Pagodulina pagodula (Des Moulins, 1830) [1] | |
Pagodulina pagodula is a species of minute land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk, or micromollusk, in the family Pagodulinidae, and the superfamily Pupilloidea. [2]
Pagodulina pagodula is the type species of the genus Pagodulina.
The genus and the species name both mean little pagoda, a reference to the shape of the shell.
The shells of this snail species are minute, about 3 mm in height, barrel-shaped or skep-shaped, with a flared and somewhat ear-shaped aperture.
The distribution of this species is Alpine. [3] It occurs in the following countries:
Bulimulidae is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to large, air-breathing, tropical and sub-tropical land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.
Vertigo is a genus of minute, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the family Vertiginidae, the whorl snails.
Vertigo genesii, common name the round-mouthed whorl snail, is a species of minute air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Vertiginidae, the whorl snails.
Discus is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Discidae, the disk snails.
Truncatellina claustralis is a species of very minute, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc, or micromollusc, in the family Truncatellinidae, the vertigo snails and their allies.
Clausiliidae, also known by the common name door snails, is a taxonomic family of small, very elongate, mostly left-handed, air-breathing land snails, sinistral terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.
Truncatella is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Truncatellidae. These small and minute snails live on land, very close to seawater. They walk with a strange looping action, and the adults have truncated shells. Many of the species are small enough to be considered micromollusks.
Truncatellina is a genus of very small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Truncatellinidae.
Vallonia is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Valloniidae.
Vallonia enniensis is a species of minute land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Valloniidae.
Videna is a genus of terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Trochomorphidae.
Pagodulina is a genus of very small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Pagodulinidae.
Vertigo alpestris is a species of minute, air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the family Vertiginidae, the whorl snails.
Vitrina pellucida is species of small land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Vitrinidae, the glass snails.
Anostoma, common name the up-mouth snails, is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Odontostomidae. Snails in this genus are found in Brazil.
Haminoea is a genus of medium-sized sea snails or bubble snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod molluscs in the family Haminoeidae, the haminoea bubble snails, part of the clade Cephalaspidea, the headshield slugs and bubble snails.
Ganesella is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Camaeninae of the family Camaenidae.
Pagodulinidae is a family of gastropods belonging to the superfamily Pupilloidea.
