| Summary: | The Molluscan species collected during the Victor Hensen Joint Magellan Campaign 1994 served as the basis for this species list. The list was then completed by literature data on the distribution of molluscs around the Falkland Islands, the other Scotia Arc Islands, Antarctica and the Kerguelen Islands. 397 Magellan species are known: 10 species of Aplacophora, 250 species of Gastropoda, 6 species of Scaphopoda and 131 species of Bivalvia. Polyplacophora and Cephalopoda are not included because both taxa need revision. La base para esta lista está formada por las especies de moluscos recolectados durante la campaña internacional multidisciplinaria magallánica “Victor Hensen” en el año 1994. La lista se completó con datos de la literatura y estos se compararon con los datos existentes sobre la distribución en las Islas Malvinas, las Islas del Arco de Escocia, Antártida y las Islas Kerguelen. La lista de moluscos de Magallanes se compone de 397 especies: 10 especies de aplacóforos, 250 especies de gasterópodos, 6 especies de escafópodos y 131 especies de bivalvos. Polyplacóforos y cefalópodos no están incorporados en esta lista porque ambos taxones necesitan revisión. |
