ABSTRACT Six (6) new species records, including four (4) native gastropods (two marine & two limnic/ freshwater) and two (2) bivalves (one native freshwater naiad & one exotic invasive marine mussel) are added to the current inventory of continental (land/ terrestrial and limnic/ freshwater) and marine/ estuarine molluscs occurring in the geographical territory of Santa Catarina State/ SC, comprising today a general total of 1.042 verified forms.

RESUMO Seis (6) novos registros de espécies, incluindo quatro (4) gastrópodes nativos (dois marinhos & dois límnicos/ de água doce) e dois (2) bivalves (uma náiade nativa de água doce & um mexilhão marinho invasor) são adicionados ao inventário de moluscos continentais (terrícolas e de água doce) e marinhos/ estuarinhos ocorrentes no território geográfico do Estado de Santa Catarina/ SC, compreendendo hoje um total geral de 1.042 formas verificadas.

1 INTRODUCTION Product of complete 24 years of systematic research, today the general inventory of molluscs occurring in the little geographical territory of Santa Catarina State/ SC, Central Southern Brazil region (Fig. 1), finally is consolidated, comprising a grand total of 1.042 species verified, of which 788 are Marine (12 Polyplacophora, 475 , 15 Scaphopoda, 262 Bivalvia, 24

Cephalopoda) and 254 Non-Marine forms (85 limnic/ freshwater -- 45 Gastropoda (~ three (3) endemic forms) & 40 Bivalvia (~ 36 natives and four (4) exotic invasives: mussels, naiads & clams), 3 amphibious/ limnophile Gastropoda and 166 land/ terrestrial Gastropoda ~ 21 endemic forms) (Agudo-Padrón 2020 a; Agudo-Padrón & Carneiro 2020), representing a total of 199 genera and 98 families, one of the few State geopolitical territories in Brazil to have this type of basic knowledge ordered. Involving five (5) taxonomic Families, the cited 40 species of limnic/ freshwater bivalves (1 exotic invasive mussel MYTILIDAE, 23 native mussel/ naiads ~ 11 MYCETOPODIDAE & 12 HYRIIDAE, 3 exotic invasive clams CYRENIDAE, 13 native clams ~ 2 CYRENIDAE & 11 SPHAERIIDAE – the little “pea clams”) deserve special mention (Agudo-Padrón 2020 c). Following the global trend, today they constitute the most endangered molluscs in the territory of the State, principally due to different anthropic causes (of all known), who act on detriment from their their vulnerable and restricted (lotic and lentic) aquatic habitats.

2 BACKGROUND In the course of the past year 2020, and based from the knowledge available in the last systematic listings generated (Agudo-Padrón 2017, 2020 a), other six (6) new species, including four (4) native gastropods (two marine & two limnic/ freshwater) and two (2) bivalves (one native freshwater naiad & one exotic invasive marine mussel) were added to the current inventory of continental (land/ terrestrial and limnic/ freshwater) and marine/ estuarine molluscs occurring in the State, sustained product of the work developed in just over two (2) decades of systematic field researches, examination of specimens deposited in collections of museums and parallel reference studies. One more time for all taxa involved information concerning their known regional geographic distribution have been incorporated/ included and updated, taking into account the purposeful geographical territory division of Santa Catarina State/ SC into “six (6) large malacological regions” (Fig. 1), for the purposes of the best knowledge concerning the biogeographic distribution of the species thus enumerated.

Continental & Coastal plain (right sector border) territory of Santa Catarina’s State/ SC, Central Southern Brazil region, and their geographic malacological division: (r. 1) Greater Florianópolis, coastal and mountain region; (r. 2) Northern region; (r. 3) Western region; (r. 4) Highlands region; (r. 5) Southern region; (r. 6) Itajaí River Basin Valley region (Map original by A.

3 RESULTS The recent incorporated species, with spatially occur in the specific malacological regions (r.) 1, 2 and 6 of the State (Fig. 1), involves the following three (3) marine & three (3) freshwater forms: ... native limnic apple snail AMPULLARIIDAE Pomacea maculata Perry, 1810 (r. 1) (Agudo-Padrón 2020 b); native freshwater naiad HYRIIDAE Rhipidodonta hylaea (d’Orbigny, 1835) (r. 6) (Agudo-Padrón & Carneiro 2020); limnic snail TATEIDAE Potamophyrgus (- Lyrodes) aff. peteningensis (Gould, 1852) (r. 6) (Agudo-Padrón & Carneiro 2020); native marine microsnail aff. glabrus Simone, 1996 (r. 2) (Fig. 2); native marine microsnail TORNIDAE Solariorbis cf. schumoi (Vanatta, 1913) (r. 2) (Fig. 3); and exotic invasive (Mediterranean) marine mussel MYTILIDAE Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) (r. 1) (Belz et al. 2020).

4 DISCUSSION & CONCLUSIONS Today, the current general mollusc inventory of Santa Catarina State/ SC comprising a general total of 1.042 verified forms, representing a total of 199 genera and 98 families, one of the few State geopolitical territories in Brazil to have this type of basic knowledge ordered.

However, and despite being a big step up front, this inventory is nowhere near "completed". Expectation of other new regional malacological surprises awaits us still on the near future.

The research into the conservation status of mollusc biodiversity in the State is urgent in view of the rapid changes taking place to the natural environment as a result of human activities and

Depth studies of the basic population biology and reproductive cycles of the regional molluscs are urgently needed, in addition to middle- and long-term ecological research.
