Hi, everyone!
I thought that MolluscaBase would cover all mollusks, marine and non-marine, and WoRMS would cover only the marine species. Have I missed something?
All the best from Korea!

WoRMS announced the expansion a few
months ago. I've been checking weekly for land snails, and
only occasionally do I find one. Their website mentioned the
project would take some time, but that eventually all
mollusks would be included. It appears to me that the
project is still in early stages for some things.

I just noticed the WoRMS database includes at least one
non-marine species, or at least that is how I would describe
the below species...so where is the line being drawn on that
(eg other freshwater snails from normally marine families
like Neritidae?)
