Leslie Hubricht (1908-2005), his publications and new taxa

摘要

Leslie Hubricht (1908-2005) was one of the leading experts for the taxonomy, distribution and ecology of terrestrial gastropods of the eastern United States. He published more than 150 papers and introduced 108 new names for molluscan taxa from this area. Over six decades, he amassed a collection of 43,000 lots of eastern North American terrestrial gastropods with approximately 500,000 specimens, now housed in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. Besides his work on molluscs, he also did extensive research on freshwater crustaceans (Isopoda and Amphipoda) of the eastern U. S., describing 40 new taxa in this group. This paper provides complete lists of Hubricht’s publications and of his new taxa in the Mollusca and Crustacea. A brief biographical sketch of Hubricht and a list of taxa named for him are also given.
