I have reviewed the proposal and agree with the proposed listing of these three mollusks. I do not have any additional data to add to this proposal. I would strongly recommend a modern phylogenetic analysis of both of the freshwater snail species. This should be done in a framework including other pleurocerid taxa with examples of topotypic specimens of all taxa examined and representative topotypes of the type species of the described generic level taxa to test our current classification of this family.
