These two volumes are the culmination of 12 years of research and collecting to critically assess and document the world-wide biodiversity of the little slit shells or scissurellids. Some 9,800 lots and 73,000 specimens were examined. The group comprises basal marine snails (Vetigastropoda), which are minute (0.54-11 mm), usually have a slit or foramen, and lack nacre. They most likely do not constitute a clade, though relationships among scissurellid lineages and the other Vetigastropoda are still unsatisfactorily resolved.?The monograph treats all taxa ever described as scissurellids, Recent and fossil. All original illustrations are reproduced, comprehensive synonymy and literature listings are provided, multiple specimens per species are illustrated; radula, external anatomy, and distribution maps are provided.
