Abstract
Kaicher's Card Catalogue of World-Wide Shells is a series of cards illustrating gastropod mollusks, with one species being shown on each card. More than 6300 cards illustrating about 5860 species were issued in 60 "packs" between 1973 and 1992. These cards are especially important as many show type specimens. All packs and the range of the cards included in each are collated, as are changes and corrections to the cards made by Kaicher, other authors, and herein. The status of missing card numbers is clarified: some were accidentally skipped, others were removed by Kaicher before publication. Nine species were inadvertently named in the Card Catalogue; all have short descriptions and therefore are not nude names. Type material for eight of these is detailed, with designation of six lectotypes. Calliostoma vincentae Kaicher, 1986, probably is a synonym of Callumbonella suturalis (Trochidae); Natica variolaria Kaicher, 1981, becomes Notocochlis variolaria (Naticidae), new combination; Amaea teramachii Kaicher, 1980, is A. (Scalina) sericogazea (Epitoniidae), new synonym; Haustrum ventricosum Kaicher, 1980, is Dicathais orbita (Muricidae), new synonym; Terebra delicatula Kaicher, 1981, is T. alba (Terebridae), new synonym; Conus alexandrinus Kaicher, 1977 (Conidae) is the valid name for C. musivus Trovao, 1975, non C. musivum Sowerby, 1833, and its replacement name, C. tevesi Trovao, 1978, new synonyms; Conus lineopunctatus Kaicher, 1977, is the valid name for C. guttatus Kiener, 1845, non Cucullus guttatus Roeding, 1798 (a Conus), and its replacement name, Conus neoguttatus da Motta, 1991, new synonyms; Conus lobitensis Kaicher, 1977, is C. fuscolineatus Sowerby, 1905, new synonym; and Conus negroides Kaicher, 1977, is the valid name for C. gabrielae Rolan and Roeckel, 2000, new synonym. A first reviser's choice is made for the spelling of Epitonium oyasionensis Ozaki, 1958, which is judged not to be a senior synonym of Amaea sericogazea.
