Pseudobithynia euboeensis

The sea or spring snail

It was first described by Glöer, Falniowski ug Vladimir Pešić in 2010.

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

Pseudobithynia euboeensis is recorded from Greece.

GBIF currently lists 4 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

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.
