List of non-marine molluscs of Laos explained

The non-marine molluscs of Laos are a part of the fauna of Laos (wildlife of Laos). A number of species of molluscs are found in the wild in Laos. Laos is landlocked country, so there are no marine molluscs.

Almost all groups of the land snail fauna in Laos have been less-well studied than those of neighbouring areas. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic, until recently encompassed some of the most significant forest areas remaining in Southeast Asia such as mountainous areas in the north and limestone karsts in central area, and some of the most intact biota left in Asia. Those habitat characteristics also harbor diverse of terrestrial molluscan fauna.
