Indoplanorbis is a genus of air-breathing freshwater snails. They are aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the ram's horn snails family Bulinidae. The only extant species is widely distributed across the tropics and serves as an important intermediate host for several trematode parasites. The invasive nature and ecological tolerance of Indoplanorbis exustus add to its importance in veterinary and medical science.
