Geographic Coverage
We examined 98 specimens, 17 occurrences from nine localities.
| Bounding Coordinates | South West [34.44, 135.55], North East [36.85, 140.73] |
|---|
Sampling Methods
The authors manually explored the museum's collections from the relevant range with the help of the curator, as the Iwakawa's collection was not fully organized.
| Study Extent | Our investigation was conducted on Viviparus sclateri in the Iwakawa's collection preserved in the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo. |

Method step description:
- The locality information of specimens was obtained from the labels with the specimens. The Iwakawa's list (Iwakawa, 1919) was also consulted when necessary.
- Each specimen was examined and re-identified by the author based on the diagnostic characteristics. In particular, the original descriptions of Japanese viviparid species and following references provided principal criteria for comparison and identification: Annandale (1921), Okada and Kurasawa 1950, Habe 1973, Masuda and Uchiyama (2004), Kihira et al. (2009), Hirano et al. (2015), Hirano et al. (2019a) and Hirano et al. (2019b).
