ABSTRACT: Molluscan holotypes, neotypes, lectotypes and syntypes held by the Museum of New Zealand (NMNZ) are listed systematically and alphabetically by specific name. Sources of lectotype and neotype designations are indicated. Missing primary types are listed separately. Special comments refer to the status of Anomia huttoni Suter, 1913 (Anomidae); nis depauperata Hutton, 1883 (Hyriidae); Thracia vitrea (Hutton, 1873) (Thraciidae); Montfortula chathamensis Finlay, 1928 (Fissurellidae); Fissurella squamosa Hutton, 1873 (Fissurellidae); Huttonia hamiltoni Kirk, 1882 (Trochidae); Trivia zelandica Kirk, 1882 (Triviidae); Diala subcarinata Murdoch & Suter, 1906 (Turridae); Dentalium ecostatum Kirk, 1880 (Cavoliniidae); Limnaea pucilla Hutton, 1884 (Lymnaeidae); and potential type material of New Zealand Architeuthis species (Architeuthidae). Attention is drawn to Endodonta (Charopa) longstaffae, Thalassohelix pygmaea, and Laoma (Phrixgnathus) gracilis, taxa overlooked since their introduction by Suter (1913a).
