Pomacea ocanensis is a species of freshwater snail in the Ampullariidae family native to Colombia. Wilhelm Kobelt originally described the species as a subspecies of Ampullaria auriformis in 1914.[2] A critically endangered species, P. ocanensis faces threats of declining habitat quality due to urbanization, local water management, and pollution.[1] It is the only member of Pomacea considered Endangered or Critically Endangered by the IUCN and one of only two Ampullariids to be Critically Endangered.[3]
