Ordo: Neritoida
Familia: Neritidae
Genus: Neritina
Name
Neritina mesopotamica Martens, 1874 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Records from Iran
Khuzestan Province (Mansoorian 2001[1]).
Material examined
Zoological Museum Berlin (ZMB), “Neritina (Neritaea) anatolica var. mesopotamica, Ras el Ain, Mesopot. Hausknecht”.
Remarks
The height of the largest shell of the examined syntypes from Zoological Museum Berlin was 7 mm. Mansoorian (1994)[2] in his identification key described shell of this species as being 14 mm high. Considering his photos (Mansoorian 1994[2]), he probably confused it with Neritina schlaeflii Mousson, 1874 (Figs 2f–g).
Distribution
Iraq, Iran (Khuzestan).
