Caldicochlea is a genus of freshwater molluscs in the family, Tateidae,[1] endemic to the mound springs of the Great Artesian Basin. [2]
The genus name was published in 1997 by Winston Ponder[3] to replace the preoccupied name Dalhousia given in 1996 to this genus by Ponder, Colgan, Terzis, Clark & Miller.[4] The name derives from the Latin: caldus (warm, hot - referring to the hot spring habitat) and cochlea (snail).[3]
Species of this genus are found at Dalhousie Springs in large warm (33-42°C) pools or warm outflows and in the shallow spring edges on rocks and wood.[5]
There are two species of snail in this genus:[6][1]
- Caldicochlea globosa (Ponder, Colgan, Terzis, Clark & Miller, 1996)
- Caldicochlea harrisi (Ponder, Colgan, Terzis, Clark & Miller, 1996)
