Gundlachia ticaga is a species of minute freshwater snail or limpet, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.
Distribution
G. ticaga is endemic to Argentina , where it was recorded in Iguazú National Park in the Misiones Province, and Brazil , where it is known from the regions of Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo.[1]
Habitat and Ecology
G. ticaga occurs in polluted and unpolluted streams and rivers in Brazil.[3] It is also found in irrigation ditches.[4] Like several other species of freshwater gastropods, it is the host of a trematode worm, Echinostome cercaria,[3] and was found to associate with the roots of the Water Hyacinth species Eichhornia azurea and E. crassipes.[5]
