Synopsis

This book focuses on a group of particular snails known as Stegodera that existed as far back as the Yangtze River in Central China to Cambodia. These species have a characteristically strange and distorted appearance with irregular and often hairy shells. Considered a distinct phylum, the author notes that this group of species may even belong to a new and yet-to-be-identified family. The author carefully analyzes and describes each of the species in detail and considers how they may fit into the broader family of snails. The book is crucial to our understanding of this unusual group of snails and will be of great interest to naturalists, malacologists, and anyone interested in the vast and intricate history of life on earth.
