Abstract
    This paper reviews the faunal composition of the Rissoininae of the eastern Pacific. The number of rissoinine species has been estimated between 29 and 31, of which the vast majority occurs in the tropical part of the eastern Pacific. The Galapagos Islands and Guadalupe Island have a very impoverished rissoinine fauna. Faunal affinities of the eastern Pacific Rissoininae with the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific fauna are discussed.
