Viviparus Montfort, 1810 View in CoL
Examined species: Viviparus viviparus (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Figs 2I View Figure 2 , 3I View Figure 3 , 6I View Figure 6 ); V. contectus Millet, 1813 ( Figs 2J, K View Figure 2 , 3J, K View Figure 3 , 6J, K View Figure 6 ).
Remarks: Viviparus can be distinguished from the other genera with a concentric inverted-comma-shaped operculum (especially Callinina ) by the following combination of characters: a thickened marginal region, obvious concentric growth grooves on the interior surface, a wide inner enamel region, and a small and smooth nuclear region.
The operculum of V. contectus differs from that of V. viviparus in having a thicker marginal region and more obvious grooves.
