''Burnupia'' is a genus of small freshwater snails or limpets, aquatic animal, aquatic gastropod mollusks. It was formerly placed in the family Planorbidae, but according to the molecular markers (MT-CO1, COI, 18S rRNA), it is in a different clade than the genera of the family Planorbidae.Albrecht C., Wilke T., Kuhn K., Streit B. (2004). "Convergent evolution of shell shape in freshwater limpets: the African genus ''Burnupia''". ''Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society'' 140(4): 577-586. . It is now classified in the monotypic family Burnupiidae. Distribution and habitat Species of the genus are generally confined to Africa and Brazil.Brown D. S. (1994). ''Freshwater Snails of Africa and their Medical Importance''. Taylor & Francis. . They live in well-oxygenated freshwater habitats. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Burnupia'': *''Burnupia alta'' *''Burnupia brunnea'' *''Burnupia caffra'' *''Burnupia capensis'' *''Burnupia crassistriata' ...

Bryant Walker
Bryant Walker (1856–1936) was an American malacologist who specialized in the non-marine Mollusca. He mainly studied the freshwater mollusks of the USA, in particular those of Michigan. He published many papers on the Unionida, an order of freshwater mussels. Taxa Walker named numerous taxa of freshwater gastropods and bivalves Bivalvia () or bivalves, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of aquatic molluscs (marine and freshwater) that have laterally compressed soft bodies enclosed by a calcified exoskeleton consis ..., including: Gastropods *'' Neoplanorbis carinatus'' Walker, 1908 *†'' Neoplanorbis smithi'' Walker, 1908 Publications A partial list of his publications*Ortmann, A.E., and B.
