Resumo

Introduction: Since 2014, the “Projeto AM” (Brazil) has carried out taxonomic, bioecological and conservation research on non-marine molluscs present in the Caribbean territory of Venezuela, with special emphasis on its terrestrial and arboreal forest species (Agudo-Padrón 2021, Agudo-Padrón & Vera-Caripe 2022, 2023). To date, these aspects of the natural history of this geographic region, located in the Northern sector of South America, have been poorly studied. Objective: Substantial updating of this knowledge through an exhaustive review of the regional malacological literature of historical and recent nature available. Methodology: Between 2014 and the present, a sequential review of the species occasionally referred to in the regional literature was carried out, examined from the perspective of the current taxonomy in force. Results and conclusions: Verification and determination of one hundred and forty-seven (147) referred species and subspecies, taxonomically grouped into thirty-three (33) families and seventy-six (76) genera.
