Idiopyrgus is a genus of freshwater snails with gills and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Pomatiopsidae.[1]

The distribution of the genus Idiopyrgus includes Brazil.[1]
Species
Species within the genus Idiopyrgus include:
- Idiopyrgus pilbryi F. Baker, 1913[1]
- Idiopyrgus souleyetianus Pilsbry, 1911[1] - type species[2]
- Idiopyrgus walkeri Pilsbry, 1924[1]
Malek (1983) noted that Idiopyrgus pilbryi and Idiopyrgus walkeri were described from shells only, but should stay valid until the anatomy of the soft parts is also elucidated.[1]
