Resumo

Introduction: Since of the year 2014, the “AM Project” (Brazil) has been carrying out taxonomic, bioecological and conservationist research on "non-marine molluscs" present in the environment of the Caribbean continental territory of the Sucre State and adjacent areas, Northeast region of Venezuela , with special emphasis on its terrestrial and arboreal forest species (Agudo-Padrón 2021), a geographic region historically little studied in this aspect of its natural history, involving today a general preliminary total of 67 verified forms/ species (44 land/ terrestrial and 23 limnic/ freshwater), included in 49 genera and 28 families. Objective: Substantial update of this knowledge, with the incorporation of new species to the regional inventory. Methodology: Updated review of cryptic regional malacological bibliography and taxonomic examination & determination of specimens (vouchers) deposited in malacological collection of scientific museum. Results and conclusions: Incorporation of three (3) land/ terrestrial gastropod (forest snail) species into the previously established regional inventory, taxonomically grouped all into 1 genera and 1 family, bringing to 47 its your number of regionally land known forms.
