Rissooidea
Rissooidea, originally named Rissoacea by Gray, 1847, is a taxonomic superfamily of small and minute marine snails, belonging to the clade Littorinimorpha.Gofas, S. (2013). Rissooidea. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=14767 on 2013-06-04 With their phylogenetic analysis of rissooidean and cingulopsoidean families, Criscione F. & Ponder W.F. (2013) have created the superfamily Truncatelloidea containing many families previously included in the superfamily Rissooidea. They have shown that Rissooidea was not monophyletic, encompassing two major clades, i.e. Risooidea s.s. and Truncatelloidea. The freshwater, brackish water, and semi-terrestrial families and genera were brought under Truncatelloidea. Families Families within the superfamily Rissooidea include: * Barleeiidae Gray, 1857 * Emblandidae Ponder, 1985 * Helicostoidae Pruvot-Fol, 1937 * Lironobidae Ponder, 1967 * †Mesocochliopidae Yu, 1 ...

Hydrobiidae
Hydrobiidae, commonly known as mud snails, is a large cosmopolitan family of very small freshwater and brackish water snails with an operculum; they are in the order Littorinimorpha. Distribution Hydrobiidae are found in much of the world, inhabiting all continents except Antarctica. In Australia alone there are over 260 species in the family. Description These are very small or minute snails, with a shell height of less than 8 mm. The dextrally-coiled shells are smooth (except for growth lines conforming to the shape of the outer lip) and are usually rather nondescript. The shell offers very few robust characteristics to the systematist who is attempting to classify the species within this family. This difficulty is compounded by a high degree of intraspecific variation. Descriptions often have to be based on the characteristics of the operculum, radula and penis. The shell of species within this family varies from planispiral to needle-shaped. The shell may hav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pomatiopsidae
Pomatiopsidae is a family of small, mainly freshwater snails, (some also occur in other habitats) that have gills and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Truncatelloidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Pomatiopsidae are well known as intermediate hosts of Asian schistosomes. Distribution Species in the family Pomatiopsidae occur worldwide. The generic diversity of Pomatiopsinae is particularly high in the Japanese Archipelago, where four of the eight genera, including two endemics, are recorded. The subfamily Triculinae radiated as aquatic snails in freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia. Description The American malacologist William Stimpson first defined this taxon as Pomatiopsinae in 1865.

Helicostoidae
''Helicostoa'' is a monotypic genus of freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the order Littorinimorpha containing the single species ''Helicostoa sinensis''. ''Helicostoa'' is also the only genus in the family Helicostoidae.Strong E. E., Gargominy O., Ponder W. F. & Bouchet P. (2008). "Global Diversity of Gastropods (Gastropoda; Mollusca) in Freshwater". ''Hydrobiologia'' 595: 149-166. . According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Helicostoidae has no subfamilies. ''Helicostoa sinensis'' was previously tentatively placed within the superfamily Rissooidea. and before that it was in the superfamily Vermetoidea. ''Helicostoa sinensis'' is only found in China, more specifically in the Yangtze River.
