Abstract: The destruction of the mollusks has become one of the most important factors to restrict the tropical orchid production. In our report,the harmful mollusks in the orchid gardens in the northern regions of Hainan Island (Haikou),central regions of Hainan Island(Qiongzhong)and southern regions of Hainan Island(Sanya) were investigated. The results indicated that 5 species of snails,which were Achatina fulica (Bowdich,1822),Camena platydons( Benson,1851),Acusta tourannensis rhodostoma (Moellendorff,1884),Succinea orientalis (Pfeiffer,1845) and Microcystina sinica (Moellendorff,1885),and 2 slug species,one of which was Meghimatium bilineatum(Benson,1842)and another one which was not identified was extremely rare in Hainan,were detected. Based on these data,the harm extents of them were analyzed and some prevention and elimination suggestions were proposed.
