Q.-Q. Yang & X.-P. Yu, 2019[1]

Pomacea occulta is a species of freshwater snail in the family Ampullariidae.[2] Previously misidentified as the cryptically similar Pomacea maculata, P. occulta was differentiated by Yang and Yu in 2019 using DNA barcoding and molecular systematics.[1]

## 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.[1]
