Abstract
    This catalogue of European Bryozoa incorporates the checklists prepared by Hayward (1997) and Brattegard (1995, also checked by Hayward), the species lists in Hayward and Ryland (1998, 1999), Zabala and Maluquer (1988), and relevant primary sources published after 1985. All faunistic and systematic papers relating to shelf and coastal European Bryozoa listed in the Zoological Record from 1985 to date have been consulted, but only those including new species or new European records are referenced here. Synonyms of most species included are to be found in the sources cited above; an unsourced entry indicates either a recently described species or unpublished records held by the compiler. The ERMS list was checked by J. Harmelin.

    Taxonomic and faunistic research on European Bryozoa has been continuous through the last three decades, but geographical coverage and frequency of investigation have been extremely variable. The British Isles, Ireland and the Atlantic coasts of north-west Europe have attracted most research effort and the faunas of these regions are reasonably well known, although completely new species continue to be discovered even in such well studied areas as the English Channel (Reverter-Gil and Fernandez-Pulpeiro, 1996; Hayward and Hansen, 1999). The Faeroe Islands have been the subject of two surveys (Kramp, 1934; Hayward, 1994), the latter resulting in 15 new species and 13 new records for the temperate north-east Atlantic. The faunas of Iceland and west Greenland are similarly poorly known but are currently under review. The synoptic key of Zabala and Maluquer (1988) was founded on numerous sources relating to the western Mediterranean and Adriatic faunas, on the few available accounts of Aegean Bryozoa and the even sparser records for the southern coasts of the Mediterranean. Mediterranean Bryozoa are still only incompletely known, at best, and it is certain that many more undescribed species will be discovered as research continues.
