Understanding and Using the List

1. The common name is followed by the scientific name in parentheses. In some cases, there is no common name.

2. Most of the links given are to the iNat post for that species. Click on it to read more about the observation, see images, and learn more about the species. For some Mollusks, the link goes to indianasnails.com. 

3. iNaturalist observations here include any classified as “research grade”. Those classified as “needs id” (not confirmed by others) were also used, but reviewed and when the identification was in question, were not used. As well, any identifications solely to family or genus level alone were omitted if there were other exact identifications for species within the group.

4. Mollusk data include iNat, but also an earlier 2022 review of museum collections and permitted collections from 2021-2023. 

5. Errors in tabulation, grouping, or links may have occurred - these are a mess of data - the error is mine.

Note: Species sourced from museum [mus], recent collections [recent] or iNat research grade [iNat]. Links are to iNat for [iNat] species or www.indianasnails.com for [mus] and [recent] species.
