Campeloma is a genus of gilled operculate freshwater snails in the family Viviparidae. [1]
They are common in unpolluted rivers in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada.
Species within the genus Campeloma include: [2]
Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum. The family Neritidae includes marine genera such as Nerita, marine and freshwater genera such as Neritina, and freshwater and brackish water genera such as Theodoxus.
Lymnaea is a genus of small to large-sized air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Lymnaeinae ( of the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails.
Elimia is a genus of freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Pleuroceridae. Various species are found in creeks throughout much of the eastern and central United States and the Great Lakes region of Canada. Fossils have been found across the whole of the North American continent, including from the Paleocene of Mexico and the Eocene of California. They were formerly included in the genus Goniobasis, together with the western Juga species.
Elliptio is a genus of medium- to large-sized freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve mollusks in the family Unionidae, commonly known as the unionids, freshwater mussels or naiads.
Leptoxis is a genus of freshwater snails with a gill and an operculum, aquatic gastropod molluscs in the family Pleuroceridae.
Neritina, is a genus of small aquatic snails with an operculum in the family Neritidae, the nerites. They are as well marine, as brackish water, and sometimes freshwater gastropod mollusks
Pleurocera is a genus of freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod molluscs in the family Pleuroceridae.
Stenotrema is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Polygyridae. These are typically small to medium-sized snails, with a velvety or hairy shell surface, and a narrow aperture which is usually closely guarded by well-developed "teeth".
The Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells, are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of species in the family Vermetidae are extremely irregular, and do not resemble the average snail shell, hence the common name "worm shells" or "worm snails".
Cardita is a genus of marine bivalve molluscs in the family Carditidae.
Gastrodontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Gastrodontoidea.
Arminidae is a family of sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Arminoidea.
Omphiscola is a genus of small to medium-sized, air-breathing, freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Lymnaeidae.
Pyramidella is a genus of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusc in the subfamily Pyramidellinae of the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Oxynoe is a genus of small sea snails, bubble snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Oxynoidae.
Polymesoda is a genus of clams in the family Cyrenidae. The genus was previously classified in the family Corbiculidae, before it was subsumed into Cyrenidae.
Rotundaria is a genus of freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve mollusks in the family Unionidae, the river mussels.
Mesomphix is a genus of terrestrial gastropods belonging to the family Gastrodontidae.
Ambleminae is a subfamily of freshwater mussel in the family Unionidae. They are found throughout much of eastern North America south to Central America, although fossils are also known from Siberia. Some species have also been introduced to East Asia. They are the most speciose radiation of the Unionidae, with more than 300 species.
