Kieperssoppisella

Kieperssoppisella is a genus of small, often minute, freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Hydrobiidae. The genus was named in honor of the German malacologist Karl Kieperss. Species within this genus are typically found in freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. They are characterized by their small size, usually less than 2 mm in length, and their smooth, rounded shells. Kieperssoppisella species are often found in association with other freshwater mollusks and are known for their ability to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions. The genus includes several species, each with its own unique morphological and ecological characteristics. Despite their small size, Kieperssoppisella species play an important role in freshwater ecosystems, contributing to the cycling of nutrients and the overall health of their habitats.
