List of non-marine molluscs of Cuba
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The non-marine molluscs of Cuba are a part of the molluscan wildlife of Cuba. Numerous species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Cuba, which is in fact one of the richest places for the malacological fauna in the world, especially in land snails, hosting a high degree of endemism.[1] Cuba has some highly charismatic species of land snails, such as those of the genus Polymita and Liguus.[1]
A total of 42 species of freshwater molluscs occur in Cuba.[1] Introduced species such as Tarebia granifera and Melanoides tuberculata are spread throughout the country and might be a threat for endemics and other native snails.[1]
