Source-derived summary

Tylomelania neritiformis is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Pachychilidae.

Tylomelania neritiformis is the type species of the genus Tylomelania. This type species was subsequently designated by Johannes Thiele in 1929.

Distribution

The type locality is the upper part of the Poso River in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Description

The shell is small and thick, with a short spire and five whorls. It is black in color with a violet tint.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Tylomelania neritiformis” as species of mollusc. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Tylomelania, neritiformis and species.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1929—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Tylomelania, neritiformis and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Tylomelania neritiformis”, the useful work is to connect “species of mollusc” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 6, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q7860247. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1929.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
