Koreoleptoxis amurensis is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Semisulcospiridae.

Taxonomy

Strong et al. (2009)[5] and Kantor et al. (2010) classified this species in the genus "Parajuga" Prozorova et Starobogatov, 2003; however Parajuga is not available name.[4]

Distribution

This species occurs in rivers of the Amur River basin.[4]

The type locality is "im Amur, im mittleren Laufe und einem Theile des unteren dieses Stromes".[4]

Ecology

Koreoleptoxis amurensis serves as the first intermediate host for Clonorchis sinensis in China[6] and as the first intermediate host of Paragonimus westermani.[7]
