A taxonomic database should become more complete over time, so the error bar on an estimate of its completeness and the known diversity of the taxon it treats will decrease. Independent databases can be correlated, so we use the time course of estimates comparing them to understand the effect of correlation. If a later estimate is significantly larger than an earlier one, the databases are positively correlated, if it is significantly smaller, they are negatively correlated, and if the estimate remains roughly constant, then the correlations have averaged out. We tested this method by estimating how complete MolluscaBase is for accepted names of terrestrial gastropods. Using random samples of names from an independent database, we determined whether each name led to a name accepted in MolluscaBase. A sample tested in August 2020 found that 16.7...

Three new species are described: Aulacospira lens Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg, sp. n., Aulacospira krobyloides Páll-Gergely & Schilthuizen, sp. n., Pseudostreptaxis harli Páll-Gergely & Schilthuizen, sp. n.

Observations on geographic distribution, habitat, and reproduction are provided. The questionable taxo- nomic status of Gymnodactylus yarkandensis Anderson, 1872 is discussed. Alsophylax (Altiphylax) boehmei Szczerbak, 1991 is regarded as a junior synonym of C. stoliczkai.
