Pomacea occulta is a species of freshwater snail in the family Ampullariidae.[1] Previously misidentified as the cryptically similar Pomacea maculata, P. occulta was differentiated by Yang et al. in 2019 using DNA barcoding and molecular systematics.[2]
Distribution
[edit]This species has only been identified from invasive populations in China, so its native region is not known, but would be somewhere in South America.[2]
