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 Hebetancylus include:[2][3]
- Hebetancylus excentricus (Morelet, 1851)
- Hebetancylus moricandi (d’Orbigny, 1837)
gollark: You *can* just use <#424419879853096961>.
gollark: I read a bit of a blog from someone doing at-home silicon fabrication stuff, but it was still slow and expensive and they managed to make an IC with something like... four transistors on it.
gollark: It can't cost *that* many millions of dollars.
gollark: Just make your own CPUs in your basement.
gollark: Specifically "the service provider has access to my messages, unencrypted", rather than "what if all consumer computing hardware has backdoors I can't fix".
