Taxonomy

He J.(2013) introduced a new subgenus, Mabillemargarya, for M. francheti; [2] however, this taxonomic act is not supported by comparative morphology and molecular phylogenetics. Therefore, Mabillemargarya is considered as a junior synonym of Margarya . [1]

Distribution

The distribution of Margarya francheti includes Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Jianhu Lake in Yunnan Province, China. [1]

Description

Zhang et al. (2015) provided details about the shell and about the radula. [1]
