I have noticed that WoRMS has steadily been accumulating non-marine mollusk entries for many years now, at least 5 years, probably closer to 10 years.
MolluscaBase was/is created as a spin-off from WoRMS — if you find a non-marine species which is present on WoRMS, and look it up on MolluscaBase, you will be able to see that the data and the arrangement of the data is identical on both of the two databases. The two databases are currently still interdependent.
Eventually MolluscaBase will indeed cover all mollusks, including all the fossil species.
