Treatment

Indoplanorbis exustus (Deshayes, 1834) Figure 3E

Material examined.

BOR/MOL6716, BOR/MOL8681.

Distribution and habitat.

Collected from rivers in Tawau and Tuaran.

Remarks.

Indoplanorbis exustus has a wide distribution across Asia and is an intermediate host of zoonotic parasites ( Liu et al., 2010). In Peninsular Malaysia, the species has been shown to host Schistosoma spindale , that causes cercarial dermatitis in infected humans ( Chiew et al. 2009). The snail was not recorded from Tuaran in the 1970's ( Lim et al. 1976), and both lots in BORNEENSIS were only collected in 2016.
