S. A. <[email protected]> Abstract This is an alphabetically arranged checklist of all figured and/or described specimens of Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary bivalve molluscs from the Russian Far East (Sakhalin, the Kurile Islands, Kamchatka and the Chukotka Peninsula) published by all authors from 1968 to 1999. The checklist gives the original Latin names for taxa along with the appropriate literature citation, depositories of the type specimens for new species, geographic and stratigraphic locations (with their contemporary equivalents given in square brackets). At the end of each entry we give the current taxonomic status of each taxon in square brackets, if it has been established from studying collections or other material. When necessary for clarity, we present taxonomic and/or nomenclatorial notes. Nuculana (Saccella) sinelnikovae, Nucula (Leionucula) devjatilovae and Macoma (Psammacoma) korobkovi are established as new names.
