PYRAMIDELLIDAE (MOLLUSCA, GASTROPODA, HETEROBRANCHIA) OF THE FAROE ISLANDS

The pyramidellid fauna of the Faroe Islands is surveyed. Material coll ected during the BIOFAR and BIOICE programs, the collections in the Zo ological museum in Copenhagen as well as collections made by the autho r are reported. Most of the pyramidellid material mentioned in ''The Z oology of The Faroes'' has been reexamined. The following species are now known from the Faroe Islands: Odostomia unidentata (MONTAGU, 1803) ; Odostomia turrita HANLEY, 1844; Brachystomia eulimoides (HANLEY, 184 4); Ondina divisa (J. ADAMS, 1797); Ondina perezi (DAUTZENBERG and FIS HER, 1925); Ondina diaphana (JEFFREYS, 1848); Chrysallida eximia (JEFF REYS, 1849); Chrysallida pellucida (DILLWYN, 1817); Chrysallida sublus tris (FRIELE, 1886); Eulimella ventricosa (FORBES, 1844); Eulimella sc illae (SCACCHI, 1835); and Eulimella ataktos WAREN, 1991. A key for th e identification of the Faroese pyramidellids is presented. Odostomia acuta JEFFREYS, 1848 not found in any Faroese material, but commonly m isidentified is figured.
