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(?)[citation needed] 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]

Summary table of number of species
Brazil
freshwater gastropods about 250
land gastropods about 700 (590 species of snails and 110(?) species of slugs)
gastropods altogether over 950
bivalves at least 117
molluscs altogether 1107
non-indigenous gastropods in the wild ? freshwater and ? land
non-indigenous synantrop gastropods ?
non-indigenous bivalves in the wild ?
non-indigenous synantrop bivalves ?
non-indigenous molluscs altogether 32

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

Cochliopidae

Tateidae

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]
