Report on a snail excursion Bonaire

Summary 

In the framework of a series of excursions to the isle of Bonaire (Netherlands’ Antilles) organized by the Dutch National Biodiversity Centre Naturalis and Stichting Nationale Parken (Stinapa) Bonaire, four investigators reexamined the malacofauna of the island. The team found 31 (sub-)species of land snails and slugs and six species of freshwater snails. Twenty of these (sub-)species were not reported from the island before. Based on these results an ‘identification card’ of the land and fresh water molluscs of Bonaire was designed.
