The IUCN also lists nine mollusc subspecies as endangered.

Different estimates for aquatic gastropods (based on different sources) give about 30,000 species of marine gastropods, and about 5,000 species of freshwater and brackish gastropods. Many deep-sea species remain to be discovered, as only 0.0001% of the deep-sea floor has been studied biologically.
This list of gastropods described in 2017 is a list of new taxa of snails and slugs of every kind that have been described (following the rules of the ICZN) during the year 2017. The list only includes taxa at the rank of genus or species. For changes in taxonomy above the level of genus, see Changes in the taxonomy of gastropods since 2005.
Request to editors: please do not create any more categories of gastropods by country. Instead create list articles, article with a list of the marine or non-marine gastropods of whichever country or area you are interested in. We would also like to empty and delete the two remaining country categories we have, adding that information to list ...
