Abstract

This research aimed to study shell morphology, radula, reproductive anatomy, and distribution of Ganesella carinella for using as information for taxonomic classification and distribution. The results showed that shell has heliciform type with five whorls and reddish-brown interspersed with white stripes. Radula polyglossate type. Reproductive organ have elongated cylindrical penis, vas deferens is a small, narrow, and long tube. It was found that distributed in Si Chomphu District, Khon Kaen Province; Erawan and Nong Hin Districts, Loei Province and Si Bun Rueang District, Nong Bua Lamphu Province.                                   Keywords :  shell morphology ; radula ; reproductive anatomy ; distribution ; Ganesella carinella
