The Sinemurian gastropod specimens herein studied come from two sources: from museum collections and from samplings in field. The study of the Sinemurian gastropod specimens housed in the collections of the Museu Geológico (Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia), Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (University of Lisbon), Museu da Ciência (University of Coimbra) and of the Museu de História Natural e da Ciência (University of Porto), has allowed the systematic and taxonomical update of this material. These specimens come mostly from Sinemurian outcrops in S. Pedro de Moel area and Coimbra region. The review of these collections permitted to recognise original material that was used to describe several characteristic species of the Lusitanian Basin, namely Scurriopsis (Scurriopsis) schmidti, Cryptaenia sp., Nerinella ficalhoi, and Boehmiola exilis. The most common species are endemic of the Lusitanian Basin, namely Pseudomelania costae Pictet & Campiche, 1862 and Oonia casta Böhm, 1901. Other species are known in Germany,Luxembourg and Austria basins.
