List of non-marine molluscs of Madagascar

Location of Madagascar

The non-marine molluscs of Madagascar are a part of the molluscan fauna of Madagascar (wildlife of Madagascar).

In tropical rainforests of Madagascar, there is high diversity of species of terrestrial gastropods and many species has low population density, so many of them are "extremely rare".[1][2]

About 50% of land snails in Madagascar are related to land snails in Africa.[3]
