''Afropomus balanoidea'' is a species of freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Ampullariidae, the apple snails and their allies. ''Afropomus balanoidea'' is the only species in the genus ''Afropomus''.〔Brown D. S. (1994). ''Freshwater Snails of Africa and their Medical Importance''. Taylor & Francis. ISBN 0-7484-0026-5.〕 ''Afropomus'' is the type genus of the subfamily Afropominae. Based on the anatomy, mainly that of the reproductive system, ''Afropomus'' appears to be a primitive genus within the Ampullariidae.〔 This basal position of ''Afropomus'' within Ampullariidae has also been confirmed by molecular phylogeny.〔Jørgensen A., Kristensen T. K. & Madsen H. (2008). "A molecular phylogeny of apple snails (Gastropoda, Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae) with an emphasis on African species". ''Zoologica Scripta'' 37(3): 245-252. .〕 == Subspecies == Subspecies of ''Afropomus balanoidea'' include: * ''Afropomus balanoidea balanoidea'' (Gould, 1850) * ''Afropomus balanoidea nimbae'' Binder, 1963〔 This subspecies from the Ivory Coast has a higher spire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Afropomus balanoidea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
