Abstract

Chattisgarh is one of the biodiversity rich states located in the east-central part of the country. The Bastar plateau zone of Chattisgarh is blessed with dense forests and waterfalls. The freshwater molluscs were collected during field visit under the research programme of Zoological Survey of India for Riverine Fishes of North Eastern Ghats from this zone. About 244 individuals of freshwater molluscs were collected during the field survey. In all, 17 freshwater molluscs species under 13 genera and seven families were recorded in the current study. Of these, Idiopoma dissimilis, Angulyagra microchaetophora, Mieniplotia scabra, Tarebia granifera, Radix biacuminata, Parreysia favidens, Radiatula caerulea, Radiatula khadakvaslaensis have been reported for the first time from Chattishgarh.
