Remarks
The species Melanoides pyramis and Melanoides tigrina, which have been mentioned by Annandale and Prashad (1911)[6] from Seistan and Baluchistan, have been listed by Westerlund (1886)[11] as subspecies. However, due to the high morphological plasticity of Melanoides tuberculatus and in absence of any geographical seperation of these taxa, we list all Melanoides taxa under Melanoides tuberculatus.
Distribution
S Asia, Arabia, Near East, Africa.
