Bithynia is a genus of small freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic prosobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Bithyniidae. ^[2]

The diploid chromosome number of Bithynia sp. from Egypt is 2n=32. ^[3]

Distribution

Lake Skadar with five species of Bithynia is a biodiversity hotspot of Bithynia evolution. ^[4]

Species

Glöer (2002) ^[5] recognized four subgenera Bithynia, Codiella, Neumayria and Parafossarulus within European species. He reassigned two European extinct species of Parafossarulus into a subgenus of the genus Bithynia, but the genus Parafossarulus is generally accepted for the Asian species. ^[5] The subgenus Digoniostoma is also recognized for Asian species.
