The non-marine molluscs of Costa Rica are a part of the wildlife of Costa Rica. 233 species and subspecies have been reported (50 freshwater and 183 terrestrial), however scientists estimate that a full inventory can reach up to 300 or 400 species. The terrestrial gastropods reported for Costa Rica belong to 25 families and 59 genera, and include 11 doubtful identifications. Species are commonly found in paramo and oak forests Samples of the species collected in Costa Rica can be found in the Museum of Zoology of the Universidad de Costa Rica.

dbo:abstract
  • The non-marine molluscs of Costa Rica are a part of the wildlife of Costa Rica. 233 species and subspecies have been reported (50 freshwater and 183 terrestrial), however scientists estimate that a full inventory can reach up to 300 or 400 species. The terrestrial gastropods reported for Costa Rica belong to 25 families and 59 genera, and include 11 doubtful identifications. Species are commonly found in paramo and oak forests Samples of the species collected in Costa Rica can be found in the Museum of Zoology of the Universidad de Costa Rica. The terrestrial malacofauna of Costa Rica presents an endemism of 31% in terrestrial species and 8% in freshwater species. These species can be affected by water pollution, deforestation and the destruction of calcium-rich habitats. (en)
