Margarya is a genus of large operculate freshwater snails, aquatic gastropod molluscs in the family Viviparidae.Bouchet, P. (2014). Margarya G. Nevill, 1877. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=758767 on 2014-12-10

Taxonomy

The genus Margarya was described by Nevill (1877) based on shells of the type species collected by A.R. Margary from Lake Erhai, the type locality of Margarya melanioides. Based on shell and radular morphology, Tchang & Tsi (1949) revised this genus for the first time and recognized seven distinct species.{{cite journal | last1 = Tchang | first1 = X. | last2 = Tsi | first2 = Z. Y. | year = 1949 | title = A revision of the genus Margarya of the family Viviparidae | journal = Contributions from the Institute of Zoology, National Academy of Peiping | volume = 5 | pages = 1–26 }} He created two subgenera of Margarya, viz Tchangmargarya and Mabillemargarya.{{cite journal | last1 = He | first1 = J | year = 2013 | title = A conchological review of Margarya-complex (Gastropoda: Viviparidae) | journal = Shell Discoveries | volume = 2 | pages = 2–15 }} The first molecular phylogeny showed that the genus Margarya is polyphyletic and divided into three distinct clades.{{cite journal | last1 = Du | first1 = L. | last2 = Yang | first2 = J. | last3 = von Rintelen | first3 = T. | last4 = Chen | first4 = X. | last5 = Aldridge | first5 = D. | year = 2013 | title = Molecular phylogenetic evidence that the Chinese viviparid genus Margarya (Gastropoda: Viviparidae) is polyphyletic | journal = Chinese Science Bulletin | volume = 58 | issue = 18| pages = 2154–2162 | doi = 10.1007/s11434-012-5632-y | bibcode = 2013ChSBu..58.2154D | doi-access = free }} Combining study of comparative morphology and molecular phylogeny, Zhang et al. revised the systematics of Margarya and recognized eight genuine extant species. However, only four species were found belonging to Margarya s. str., the rest species belonging to distinct genus Tchangmargarya or Anularya.

Distribution

This genus appear to be endemic to Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Cibi Lake, Jianhu Lake, Xihu Lake, and Lugu Lake in Yunnan Province in the China.

Species

There are 4 extant species and 4 fossil species of Margarya s. str. Margarya bicostata and Margarya mansuyi are transferred to Anularya. Margarya yangtsunghaiensis is transferred to Tchangmargarya.

Species within the genus Margarya include 8 species:

Cladogram

The cladogram based on sequences of mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI), and nuclear ITS2 genes showing the phylogenic relationships of the genus Margarya indicates that Margarya is polyphyletic. Margarya as traditionally delimited decayed into three distinct clades. The sister lineages of two of these clades are representatives from different viviparid genera, which are widely distributed in East and Southeast Asian rivers and lakes. These predominantly riparian viviparids also differ markedly in their shell morphology. Herein only genus-level phylogenic relationship is given, whereas relationship between lower taxonomic units deserve further study.
