Erhaia is a genus of small to minute [3] freshwater snails with a gill and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Amnicolidae.

Contents

Erhaia is the type genus of the tribe Erhaiini, which is now a synonym of the subfamily Amnicolinae. [1]

Erhaia (also within the tribe Erhaiini) was originally described as a genus within the Pomatiopsidae in 1985, [2] but Wilke et al. (2000, 2001) moved it to the Amnicolidae. [4] [5]

Distribution

The distribution of Erhaia includes southern China and India. [6] The center of biodiversity of Erhaia in China is located in the provinces of Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan. [3] Distribution also includes Fujian Province. [3] There is also scattered occurrences of Erhaia in Yunnan Province. [3] These snails live in the Yangtze River drainage and in the Mekong River drainage (1 species). [6]
