Subspecies edit

 
Theliderma cylindrica cylindrica
 
Theliderma cylindrica strigillata

Two subspecies have been described. It is unclear whether they represent distinct evolutionary lineages, or are merely ecophenotypic variation which would not warrant any taxonomic status. A 2007 genetic study has cast doubt upon the validity of the existence of two subspecies.[citation needed]

  • Theliderma cylindrica cylindrica (Say, 1817) —
  • Theliderma cylindrica strigillata (Wright, 1898) — Rough rabbitsfoot, found only in the headwaters of the Tennessee River.

Conservation edit

Quadrula cylindrica cylindrica has been listed as an Endangered Species Act (ESA) threatened species of the United States since 2013.[4][5]Quadrula cylindrica strigillata has been listed as an ESA endangered species since 1997.[6][7]
