Annotated catalogue of the types of Indo-Burmese non-marine Gastropoda deposited in the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Thailand

Four decades after its publication, Rolf A.M. Brandt’s 1974 monograph on the non-marine molluscs of Thailand remains the main authority on freshwater and estuarine species for Southeast Asia and includes up to 165 new species of snails and bivalves described by Brandt and colleagues in the same book and preceding publications. All the holotypes are lodged at the Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Senckenberg in Germany, and are largely inaccessible to Thai and other Southeast Asian researchers, who rely heavily on the Brandt collection as a key reference. Paratypes were, however, donated to various other collections, including some in Thailand. We present the first catalogue of 45 paratypes of gastropods of the Brandt collection, described from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, which are lodged at the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Thailand.

自出版四十年来，罗尔夫·A·M·布兰特（Rolf A.M. Brandt）1974年发表的《泰国非海洋软体动物》专著，至今仍是东南亚地区淡水与河口软体动物物种研究的核心权威参考。该专著及布兰特与其团队在同期及此前发表的成果中，共计记述了多达165种蜗牛与双壳类软体动物（bivalve）新物种。所有正模标本（holotype）均馆藏于德国森肯伯格研究所与自然博物馆（Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Senckenberg），但泰国及其他东南亚研究者几乎无法获取这些标本，而他们却高度依赖布兰特藏品作为关键参考资料。不过，部分副模标本（paratype）已被捐赠至全球多家馆藏机构，其中包括泰国境内的部分馆藏。本研究首次编制了布兰特藏品中45件腹足类软体动物（gastropod）副模标本的编目清单，这些标本采自泰国、老挝与柬埔寨，现馆藏于泰国玛希隆大学热带医学学院。
