List of non-marine molluscs of Australia

This is a very incomplete list of the non-marine molluscs of the country of Australia. They are part of the invertebrate fauna of Australia.

Location of Australia

Freshwater gastropods

edit

The freshwater molluscs of Australia vary greatly in size, shape, biology and evolutionary history, and more than 99% of the native species occur nowhere else on earth. Currently, there are more than 400 native described species and a further 100 species that are undescribed. A Lucid multi-access key[1] for them, together with descriptions is found at Australian Freshwater Molluscs, Revision 1A.

Trochidrobia is a genus of small, gastropod, belonging to the family Tateidae. Trochidrobia is endemic to Lake Eyre supergroup,[40] found in artesian springs between Marree and Oodnadatta (northern South Australia).[61] Trochidrobia have smooth and thin periuoostraca, and thin, simple and oval-shaped opercula. There are currently four species described in the genus Trochidrobia:
