We describe the construction of amplification primers designed to target a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome b locus in a variety of molluscan taxa. Combinations of two sets of primers successfully amplified cytochrome b from several species of gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods. Sequence analysis of these amplified products revealed nucleotide diversity in small samples within several of these taxa. We discuss the utility of these primer sets for studies of intraspecific phylogeny in mollusks and potentially other invertebrates.
