Description
The Hawaiian archipelago is the most isolated archipelago on Earth. In spite of its isolation representative species of 14 families of terrestrial and freshwater snails reached the island evolving into an endemic fauna of at least 749 described species and 345 subspecies. This diversity is figured on 186 full-color plates showing 3.117 images and 363 distribution maps.
