Margarya francheti is a species of large operculate freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Viviparidae, the river snails.
Taxonomy
He J.(2013) introduced a new subgenus, Mabillemargarya, for M. francheti; however, this taxonomic act is not supported by comparative morphology and molecular phylogenetics. Therefore, Mabillemargarya is considered as a junior synonym of Margarya.
Distribution
The distribution of Margarya francheti includes Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Jianhu Lake in Yunnan Province, China.
Description
Zhang et al. (2015) provided details about the shell and about the radula.
