Based on investigation of collections at the A.V.Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology of the Far-Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Vladivostok) and Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Saint-Petersburg), as well as on the analysis of published data, the species composition of shell-bearing gastropod mollusks of the Russian waters of the East Sea (Sea of Japan), consisting of 331 species and subspecies, has been identified. Eachspecies is assigned to a biogeographic grouping in the study area. Its type locality and habitat (depth and substrate) are also documented. The second part of this review includes 101 species from Sorbeoconcha andHypsogastropoda (Caenogastropoda).
