Bithynia is a genus of small freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic prosobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Bithyniidae.[2]

The diploid chromosome number of Bithynia sp. from Egypt is 2n=32.[3]

Distribution

Lake Skadar with five species of Bithynia is a biodiversity hotspot of Bithynia evolution.[4]

Species

Glöer (2002)[5] recognized four subgenera 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.[5] The subgenus 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[7]

Subgenus Digoniostoma Annandale, 1920[8]

Subgenus Incertae sedis[13]
