Abstract

The malacologist Wim Maassen was an autodidact and citizen scientist, with a primary interest in land- and freshwater molluscs. A short biography is presented; an overview is given of the taxa described by him, as well as a bibliography of his malacological papers. He introduced 119 new taxa, and (co)authored 114 papers over a time span of 55 years. Most of his work is dedicated to former Yugoslavia, Greece, and southeast Asia. His collection of about 30,000 dry samples from 6600 species and 2500 ethanol samples has been included in that of Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden).

Abstract

Since 1958 John van Aartsen had a keen interest in molluscs of the Mediterranean, and particularly the differences in malacofauna of the western and eastern parts of that basin. He focussed on Rissoidae, Pyramidellidae and bivalves; published 139 malacological papers and described 105, par­ticularly minute-sized, species. Together with his wife Joz­ina, many trips were devoted to the collection of samples potentially containing small shell species. His collection with an odd 33,000 samples has been included in that of Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden).
