Description
[edit]The shell has 4.5–5 whorls.[2]
The shape of the aperture is regularly oval. The width of the aperture is 3–4 mm. The height of the aperture is 5–6 mm.[2]
The width of the shell is 4–6 mm. The height of the shell is 10–13 mm.[2]
(Described in Latin as Limnea volutata) The shell is small, very finely striated, and tawny in color, possessing a cylindrically ovate shape. The spire is decollated, with only two to three oblique, slightly convex whorls remaining. The suture is moderate in depth. The aperture is ovate and exceeds half the total length of the shell, while the columella is reddish and strongly sinuous.[3]
Habitat
[edit]Orientogalba viridis was found in rice fields, ditches, small canals, and submerged vegetable fields.[2]
Parasites
[edit]Parasites of Orientogalba viridis include:
- Orientocreadium batrachoides
