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]
gollark: It could just be that the extremes are more visible.
gollark: Apparently, because some unspecified event had occurred two years in a row at the same time for them (???) and because it's "comforting".
gollark: Also people just not caring about truth for some reason. A mere 1.8ish hours ago someone was telling me about why they believed in astrology.
gollark: That seems like more of an argument for mitigating the harms of some service things than just banning somewhat harmful ones entirely.
gollark: AAAAAAAAAA MORE "OR SOMETHING"
