Aquatic Snails (Gastropoda) from National Park Sites in Northern Virginia and Adjacent Maryland, with an Updated Checklist of Regional Species
Steury B. 2014. Aquatic Snails (Gastropoda) from National Park Sites in Northern Virginia and Adjacent Maryland, with an Updated Checklist of Regional Species. Banisteria. 44:13-18
Twenty-three species of aquatic snails in nine families were documented during water quality monitoring studies and as incidental finds during land snail surveys at National Park sites in Fairfax and Arlington counties, and the City of Alexandria, Virginia, and Prince Georges County, Maryland. County checklists of the regional aquatic snail fauna account for a total of 32 species. The non-native snail Bellamya chinensis (Reeve) and the native species Gyraulus deflectus (Say) are documented for the first time from Maryland.
