Idiopyrgus is a genus of freshwater snails with gills and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Pomatiopsidae.[1]

Distribution

The distribution of the genus Idiopyrgus includes Brazil.[1]

Species

Species within the genus Idiopyrgus include:

Idiopyrgus pilbryi F. Baker, 1913[1]
Idiopyrgus souleyetianus Pilsbry, 1911[1] - type species[2]
Idiopyrgus walkeri Pilsbry, 1924[1]

Malek (1983) noted that Idiopyrgus pilbryi and Idiopyrgus walkeri were described from shells only, but should stay valid until the anatomy of the soft parts is also elucidated.[1]
