Beddomeia averni is a species of very small freshwater snail that has a gill and an operculum, an aquatic operculate gastropod mollusk in the family Hydrobiidae. This species is endemic to Australia. The Hydrobiidae snail has been categorized into four distinct groups: Beddomeia being one of them. Very little is known about their ecology and habitat. Low funding in Australia for the conservation of threatened species is partly responsible for this; moreover, there are only a few good sources that contribute to its limited data required to have a better understanding. Studies have shown that it is hard to distinguish the species from a morphology point of view. A non-taxonomist may find it arduous to tell differences among different members of the species. Therefore the anatomical study is incorporated to understand and differentiate them. It is found that human-led actions such as agriculture, forestry, mining, etc have caused major degradation in their population. Other factors such as changes in water conditions due to sedimentation, varying temperature, mineral level, salinity can either positively/negatively impact their population

Beddomeia capensis is an aquatic operculate gastropod mollusk, a species of very small freshwater snail that has a gill and an operculum, in the family Hydrobiidae.

Caldicochlea is a genus of freshwater molluscs in the family, Tateidae, endemic to the mound springs of the Great Artesian Basin. The genus name was published in 1997 by Winston Ponder to replace the preoccupied name Dalhousia given in 1996 to this genus by Ponder, Colgan, Terzis, Clark & Miller. The name derives from the Latin: caldus and cochlea (snail).

Caldicochlea globosa is a species of freshwater mollusc in the family, Tateidae, endemic to the Dalhousie Springs of the Great Artesian Basin. The species was first described in 1996 as Dalhousia globosa by Winston Ponder, Donald Colgan, T. Terzis, Stephanie Clark and Alison Miller. However, the genus name of Dalhousia had already been used, and thus in 1997, Ponder published the replacement genus name of Caldicochlea.

Caldicochlea harrisi is a species of freshwater mollusc in the family, Tateidae, endemic to the Dalhousie Springs of the Great Artesian Basin. The species was first described in 1996 as Dalhousia harrisi by Winston Ponder, Donald Colgan, T. Terzis, Stephanie Clark and Alison Miller. However, the genus name of Dalhousia had already been used, and thus in 1997, Ponder published the replacement genus name of Caldicochlea.
