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

Contents

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]

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]
