www.15yan.com/story/0ZpaGMACzBL/Snake-looked snail is the Chinese name of Pseudiberus.Luckily, Shandong Province ,mianland China where I'm living is a place that Pseudiberus gather .But they're not always looking like snake .They can looke like Cathaica.The picture below will show you that . Cathaica fasciola(Draparnaud),1801,collected in Zaozhuang,Shandong Pseudiberus futtereri (Andreae),1903, collected in Zaozhuang,Shandong You can see that they are very similar ,however,they are belong to different genus .In order to make peopele konw about this kind of snails ,I creat a topic called Pseudiberus on wikipedia.As the topic said 'The two subgenera Pseudiberus and Platypetasus were synonymized in the study published in 2006 by Min Wu and Gang Qi, because their genital characters and their distribution range largely overlap.' Fortunately,I've been taught by Min Wu .He is very kind to me,also,I have to thank the help offered by Xiaopeng Huang.Well,I've colleted six snails named pseudiberus anderssoni depressa(T.Yen),1935.This time of collecting is the first time to find pseudiberus anderssoni depressa in 1949.So we are very lucky to see them . And I've collected a kind of snail which seems like chip. collected in Jinan ,Shandong

I have written various articles on snails for chinese amateurs and potential amateurs. here is the website link:http://t.cn/R7Ofu56 It‘s a pity that they are all written in Chinese. In the furture I would translate more articles and send them here. I would be very happy if anyone would like to contact with me. I can introduce many species which live in mainland China. I am also fascinated with non-Chineses snails, and i am eager to know them. here is my e-mail address:starsareintherose@163.com

Hello friends. I am a chinese snailholic and I wrote articles in Chinese to appeal more people in my country to have interests in snails. This is one of them translated in English.
Collecting&classifying snail for years, I know chinese snails well and always I want to know snails from other lands.
nothing to do with scallion: 'scallion' snail
The pictures below may confuse many people. Belonging to one genus, these snails have various bands. It is difficult to figure them out, even for indigenous people.
In this article ,we will talk about two different species in this genus.
Cepaea snails have a long history in Europe. And to classify them is not easy.
Translated in Chinese,they are named as scallion snail. It is funny when scallion is widely used in chinese cuisine, and this snails actually have nothing to do with scallion.
Jokingly, Netizens often ask me “neng hao zen”.(a chinese internet slang, short for: Are they edible? Are they delicious? How to eat them?)
The Chinese name of Cepaea hortensis (O. F. Müller, 1774) is Garden Scallion snail. The next is Cepaea nemoralis(Linnaeus ,1758) ,it has very different names in Chinese. Shell traders call it more-bands snail. And Hongkong pet traders call it exactly as its pronunciation . They trader often claimed that Cepaea nemoralis are precious protected species. And then ask for a high perice(take care!). Now there are more and more scallion snails in China.And I think it’s better to call them bush scallion snail .As they are named grove snail in English .
According to early documents ,Cepaea hortensis (O. F. Müller, 1774) mainly lives in western and mitteleuropa .Recently ,I found it in Taiwan from visitors’ photos .
In China ,it may be worse because this years Cepaea snails are nearly everywhere. I do concern about biological invasion. And a guy even told me that white Achatina Fulica is not Invasive species. There is also a large group of onlookers claiming they are so cute and adorable,seemingly do not care about biological invasion crisis at all.
Well,what is the difference between this two too cute snails?We can get answers from local language.One is called grown-lipped snail ,another is white-lipped snail .Funnily, the lip is very interesting .
