This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Kiel, Steffen, Hadi, Mehdi, Ataabadi, Majid Mirzaie, Xi, Dangpeng (2026): New species and records of Late Miocene mollusks from southeastern Iran. European Journal of Taxonomy 1074: 1-22, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2026.1074.3300, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3300/14534 Abstract. We describe three new species of mollusks and report 11 species identifications, from Upper Miocene strata of the Dar Pahn Unit at the Makran margin of southeastern Iran.

The new species are the gastropods Bufonaria chabaharensis sp. nov., Cancilla makranensis sp. nov. and the bivalve Corbula darpahnensis sp. nov. The new identifications include the gastropods Protoma harrisoni (Cox, 1936), Protoma kayalensis (Dey, 1961), Neverita didyma (Röding, 1798), Natica vitellus (Linnaeus, 1758), and the bivalves Anadara blanfordi (Newton, 1905), Fascipecten shanganiensis (Eames & Cox, 1958), Pecten kilindoniensis Eames & Cox, 1956, Dosinia peralta Vredenburg, 1928, Clementia papyracea (Gmelin, 1791), Paratapes protolirata (Noetling, 1901) and Arcopaginula inflata (Gmelin, 1791).
