Margarya francheti is a species of large operculate freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Viviparidae, the river snails.
Taxonomy
He J.(2013) introduced a new subgenus, Mabillemargarya, for M. francheti;[2] however, this taxonomic act is not supported by comparative morphology and molecular phylogenetics. Therefore, Mabillemargarya is considered as a junior synonym of Margarya.[1]
Distribution
The distribution of Margarya francheti includes Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Jianhu Lake in Yunnan Province, China.[1]
Description
Zhang et al. (2015) provided details about the shell and about the radula.[1]
