List of non-marine molluscs of Brazil

Location of Brazil

The non-marine molluscs of Brazil are a part of the molluscan fauna of Brazil.

There are at least 1,074[1] native nominal species of non-marine molluscs living in Brazil.

There are at least 956[1] nominal species of gastropods, which breaks down to about 250 species of freshwater gastropods, and about 700[1] species of land gastropods (590 species of snails[2] and approximately 110(?) species of slugs), plus at least 117[1] species of bivalves living in the wild.

There are at least 373 species of freshwater molluscs in Brazil.[1]

The number of native species is at least 1,074[1] and the number of non-indigenous molluscs in Brazil is, at minimum, 32 species.[1] The most serious invasive alien species in Paraná State are the land snail Achatina fulica and the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata.[3]

In Rio Grande do Sul, 201 species and subspecies of non-marine mollusks were recorded: 156 gastropods (83 land snails + 18 slugs + 55 freshwater snails) and 45 bivalves.[4]

In Santa Catarina, 158 species and subspecies of non-marine mollusk were recorded: 135 gastropods (103 land gastropods + 32 freshwater snails) and 23 bivalves.[5]

Freshwater gastropods

The following list of freshwater gastropods is based on the two southernmost states.[4][5]

Ampullariidae[1]

Marisa cornuarietis is a native Brazilian species which is often kept in aquariums in other countries worldwide.

Pleuroceridae

Hydrobiidae

Pomatiopsidae

Thiaridae

Planorbidae

Biomphalaria glabrata is a medically important species, because it is a host for the parasite Schistosoma mansoni.

Chilinidae

Physidae

Lymnaeidae

Land gastropods

The listing of land snails is complete for snails based on Saldago (2003).[2] The slug listings are probably incomplete because they are based on list from two southernmost states only.[4][5]
