Landscape factors may determine differences in macroinvertebrate communities. For limnic mollusks, the influence of these factors is not well known yet. In this context, this study analyzed the community structure of limnic mollusks among different microbasins and sections of different stream orders, in a region with temperate climate, in southern Brazil. Additionally, the diversity of mollusks and the influence of some small scale environmental factors on the structure of communities were also studied. The samples were taken in four microbasins located in the middle course of the Ibicuí River, where segments of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th orders were sampled. Twelve species were found, occurring dominance of the gastropod Uncancylus concentricus and of the bivalve Pisidium dorbignyi. The results showed the richness of communities was influenced by microbasins and orders. The greatest number of species was recorded in two microbasins located in low areas, with predominantly sandy substrate and more aquatic macrophytes, and also in higher orders sections (3rd and 4th). However, proportional composition and abundance of species in the communities were not influenced by these two factors.
