Freshwater gastropods 27 freshwater gastropod species (37% of freshwater gastropod species in Iran) are endemic to Iran.
Species of freshwater gastropods of Iran include:
Neritidae Neritina mesopotamica Martens 1879 - the first report in Iran was in 2001Mansoorian A. (2001). "Freshwater Gastropod of Khuzestan Province, South-West Iran". Iranian Int. J.

Melanopsidae Melanopsis costata (Olivier, 1804) Melanopsis doriae Issel, 1865 Melanopsis kotschyi Philippi, 1847 Melanopsis sp. - Mansoorian (2001) listed Melanopsis from Iran as Melanopsis nodosa Mousson, 1874 and as Melanopsis praemorsa (Linnaeus, 1758), but Glöer and Pešić (2012) claimed that there are nine possible names for this species and that further study is necessary to establish under which name or names the Iranian populations should be placed.
Potamididae Cerithidea cingulata (Gmelin, 1790)
Thiaridae Thiara scabra (O.F. Müller, 1774) Melanoides tuberculata (O. F. Müller, 1774)
Bithyniidae Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758) - This species most probably does not occur in Iran. Bithynia forcarti Glöer & Pešić, 2012 Bithynia starmuehlneri Glöer & Pešić, 2012 Bithynia mazandaranensis Glöer & Pešić, 2012 Bithynia cf. ejecta Mousson, 1874 Bithynia rubens (Menke, 1830) - questionable taxonomic status Bithynia sistanica (Annandale & Prashad, 1919) Pseudobithynia irana Glöer & Pešić, 2006 Pseudobithynia zagrosia Glöer & Pešić, 2009

Moitessieridae Trogloiranica tashanica Fatemil, Malek-Hosseini, Falniowski, Hofman, Kuntner & Grego, 2019
Stenothyridae Stenothyra arabica Neubert, 1998 Gangetia uzielliana (Issel, 1866) Farsithyra farsensis Glöer & Pešić, 2009

Radix gedrosiana rectilabrum is endemic to Iran. Radix hordeum (Mousson, 1874) Radix labiata (Rossmaessler, 1835) Galba truncatula (Müller, 1774) Galba schirazensis Küster, 1862 Stagnicola sp. - Most probably, the species reported from Iran as Stagnicola palustris represents an undescribed species. It is not possible to identify or eventually describe this species according to shells only as new to science without anatomical studies. Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1774)
Doubtful Lymnaeidae: Radix lagotis (Schrank, 1803) - It was recorded from Iran by Martens (1874) and by Biggs (1937), but this species most probably does not occur in Iran.
Planorbidae Bulinus truncatus (Audouin, 1827) Planorbis intermixtus Mousson, 1874 Planorbis carinatus O. F. Müller, 1774 Anisus leucostoma (Millet, 1813) Anisus spirorbis (Linnaeus, 1758) Anisus sp. - shells similar to Anisus vorticulus Anisus vortex (Linnaeus, 1758) Gyraulus piscinarum (Bourguignat, 1852) Gyraulus euphraticus (Mousson, 1874) Gyraulus convexiusculus (Hutton, 1849) Gyraulus laevis (Alder, 1838) Indoplanorbis exustus (Deshayes, 1834) Hippeutis complanatus (Linnaeus, 1758) - the first report in Iran was in 2012 Segmentina calatha (Benson, 1850) Ferrissia isseli (Bourguignat, 1866)
Physidae Physella acuta (Draparnaud, 1805)
Freshwater species excluded from the list: Theodoxus fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was listed by Glöer & Pešić (2012) from Iran. But Sands et al. (2012) found no evidence for the occurrence of this species. Bithynia badiella (Küster, 1852) Bithynia troschelii (Pasch, 1842) Acroloxus lacustris (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was recorded by Lothar Forcart in 1935. But an analysis of the two specimens from Forcart's collection (NMB 11516a) identified as Acroloxus lacustris from Mazandaran Province shows that these specimens belong to Acroloxus pseudolacustris.
