Mesodon thyroidus is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.
Parasites of Mesodon thyroidus include:
Mesodon is a genus of land snails in the family Polygyridae.
Polygyra is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Polygyridae.
Polygyridae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Neohelix is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Polygyridae.
Allogona is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Polygyridae.
Appalachina is a genus of small, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Polygyridae.
Allogona townsendiana, common name the Oregon forestsnail, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.
Leidyula floridana, common name the Florida leatherleaf, is a species of tropical air-breathing land slug, shell-less terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Veronicellidae.
Euglandina vanuxemensis, is a species of predatory air-breathing land snail, a carnivorous terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Spiraxidae.
Helminthoglypta tudiculata, common names the southern California shoulderband or southern shoulderband, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Helminthoglyptidae.
Anguispira alternata, common name the flamed disc or flamed tigersnail, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Discidae, the disk snails. Flamed discs are medium-sized snails, with shells ranging from 17 to 25 millimeters in diameter. They are found around logs, hollow trees, and rocks in wooded areas throughout eastern North America, ranging from New Brunswick, Canada, south to northern Florida, and west to northeastern Texas, Kansas and western Minnesota. Flamed disks are herbivores that feed on decaying plant material, fungi, and algae.
Vespericola columbiana, common name the northwest hesperian, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.
Neohelix dentifera is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.
Xolotrema notata is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.
Haplotrema vancouverense, common name the robust lancetooth, is a species of predatory air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Haplotrematidae.
Ancotrema sportella, common name the beaded lancetooth, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Haplotrematidae.
Daedalochila auriculata is a species of air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Polygyridae.
Polygyra cereolus is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Polygyridae.
William Greene Binney was an American attorney known for his avocation as a malacologist, working mostly during the second half of the nineteenth century. He was responsible for volumes 4 and 5 of The Terrestrial Air-Breathing Mollusks of the United States, a task he took over from his father, Amos Binney, and collaborator, Augustus Addison Gould. The ninety engraved plates which were part of volume 5, illustrating most of the then known land mollusk fauna, are particularly noteworthy.
