The diploid chromosome number of Bithynia sp. from Egypt is 2n=32.[3]
Distribution
editLake Skadar with five species of Bithynia is a biodiversity hotspot of Bithynia evolution.[4]
Species
editGlöer (2002)[5] recognized four subgenera Bithynia, Codiella, Neumayria and Parafossarulus within European species. He reassigned two European extinct species of Parafossarulus into a subgenus of the genus Bithynia, but the genus Parafossarulus is generally accepted for the Asian species.[5] The subgenus Digoniostoma is also recognized for Asian species.
