Cipangopaludina miyagii is a species of large, freshwater snail with an operculum and a gill, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Viviparidae, the river snails. This freshwater snail found only in Southern part of Taiwan.[2][3]
Taxonomy
This species was described by Tokubei Kuroda, the famous Japanese macalogist expertised in macalogy fauna of Taiwan during its occupation by Japan, in 1941.[1] The freshwater snail is classified as a species of the genus Cipangopaludina, and was named after Mr. Miyagi, the one who caught the snail.[4] The sample was caught in Takao Prefecture,[4] which corresponds to the area of modern-day Kaohsiung City and Pingtung County. The current distribution of the species reflects that it exists in water near grassland of both area.[2][5][6]
