus. The genus Margistrombus is discussed and commented. New taxon: Margistrombus simanoki n. sp. 7 pp., 2 plates, 4.

6 pp., 2 color pls, 4.

A new species of the fossil strombid genus Spinatus is described. Further species are added to the genus, thanks a newly identified particular character. New taxon: Spinatus ruizi n. sp. 7 pp., 3 plates, 4.

During the last fifteen year, passed after the publication of the volume "A Conchological Iconography - The Family Strombidae", by Kreipl & Poppe (1999), a lot of new knowledge has been accumulated concerning literature and distributional records. Additionally, new forms and species have been described. Pathbreaking methods allowed the study of genes, enzymes and proteins giving access to a better differentiation of the species, unraveling the systematics of the animals which produce those wonderful shells.

This Iconography brings an up to date systematic overview of the superfamily Stromboidea and figures all species described since 1999. 54 pp. and 32 plates, loose-leaf 4.
