Identification of species
The works of Bomme and the species he described were discussed by the malacologist Tera van Benthem Jutting (1969).

On this site the names Bomme and van Benthem Jutting gave are presented. If appropriate a more recent name then van Benthem Jutting's is mentioned and some corrections to her identification are discussed.

Literature was studied for recent identifications. Where no recent data were found Godfried van Moorsel and I checked ourselves and asked specialists to help identify Basters species. Specialists who helped identifying species are named at the appropriate places.

Current names for marine species were checked at MarBEF ERMS taxonsearch. If this source gave no results the Dutch site Soortenbank.nl was used.
