Taxonomy and Distribution of the Neritidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in Singapore
Siong Kiat Tan and Reuben Clements (2008) Molluscs from the gastropod family Neritidae are primarily found in marine habitats, but they are also known from brackish and freshwater systems. In Singapore, there is a paucity of information on the diversity of Neritids in all 3 aquatic environments. Herein, we provide taxonomic descriptions and distributional data for locally occurring Neritids. Surveys of 31 sites over a period of 10 yr yielded a total of 19 species, of which 6 species are considered new records for Singapore.
