Gulf of Guinea province.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Gulf of Guinea province covers the following ecoregions: 81 (Gulf of Guinea West), 82 (Gulf of Guinea Upwelling), 83 (Gulf of Guinea Central), 84 (Gulf of Guinea Islands), 85 (Gulf of Guinea South), and 86 (Angolan).

Literature on the province is quite numerous but shattered, with the only modern general work covering the malacofauna of the region being that of Ardovini & Cossignani (2004).
