Antillorbis is a genus of freshwater gastropods belonging to the family Planorbidae.[2] This genus is distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics of the Americas.[2]
Description
[edit]Antillorbis species are small, between 2.5–5 mm (0.098–0.197 in) in shell width. Both species have a slight sculpture consisting of fine, spiraling lines, though this is much more common in A. aeruginosus.[3] The umbilicus is sunken, giving a concave appearance to the left and right side of the shell. The right side is less concave.[4][5] Like the genus Drepanotrema, Antillorbis species have two flagella that attach to the base of the penis sheath.[3]
Distribution
[edit]Antillorbis species are native to the Americas. A. aeruginosus can be found in North and Central America, while A. nordestensis may be found in South America.[2]
Species
[edit]The species in this genus are as follows:[1][2]
- Antillorbis aeruginosus (Morelet, 1851)
- Antillorbis nordestensis (Lucena, 1954)
