Abstract
Professor Ping Chi (1886–1965) worked on a wide range of topics in zoology, publishing from 1915 to 1964 on entomology, ichthyology, malacology, anatomy, neurobiology, ethology, and paleozoology. This work provides a bibliography of Ping’s malacological work and lists the mollusc taxa that he described (29 fossil species, 1 fossil genus, and 35 extant species). Each of these names is listed with the taxonomic authority and original bibliographic reference, the type locality, short remarks on its later taxonomic placement, and the family to which it likely belongs. A table lists the old geographic names used by Ping with the corresponding modern names.
