Cremnoconchus syhadrensis
Cremnoconchus syhadrensis is a snail in the family Littorinidae (order Littorinimorpha), recorded as Endangered.
The sea or spring snail
This snail order mixes marine periwinkles with tiny freshwater and spring taxa. The shared trait is an operculum in most families.
Gastropods are snails and slugs. The animal is the soft body; the shell, when present, is grown, not worn like a stone.
Range and habitat
This species occurs in Western Ghats, India.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Diet
Snails move on a single foot and feed with a rasping tongue. Island and spring species rarely recolonise once the site is emptied.
