Caldicochlea globosa is a species of freshwater mollusc in the family, Tateidae, [2] [3] endemic to the Dalhousie Springs of the Great Artesian Basin.[4] The species was first described in 1996 as Dalhousia globosa by Winston Ponder, Donald Colgan, T. Terzis, Stephanie Clark and Alison Miller.[3][5] However, the genus name of Dalhousia had already been used, and thus in 1997, Ponder published the replacement genus name of Caldicochlea.[6]
The snails are tiny (adults from 3-4.6mm) and vary highly in shell shape, making them hard to distinguish on shell morphology from C. harrisi, but C. globosa is usually bigger and more globe shaped.[4]
These snails are found in large warm pools or warm outflows at temperatures from 33-42°C.[4]
