Bithynia is a genus of small freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic prosobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Bithyniidae. [2]

Contents

The diploid chromosome number of Bithynia sp. from Egypt is 2n=32. [3]

Distribution

Lake Skadar with five species of Bithynia is a biodiversity hotspot of Bithynia evolution. [4]

Species

Glöer (2002) [5] recognized four subgenera Bithynia, Codiella, Neumayria and Parafossarulus within European species. He reassigned two European extinct species of Parafossarulus into a subgenus of the genus Bithynia, but the genus Parafossarulus is generally accepted for the Asian species. [5] The subgenus Digoniostoma is also recognized for Asian species.

Subgenera and species within the genus Bithynia include:

Subgenus Bithynia Leach, 1818

Subgenus Codiella Locard, 1894

Subgenus Neumayria De Stefani, 1887 [7]

Subgenus Digoniostoma Annandale, 1920 [8]

Subgenus Incertae sedis [13]
