List of non-marine molluscs of Hawaii
The non-marine molluscs of Hawaii are part of the molluscan fauna of Hawaii, which in turn is part of the (wildlife of Hawaii).
A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Hawaii. In addition there are at least ? gastropod species living as hothouse aliens, only in greenhouses, aquaria, and terraria.
There are ??? species of gastropods ?? species of freshwater gastropods, ?? species of land gastropods and ?? species of bivalves living in the wild in the Hawaiian Islands.
There are ?? non-indigenous species of gastropods (?? freshwater and ?? land species) and ?? species of bivalves in the wild in Hawaii. This is altogether a total of ?? freshwater non-indigenous species of wild molluscs.
