Re: Malaysian Trumpet Snail
Hi Tom,
There seems to be debate about the current name of MTS. There also seems to
be two species, I don't know which one is really our MTS.
I've seen all the following names:
Melanoides tubercularia
Melanoides tuberculata (Muller, 1774)
Melanoides tuberculatus
Melanoides turricula
Thiara turricala
Here's some websites:

I'd suggest emailing some malacologists that work with thiarids... they
could probably help you find some good resources.
