Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Clappia umbilicata, the umbilicate pebblesnail, was a species of small freshwater snail that had an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Lithoglyphidae.[1] This species is now extinct.[2][3]

Distribution

This species was endemic to the State of Alabama in the United States.[2] The type locality is the Coosa River at Wetumpka, Alabama.[4]

The distribution of this species used to include: Coosa River at Duncan's Ripple, The Bar and Higgin's Ferry in Chilton County; and Butting Ram Shoals in Coosa County, Alabama.[5][6]

Description

This species was discovered and described under the name Somatogyrus umbilicatus by the American malacologist Bryant Walker in 1904.[4] Walker's type description reads as follows:

The color of Clappia umbilicata was black.[5] This presumably means that the whole animal including snout, nape, mantle and foot were black.[1] The black color of the mantle was verified by Thompson (1984).[1]

Clappia umbilicata has 56-59 rows of teeth on its radula.[1] Each row has 6-7 central basocones, 6-7 central ectocones, 18-21 lateral teeth, ca. 50 inner marginal teeth and ca. 35 outer marginal teeth.[1]

Ecology

Jordan Dam on the Coosa River altered the habitat of Clappia umbilicata so much that the snail died out completely.

The natural habitat of this species was rivers.[2] Clappia umbilicata inhabited only the rapidly flowing sections of river shoals.[1] The snail died out because of silting of its habitat after the dam was constructed in 1928.[2] (Also see Jordan Dam and Jordan Lake).

Based on examination of the radula, Thompson (1984)[1] hypothesized that Clappia umbilicata grazed on fine particles of plants, specializing on finer-sized particles than those consumed by snails in the genus Somatogyrus.[1]
