List Of Non-marine Molluscs Of Venezuela
The non-marine molluscs of Venezuela are a part of the molluscan fauna of Venezuela (which is part of the wildlife of Venezuela). Non-marine molluscs are the snails, clams and mussels that live in freshwater habitats, and the snails and slugs that live on land. Sea-dwelling molluscs are not included in this list. A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Venezuela. Historical background Studies on the knowledge of the Venezuelan malacofauna begin in the nineteenth century with the work of German malacologist Eduard von Martens around 1873 who published the first list of the mollusks Venezuela. Three years later the German-Venezuelan Adolfo Ernst, taking as its starting point and extending Martens list, published a second list in 1876. Subsequent to these two pioneering nineteenth century works, only sporadic descriptions were published in foreign publications. It took about half a century for new listings of malacofauna of Venezuela to be published, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyriidae
Hyriidae is a taxonomic family of pearly freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve molluscs in the order Unionida. This family is native to South America, Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. Like all members of that order, they go through a larval stage that is parasitic on fish (see glochidium). The classification recognized by Banarescu (1995) uses three subfamilies. This family contains eighteen genera. Subfamilies and genera Hyriinae Genera within the subfamily Hyriinae, from South America, include: * '' Paxyodon'' * '' Castalina'' * '' Chevronaias'' ; Tribe Castaliini * ''Castalia'' * '' Castaliella'' * '' Callonaia'' ; Tribe Hyriini * '' Prisodon'' * '' Triplodon'' ; Tribe Rhipidodontini * ''Diplodon'' Cucumerunioninae Genera within the subfamily Cucumerunioninae, from Australasia, include: * '' Echyridella'' * ''Cucumerunio'' * ''Hyridella'' * '' Virgus'' Velesunioninae Genera within the subfamily Velesunioninae, from Australasia, include: * '' Alathyria'' **''Alathyr ...

The common name comes from the presence of reddish spots on the otherwise greenish-brown shell. The species name is sometimes spelled ''Melanoides tuberculatus'', but this is incorrect because ''Melanoides'' Olivier, 1804 was clearly intended to be feminine because it was combined with the feminine specific epithet ''fasciolata'' in the original description."Genus: ''Melanoides''" ''Molluscs of central Europe'', accessed 19 April 2011.
