The Streptaxoidea showcase some of the most beautiful landshells on the planet. What they lack in colour they make up for in their exquisite array of intricate patterns of ribbing and dentition. They are often very small and require keen eyesight to see, and they shelter in discrete places, such as leaf litter in indigenous forests. They are little known, and many species teeter on the brink of extinction. This book is an expression of the author's hope that you will come to be amazed and mesmerised by the subtle beauty of the small and intricate design of the hidden world of nature, and this one special facet of its splendour. Harxheim. ConchBooks. 698 + 648 pp., full color with many photographs and distribution maps, 2 Vols, hardcover 4.

This volume continues and finalises the treament of the superfamily Streptaxoidea. It is clear that the confusion amongst groupings within it continues unabated, and many recent re-classifications and newly described genera in no way diminish the complexities. If anything it appears that they confound rather than clarify. Yet nothing can detract from the marvel of this grouping and its many unique and beautiful species. Harxheim.
