Erhaia Banepaensis
''Erhaia'' is a genus of small to minute freshwater snails with a gill and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Amnicolidae. ''Erhaia'' is the type genus of the tribe Erhaiini, which is now a synonym of the subfamily Amnicolinae. ''Erhaia'' (also within the tribe Erhaiini) was originally described as a genus within the Pomatiopsidae in 1985, but Wilke et al. (2000, 2001) moved it to the Amnicolidae.Wilke T., Davis G.

Thiaridae
Thiaridae, common name thiarids or trumpet snails, is a family of tropical freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea. MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Thiaridae Gill, 1871 (1823). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=196287 on 2021-07-28 Taxonomy Many species of freshwater snails that are characterized by a turreted shell were originally placed within the genus ''Melania'' Lamarck, 1799. This genus as delimited by authors of the late 19th and early 20th century contained hundreds of species, and was successively split into different groupings. Over time, infrageneric groups (subgenera) were elevated to the rank of independent genera and the genus ''Melania'' was elevated to the rank of a family, Melanidae. However, the genus name ''Melania'' Lamarck, 1799 was demonstrated to be a junior synonym of the genus name ''Thiara'' Röding, 1798. Conseq ...

Ampullariidae
Ampullariidae, commonly known as the apple snails, is a family of large freshwater snails, aquatic gastropod mollusks with a gill and an operculum. These snails simultaneously have a gill and a lung as functional respiratory structures, which are separated by a division of the mantle cavity. This adaptation allows these animals to be amphibious. Species in this family are considered gonochoristic, meaning that each individual organism is either male or female. Systematics and taxonomy Ampullariidae belongs to the superfamily Ampullarioidea, and is also its type family. It comprised two subfamilies according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005, which followed the classification proposed by Berthold (1991), including Ampullariinae Gray, 1824, and Afropominae Berthold, 1991. The current classification accepted by WoRMS includes Ampullariinae and Pomaceinae Starobogatov, 1983. Genera Ampullariidae are probably of Gondwanan origin, and the divers ...
