Method Notes:
In April 2013, the family Veronicellidae, a target on the 2013 and 2014 AHP Prioritized Pest Lists, was broken down into six genera of concern. When conducting a general mollusk survey, if samples are negative for Veronicellidae, then negative data may be reported for each of these six genera: Belocaulus, Colosius, Laevicaulis, Sarasinula, Semperula, and Veronicella. All positives must be reported at the species level.
