Endemic fish of Madagascar include two families, 15 genera and over 100 species, primarily inhabiting the island's freshwater lakes and rivers. Although invertebrates remain poorly studied on Madagascar, researchers have found high rates of endemism among the known species. All 651 species of terrestrial snail are endemic, as are a majority of the island's butterflies, [[Scarabaeidae|scarab beetles]], [[lacewing]]s, spiders and dragonflies.<ref name=CIHotSpot/>
