List of non-marine molluscs of Iran

The non-marine molluscs of Iran are a part of the molluscan fauna of Iran, which is part of the (wildlife of Iran).

Freshwater gastropods

27 freshwater gastropod species (37% of freshwater gastropod species in Iran) are endemic to Iran.

Species of freshwater gastropods of Iran include:

Neritina mesopotamica Martens 1879 - the first report in Iran was in 2001
Neritina cinctellus (Martens, 1874)
Neritina euphratica Mousson, 1874
Theodoxus jordani (Sowerby I, 1836)
Theodoxus major Issel, 1865 - mentioned by GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ (2012) as Theodoxus lituratus (Eichwald, 1838)
Theodoxus pallidus Dunker, 1861

Melanopsis costata (Olivier, 1804)
Melanopsis doriae Issel, 1865
Melanopsis kotschyi Philippi, 1847
Melanopsis sp. - Mansoorian (2001) listed Melanopsis from Iran as Melanopsis nodosa Mousson, 1874 and as Melanopsis praemorsa (Linnaeus, 1758), but GlÃÂ¶er and PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ (2012) claimed that there are nine possible names for this species and that further study is necessary to establish under which name or names the Iranian populations should be placed.

Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758) - This species most probably does not occur in Iran.
Bithynia forcarti GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ, 2012
Bithynia starmuehlneri GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ, 2012
Bithynia mazandaranensis GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ, 2012
Bithynia cf. ejecta Mousson, 1874
Bithynia rubens (Menke, 1830) - questionable taxonomic status
Bithynia sistanica (Annandale & Prashad, 1919)
Pseudobithynia irana GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ, 2006
Pseudobithynia zagrosia GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ, 2009

Trogloiranica tashanica Fatemil, Malek-Hosseini, Falniowski, Hofman, Kuntner & Grego, 2019

Radix persica (Issel, 1865)
Radix auricularia (Linnaeus, 1785) - Radix auricularia gedrosiana Annandale & Prashad, 1919
Radix bactriana (Annandale & Prashad, 1919)
Radix iranica (Annandale & Prashad, 1919)
Radix gedrosiana (Annandale & Prashad, 1919) - Radix gedrosiana gedrosiana (Annandale & Prashad, 1919). Radix gedrosiana rectilabrum is endemic to Iran.
Radix hordeum (Mousson, 1874)
Radix labiata (Rossmaessler, 1835)
Galba truncatula (MÃÂ¼ller, 1774)
Galba schirazensis KÃÂ¼ster, 1862
Stagnicola sp. - Most probably, the species reported from Iran as Stagnicola palustris represents an undescribed species. It is not possible to identify or eventually describe this species according to shells only as new to science without anatomical studies.
Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1774)

Doubtful Lymnaeidae:

Radix lagotis (Schrank, 1803) - It was recorded from Iran by Martens (1874) and by Biggs (1937), but this species most probably does not occur in Iran.

Freshwater species excluded from the list:

Theodoxus fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was listed by GlÃÂ¶er & PeÃÂ¡iÃÂ (2012) from Iran. But Sands et al. (2012) found no evidence for the occurrence of this species.
Bithynia badiella (KÃÂ¼ster, 1852)
Bithynia troschelii (Pasch, 1842)
Acroloxus lacustris (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was recorded by Lothar Forcart in 1935. But an analysis of the two specimens from Forcart's collection (NMB 11516a) identified as Acroloxus lacustris from Mazandaran Province shows that these specimens belong to Acroloxus pseudolacustris.
