Melania buschiana Reeve, 1860 This species was established by Reeve (1860) based on material said to be from California. Carpenter (1872) included it on his list of mollusks from western North America and noted that it resembled the young of Melania scipio Gould, 1847. As noted by Graf (2001), Tryon (1873: 340) included it on his list of “Doubtful and Spurious Species” and considered it to be of East Indian provenance. Both species are now in the synonymy of Stenomelania aspirans (Hinds, 1844) (Thiaridae) (Starmühlner 1993). This species was omitted by Frest & Johannes (2010)., Published as part of Strong, Ellen E., Garner, Jeffrey T., Johnson, Paul D. & Whelan, Nathan V., 2022, A systematic revision of the genus Juga from fresh waters of the Pacific Northwest, USA (Cerithioidea, Semisulcospiridae), pp. 1-97 in European Journal of Taxonomy 848 on page 81, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.848.1993, http://zenodo.org/record/7427764, {"references":["Carpenter P.
