Freshwater gastropods


27 freshwater gastropod species (37% of freshwater gastropod species in Iran) are endemic to Iran.
Species of freshwater gastropods of Iran include:

Melanopsis sp. - Mansoorian (2001) listed Melanopsis from Iran as Melanopsis nodosa Mousson, 1874 and as Melanopsis praemorsa (Linnaeus, 1758), but Glöer and Pešić (2012) claimed that there are nine possible names for this species and that further study is necessary to establish under which name or names the Iranian populations should be placed.
Potamididae

Thiaridae

Thiara scabra (O.F. Müller, 1774)
Melanoides tuberculata (O. F. Müller, 1774)

Radix labiata (Rossmaessler, 1835)
Galba truncatula (Müller, 1774)
Galba schirazensis Küster, 1862

Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1774)
Doubtful Lymnaeidae:

Radix lagotis (Schrank, 1803) - It was recorded from Iran by Martens (1874) and by Biggs (1937), but this species most probably does not occur in Iran.

Ferrissia isseli (Bourguignat, 1866)
Physidae

Physella acuta (Draparnaud, 1805)
Freshwater species excluded from the list:

Theodoxus fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was listed by Glöer & Pešić (2012) from Iran. But Sands et al. (2012) found no evidence for the occurrence of this species.
Bithynia badiella (Küster, 1852)
Bithynia troschelii (Pasch, 1842)
Acroloxus lacustris (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was recorded by Lothar Forcart in 1935. But an analysis of the two specimens from Forcart’s collection (NMB 11516a) identified as Acroloxus lacustris from Mazandaran Province shows that these specimens belong to Acroloxus pseudolacustris.
