Two species of Succineidae, belonging to different subfamilies, are reported from Bhutan. Succinea rutilans, described from the Khasi hills, is one more indication of a biogeographical link between Bhutan and the Indian state of Meghalaya. Based primarily on Dna data, Indosuccinea crassinuclea is considered a widespread species, distributed from northern India and Bhutan southwards to even Sri Lanka and The Maldives.
