ABSTRACT A total of twenty-one exotic mollusc taxa were assessed for Santa Catarina State (SC), fifteen Gastropoda and
six Bivalvia (twelve terrestrial, five limnic/freshwater - three gastropods and two bivalves, and four marine
bivalves). Of these, fourteen are confirmed as invasive species (nine terrestrial, three limnic/freshwater, and
two marine).

is still localized within Santa Catarina State (Magalhes et al., 2007; Schaefer et al., 2009).
