List of non-marine molluscs of Vietnam

Location of Vietnam

The non-marine molluscs of Vietnam are a part of the molluscan fauna of Vietnam (wildlife of Vietnam). A number of species of non-marine mollusks are found in the wild in Vietnam.

There are good reasons to suppose that the country of Vietnam, with a surface of 332,000 km2, a large variety of habitats, and many different limestone ‘islands’, will have a diverse terrestrial molluscan fauna.[1] Many species are known already from the area but many still wait to be discovered and described.[1]
