Indoplanorbis vs Planorbarius corneus

[Kitalexander]

Hello,

I am keen to obtain some Indoplanorbis, they are sold from time to time on eBay. The only problem is that I cannot find a clear way to distinguish Indoplanorbis from Planorbarius and it seems likely that most seen advertised are misidentified. Does anyone know how to distinguish the two genera?

Thanks 🐌

Hi all,

I am keen to obtain some Indoplanorbis, they are sold from time to time on eBay. The only problem is that I cannot find a clear way to distinguish Indoplanorbis from Planorbarius and it seems likely that most seen advertised are misidentified.

I'd guess they are all likely to be Planorbella duryi, whatever they are sold as.

Does anyone know how to distinguish the two genera?

I think externally morphologically Indoplanorbis exustus and Planorbella duryi are going to look almost identical. To be honest most Planorbids look pretty similar.
