There are a total of ??? species of gastropods, which breaks down to ?? species of freshwater gastropods, and ??? species of land gastropods in 82 genera, plus ?? species of bivalves living in the wild.

There are 20 non-indigenous species of gastropods (? freshwater and 20 land species: 13 snails and 7 slugs) and ? species of bivalves in the wild in Colombia. This is a total of ? freshwater non-indigenous species of wild molluscs.

The non-marine mollusc fauna of Colombia is not fully surveyed yet. There are still 6 departments of Colombia, especially in the southwest, from which there are no records of land gastropods yet (as of 2008).
