Viviparidae
Summary Viviparidae, commonly called river snails or mystery snails, are a family of freshwater snails with gills and a protective lid (operculum). Recent studies show that their family tree is messier than expected, with genetic evidence suggesting some species don’t fit neatly into traditional groups These snails are found in lakes and rivers across Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, where some, like ''Cipangopaludina japonica'', have spread as invasive species thanks to their ability to adapt. Distribution This family occurs nearly worldwide in temperate and tropical regions, with the exception that they are absent from South America. There are two genera of Viviparidae in Africa: ''Bellamya (gastropod), Bellamya'' and ''Neothauma''. The oldest known vivparid is ''Viviparus langtonensis'' from the Middle Jurassic of England. The oldest records from the Southern Hemisphere is from the Late Jurassic Talbragar fossil site, Talbragar fossil beds of Australia. Vivipa ...
