List Of Non-marine Molluscs Of Trinidad And Tobago
The non-marine molluscs of the republic of Trinidad and Tobago (which comprises two West Indian islands) are a part of the molluscan fauna of Trinidad and Tobago, part of the Natural history of Trinidad and Tobago. Starting in the 1860s, the terrestrial and freshwater molluscs of Trinidad and Tobago have been fairly well studied. Thomas Bland published the first paper mentioning terrestrial molluscs in 1861.Bland T. (1861). ''On the Geographical Distribution of the Genera and Species of Land Shells of the West India Islands with a Catalogue of the species of each island.'' The Annals of The Lyceum of Natural History, New York. Vol. VII. Robert John Lechmere Guppy discovered and identified many more species from 1864 onwards, and along with Edgar Albert Smith was responsible for the earliest comprehensive species lists. The list here includes all the non-marine mollusks found in Trinidad and Tobago's ecosystem including native, introduced and invasive species alike. Freshwater ga ...

Helicina Dysoni
''Helicina'' is a genus of tropical and subtropical land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks. This is the type genus of its family ( Helicinidae) and subfamily ( Helicinae), as well as the superfamily Helicinoidea. This radiation is considered a fairly close relative e.g. of the water-living nerites (Neritidae), among the rather primitive snail clade Neritimorpha to which these all belong. Selected species Species within the genus ''Helicina'' include: From Central America: * '' Helicina amoena'' L.

Helicinidae
Helicinidae is a family of small tropical land snails which have an operculum. They are terrestrial operculate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicinoidea. These snails are not at all closely related to the air-breathing land snails, despite a superficial similarity of the shells. The name "Helicinidae" immediately reminds most people of "Helicidae", the most popular group of land snails including e.g. Helix pomatia, but the important two letters "ni" only from the Latin diminutive of the latter name alluding to superficial similarities of otherwise completely different things. Distribution These snails are found in tropical and subtropical areas but they have an odd distribution: they are restricted to the Caribbean islands and some Indo-Pacific and Pacific islands, as well as the edge of the Asian and Australian continents. Some species are found in the southern United States, from Louisiana to Florida; others in Central and South America. Taxonomy Helicinidae belon ...

Melanoides Tuberculata
The red-rimmed melania (''Melanoides tuberculata''), also known as Malayan livebearing snails or Malayan/Malaysian trumpet snails (often abbreviated to MTS) by aquarists, is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, a parthenogenetic, aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Thiaridae. 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.

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 ...
