Stenomelania plicaria, commonly known as the chopstick snail or the yellow chopstick snail, is a species of trumpet snail, first described by I. von Born under the synonymized name Helix pilcaria (Index rerum naturalium Musei Cæsarei Vindobonensis (pg. 403)).[2]

Description

S. plicaria maximum growth size has not been well studied. The Encyclopedia of Life states a maximum size of 2.4 in (61 mm),[3] though this number is known to vary among different sources. S. plicaria contains both a gill and an operculum, as well as a long, pointed dextrally coiled turreted shell,[3] fading from brown to light grey.

Distribution

Range of S. plicaria has not been described, though multiple sightings have been reported in the Southeast Asian[4] and South Pacific[3] regions.

Life cycle

S. plicaria is a gonochoric, broadcast spawner, beginning life as embryos, developing into planktonic trocophore larvae, later juvenile veligers, and finally adults.[5] Embryos, larvae, and veligers are unable to survive under freshwater conditions.
