한국과 일본에서 채집한 Bithynia manchourica, B. misella and kiusiuensis등 3종의 Bithyniidae 과 패류의 allozyme 을 분석한 결과 B. manchourica 가 다른 2종에 비해 유전적 거리가 멀었고(0.246)B. misella와 B. kiusiuensis에서는 유전적 거리가 0.217로 나타났다. 아울러 이들 3종의 GPI주행양상은 채집지에 따른 변이가 심하지 않았고 각 종에 따른 특이한 allele을 가지고 있었다.

Eight species of bithyniids, Bithynia leachi, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis, B. misella, B. kiusiuensis, B. striatula, Bithynia sp. from Nepal and Gabbia australis were collected from 1957 to 1988. The samples were relaxed with pentobarbital and fixed with 70% ethyl alcohol. There was no significant difference in internal structure of soft body, except the male reproductive system. The alimentary canal of the bithyniids consisted of mouth, buccal mass, esophagus, stomach, intestine, rectum and anus. The heart consisted of an auricle and a ventricle, located at left side of the stomach in the visceral hump. The ctenidium comprised 40-70 subtriangular lamellae. Eight ganglia were located around upper esophagus. The female reproductive system comprised ovary, oviduct, spermaaheca, and albumin gland. The male reproductive system was composed of testis, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, vas deferens, penial duct, and penis in order. Male was distinguished externally from the female by a bifid penis.

Shells and operculums of eight species of Bithyniidae, Bithynia leachi, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis, B. misella, B. kiusiuensis, Gabbia australis, B. manchourica and a Bithynia sp. collected from Nepal, were observed, There is no morphological difference between korean populations of B. misella and a Japanese popualtion of B. kiusiuensis. And the shells of these species were simialr to the other Bithynia species rather than Australian Gabbia. The coordinate of the starting point of nuclear spire of operculum(SPN)was species specific and this value had very limited range within a species. The result suggested that Korean and Japanese populations of B. misella and B. kiusiuensis are synonym and the coordinate of SPN will be a useful character in sytematics of operculated snails.

Eight species of the family Bithyniidae, Bithynia striatula, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis, B. leachi, B. kiusiuensis, B. misella, Bithynia sp. from Nepal, and Gabbia australis were studied for comparison of the radula structure by scanning electron microscope. Radular ribbons of B. siamensis and B. leachi had 60-70 rows, and the other species had 40-50 rows. Teeth of all species studied had symmetrical structure, i.e. a total of seven teeth (one central tooth, and one lateral and two pairs of marginal teeth on each side) in each row were observed. The basic tooth formula of eight bithyniids was 2:1:1:1:2. Numbers and shapes of cusps were slightly differ from individuals or species. The mesocone of the central tooth of B. striatula, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis and Bithynia sp. differed from those of the other species observed.

Eight species of the family Bithyniidae, Bithynia tentaculata, B. leachi, B. siaminsis, B manchourica, B misella, B. kiusiuensis, Gabbia australis and a Bithynia wp. collected from Nepal, were studied for their relationship between species. Total 20 characters were employed for the principal component analysis(PCA) and taxonomic distance. G. misella and B. kiusiuensis were closely related and similar to G. australis. B. manchourica, B. tentaculata and B. siamensis relatively closed group, and taxonomic distance of B. leachi was far from the other species.
