Synonyms

Planorbarius corneus, common name the great ramshorn, is a relatively large species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails, or planorbids, which all have sinistral or left-coiling shells.[3]

The shell of this species appears to be dextral in coiling, even though it is in fact sinistral or left-handed.
