Rhodacmea is a genus of small freshwater snails or limpets, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.[1]
Rhodacmea is the type genus of the subfamily Rhodacmeinae.[2]
Anatomy
These animals have a pallial lung, as do all pulmonate snails, but they also have a false gill or "pseudobranch". This serves as a gill, which is necessary as, in their non-tidal habitat, these limpets never reach the surface for air.
Species
Species in the genus Rhodacmea include:
- Rhodacmea elatior (Anthony, 1855) – domed ancylid[3]
- Rhodacmea filosa (Conrad, 1834) – wicker ancylid,[4] type species[5]
- Rhodacmea hinkleyi (Walker, 1908)[1]
