List of gastropods described in 2010 explained

This list of gastropods described in 2010, is a list of new taxa of snails and slugs of every kind that have been described (following the rules of the ICZN) during the year 2010. The list only includes taxa at the level of genus or species. For changes in taxonomy above the level of genus, see Changes in the taxonomy of gastropods since 2005.

There were described 1069 new species and subspecies of gastropods in 2010, 107 new genera and subgenera of gastropods and 11 new family group names (according to the literature that has been included into The Zoological Record).[1]
