Pomacea columellaris is a South American species of freshwater snail in the apple snail family, Ampullariidae.[2]

Taxonomy

Pomacea columellaris was originally described as Ampullaria columellaris by Augustus Addison Gould in 1848, based on a holotype shell collected during the United States Exploring Expedition from 1838-1842.[3] They were named for their notable columella, comparable to those of Helix land snails.[4] In 1904, Dall proposed a section or subgenus of Ampullaria (later treated as synonymous with Pomacea) called Limnopomus,[5] with A. columellaris as the type species.[6] After 1991, Limnopomus was also considered synonymous with Pomacea.[7][8]

Shell description

The species has a heavy, oval shell with a sharp spire.[9] Its operculum is corneous and able to retract inside the shell's aperture.[9][10] They lack an umbilicus[4] and are often yellow in color.[10]

Distribution

P. columellaris is found in rivers in the highlands of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador (Pastaza Province),[11] and Peru.[5]
