Racesina luteola is a species of freshwater snail of the family Lymnaeidae.

Taxonomic history

The species was first described as Lymnaea luteola by French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1822. ^[4] While a later phylogenetic study moved it to the genus Radix in 2010, ^[5] R. luteola was reassigned eight years later as the type species to the newly described genus Racesina. ^[6] This taxonomy is currently accepted by MolluscaBase, the mollusk-oriented branch of WoRMS. ^[7]

Distribution and habitat

R. luteola is a widespread species in south Asia and southeast Asia. ^{[8] [2]}
