Pseudobabylonella minima is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails. [1]
The size of the small, fusiform shell varies between 5 mm and 9 mm. It has a white to pale brown color. The paucispiral protoconch has an elaborate sculpture that is different from the teleoconch. This teleoconch has up to five whorls with broad round, spiral ridges (between 2 and 11), crossed by 8 to 14 rounded, axial ribs. The sutures are deeply impressed. The aperture is elongately ovoid with only a faint siphonal canal. The thin outer lip has no inner lirae. The umbilicus is closed or sometimes with a narrow slit. [2]
This species is found along Southwest Spain, Gibraltar, the Azores, the Canaries, Madeira (very common), Morocco, the Western Sahara and Mauritania.
Beddomeia minima is a population of freshwater snails that are endemic to Australia. It is commonly classified as a hydrobiid snail. This population was listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List in 2011 due to its distribution being restricted to a single location and range of possible threats present in Tasmania. Beddomeia minima is one of a few fresh water snail species belonging to the same genus Beddomeia that survive in Tasmania, Australia, specifically a single location in the Scottsdale area.
