Bithynia is a genus of small freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic prosobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Bithyniidae.

The diploid chromosome number of Bithynia sp. from Egypt is 2n=32.[2]

Species

Glöer (2002)[3] recognized four subnenera Bithynia, Codiella, Neumayria and Parafossarulus within European species. He reassigned two European extinct species of Parafossarulus into a subgenus of the genus Bithynia, but the genus Parafossarulus is generally accepted for the Asian species.[3] The subnenus Digoniostoma is also recognized for Asian species.

Subgenera and species within the genus Bithynia include:

Subgenus Bithynia Leach, 1818

Subgenus Codiella Locard, 1894

Subgenus Neumayria De Stefani, 1887[5]

Subgenus Digoniostoma Annandale, 1920[6]

Subgenus Incertae sedis[11]

  • Bithynia badiella (Küster, 1852)
  • Bithynia phialensis (Conrad, 1852)
  • Bithynia pseudemmericia Schütt, 1964
