Table 1

The 40 freshwater gastropod species confirmed from Virginia Atlantic drainages are listed in the left column below (combining subspecies), ordered by their number of records in our database, with FWGNA incidence ranks.  The suffix "p" marks peripheral species, and asterisks* mark species demonstrating non-apparent rarity.  This list is compared to the historical review of Stewart & Dillon (2004) and the spurious review of Johnson et al (2013), giving synonyms as necessary.
