France's extensive climatic and biogeographic diversity, at the crossroads of atlantic, continental, and Mediterranean regions, with the alpine ranges and Corsica, is reflected in the composition of its fauna. Field work in Corsica has resulted in the recognition of previously undisclosed radiations of endemic slugs (in the genera Limax and Deroceras) and Oxychilus.This checklist recognises 660 valid species of land and freshwater mollusc, of which 180 are endemic. Sub-species are also included, boosting the total terminal taxa to 747 taxa (233 endemic). Distribution in France is briefly characterised by reference to biogeographic regions recognized by the Topic Center for Nature Conservation of the European Environmental Agency. 3000 references.
