Bertia (gastropod) explained

Bertia^[1] is a genus of air-breathing Asian land snails: they are pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Dyakiidae.

Distribution and conservation status

Bertia spp. have been recorded from the tropical forests of Borneo and Indo-China: all with very local distributions. The species listed below also all appear to be endangered, primarily due to habitat loss but exacerbated by over-collecting.

Species

The World Register of Marine Species lists:

• Bertia cambojiensis (Reeve, 1860)
• Bertia pergrandis (E.A. Smith, 1893)
• Bertia setzeri Thach, 2015^[2]

Note: Bertia brookei (Adams & Reeve, 1848) is a synonym of Exrhysota brookei (Adams & Reeve, 1848)^[3] (Chronidae).
