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
- Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758) - Common (or mud) bithynia - type species[4]
Subgenus Codiella Locard, 1894
- Bithynia leachii (Sheppard, 1823)[4]
- Bithynia troschelii (Paasch 1842) - AnimalBase (2012)[4] recognize Bithynia transsilvanica (Bielz, 1853) instead of Bithynia troschelii
