Abstract
Based in reliable bibliographical technical reports of recent production, most four new gastropod mollusc forms (one marine - sea slug & three terrestrial) are added and incorporated to the previous systematic malacological inventory of Santa Catarina’s State/ SC, central southern Brazil region, the giant land snails Megalobulimus jaguarunensis Fontenelle, Cavallari & Simone, 2014, Megalobulimus abbreviatus (Bequaert, 1848), Megalobulimus sanctipauli (Ihering, 1900) (MEGALOBULIMIDAE) and the sea slug Pleurobranchaea inconspicua Bergh, 1897 (PLEUROBRANCHAEIDAE), raise the state records for 668 marine species and subspecies regionally known (11 Polyplacophora, 397 Gastropoda, 10 Scaphopoda, 226 Bivalvia, and 24 Cephalopoda) and for 223 the number of continental forms (193 gastropods – 151 terrestrial, 2 amphibian, 40 freshwater – and 30 limnic bivalves). Additional taxonomic and inedit regional environmental informations are included, updated for other two sea slug species previously reported for the State without specific determination, as well as new geographic occurrence records from terrestrial gastropods in Santa Catarina and in the neighboring State of Rio Grande do Sul/ RS.
Keywords
Geographical records; Marine molluscs; Terrestrial molluscs; Southern Brazil region; Species inventory
Giving continuity to the work of regional survey, again based on extensive literature review and the examination of samples obtained in the course of works done in the field,the present contribution incorporates the record of further three gastropods form toprevious systematic inventories of known marine and terrestrial molluscs of the Santa Catarina’s State/ SC, geographical central portion of southern Brazil region, to a new record of 668 marine and 223 continental species and subspecies known regionally (Agudo-Padrón 2014 a-b, 2015 a), as well as updating information about of taxonomic and zoogeographical aspects corresponding to marine and continental species previously recorded for this State and in the neighboring State of Rio Grande do Sul/ RS. During this study most another "cryptic regional work" of academic nature was also rescued (Zermiani 2014).
The taxonomic arrangement basically accompanies the proposal based on the monographic contributions of Thomé et al. (2006), for continental forms, and Garcia et al. (2008) & Rios (2009), for marine species. Additional information about the type material deposited in museums, known geographic distribution, corresponding synonyms and other aspects relative to the related species, can be obtained through the literature mentioned in the context of this contribution.

Marine forms
The coastal plain of the State of Santa Catarina/ SC (Lindner 2014: 11), 25°57’41’’S - 29°23’55’’S, having a length of 580 km of meandering and diverse mainland and island coast (Figure 1), is located on a large "transition zone", still subject to technical discussions because of the complexity of its nuances and dynamic oceanographic, result of "convergence" between two major ocean currents: “Brazil”, hot to the North, and “Falkland or Malvinas”, cold to the South , apparently the section of the coast of Brazil between “Rio de Janeiro - RJ” and “Santa Catarina - SC” regions functions as an "ecological filter", preventing the dispersal of species, they are thermophilic - typical of the marine zoogeographical Caribbean Province - or cryophilic - typical of the Patagonian marine zoogeographical Province (Agudo-Padrón 2012, 2014 b).
This condition determines in the local environment a sensitive, diverse and heterogeneous biotic faunal composition, whose characteristics are to have a high potential on the contemporary practice of marine malacoculture (Agudo-Padrón & Bleicker 2009: 5) as well as incentive for the development of accurate research on the marine biotic diversity occurring in it (Agudo-Padrón 2012). But, paradoxically, regional literature of recent production unexpectedly speculates that, by example, only about “550 species” occur on the coast of Santa Catarina State/ SC (Agudo-Padrón 2014 b: 36), fact that only reflects the profound regional collective unfamiliarity that still prevails around the subject, when earlier contributions already published outweigh said numerical estimate (Agudo-Padrón et al. 2009):
