Lymnaea is a genus of small to large-sized air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Lymnaeinae ( of the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails.[2]

Some species are used in aquaculture under the name Melantho snails.[3]

Numerous Lymnaea species serve as intermediate hosts for trematodes.[4][5][6]
