Stenomelania plicaria, commonly known as the chopstick snail or the yellow chopstick snail, is a species of trumpet snail, first described by I. von Born under the synonymized name Helix pilcaria (Index rerum naturalium Musei Cæsarei Vindobonensis (pg. 403)).

Description

S. plicaria maximum growth size has not been well studied. The Encyclopedia of Life states a maximum size of 2.4 in (61 mm), though this number is known to vary among different sources. S. plicaria contains both a gill and an operculum, as well as a long, pointed dextrally coiled turreted shell, fading from brown to light grey.

Distribution

Range of S. plicaria has not been described, though multiple sightings have been reported in the Southeast Asian and South Pacific regions.

Life cycle

S. plicaria is a gonochoric, broadcast spawner, beginning life as embryos, developing into planktonic trocophore larvae, later juvenile veligers, and finally adults. Embryos, larvae, and veligers are unable to survive under freshwater conditions.
