Freshwater molluscs play a pivotal role in the freshwater ecosystem. Mollusca diversity of Johilla River was studied during August 2022 to September 2023. In present study, attempts have been made to collect, classify and identify Mollusca in river Johilla in Madhya Pradesh. The first report of Mollusca from the Johilla River in Umaria District has been investigated. This paper gives an updated nomenclature with a Checklist/Status of 25 species from 11 families of Mollusca (13 Species are belonging to Class Gastropoda and 12 Species to Class Bivalvia) were found in this zone of the river. The Shannon’s Index of Mollusca H=2.871538658 and Simpson C=0.068555235 was determined.
