Anisancylus is a genus of small, freshwater, air-breathing limpets, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.

Anatomy

These animals have a pallial lung, as do all pulmonate snails, but they also have a false gill or "pseudobranch" which can serve perfectly well as a gill when they are unable to reach the surface for air.

Species

Species within the genus Anisancylus include:[2][3]

Anisancylus dutrae Santos, 1994
Anisancylus obliquus Broderip & Sowerby, 1832

gollark: Can it do scrölling nicely?

gollark: Hmm, this "shapescape" thing is extremely impressive. I did not think you could actually practically make UIs like that in CC.

gollark: efficiency™

gollark: "Everyone" is the set of all people who exist. You are a person and exist, as far as I know, so you're a member of that, so you should insult yourself.

gollark: It's probably one of those "effectively impossible because there are too many options" problems.
