Pleuroceridae

Pleuroceridae, common name pleurocerids, is a family of small to medium-sized freshwater snails, aquatic gilled gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea.

==Description== (Original description) This animal is fluviatile and similar to those found in the family Thiaridae; however, it is oviparous and possesses a mantle that is not fringed. According to William Stimpson, these organisms lack copulatory organs. The central tooth of the radula is short, wide, and arched at the base, featuring a multi-cuspidate edge. The lateral tooth is rhomboidal with a very well-developed primary cusp, while the marginal teeth are narrow and pectinated at their extremities. Additionally, the jaws are polygonal and scaly.
