Biology:Ancylastrum
From HandWiki
Ancylastrum is a genus of air-breathing freshwater limpets, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.
Taxonomy
Ancylastrum was first described as a subgenus of Ancylus in 1853 by Jules René Bourguignat, a malacologist. He named Ancylastrum cumingianum as the type species.[1] Several authors later erroneously redescribed the genus under different names, including Legrandia[2][3] and Cumingia.[3] Additionally, the name Ancylastrum is sometimes credited to Alfred Moquin-Tandon, though officially, the name belongs to Bourguignat because of his publication of the name.[3]

The genus Ancylastrum includes the following species:
- Ancylastrum cumingianum (Bourguignat, 1853) - Australian freshwater limpet
