Cipangopaludina malleata is a species of large, freshwater snail with an operculum and a gill, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Viviparidae, the river snails. [2]

Contents

Originally from Japan, C. malleata has been introduced to various areas along the Pacific coast of North America. [1]

Description

The shell is described as thin and "egg-shaped" [3] with very rounded whorls. The spire is short, and the apex may become worn out in older specimens. [3] The name malleatus derives from Latin malleāre (to hammer) and refers to the "hammered-like sculpture" often found on the shell of this species. [3]
