## Species

Species within the genus *Anodontoides*:[2]

*Andontoides ferussacianus*, the cylindrical papershell, can be found in the [Mississippi River](/source/Mississippi_River), [St. Lawrence River](/source/Saint_Lawrence_River) and [Great Lakes](/source/Great_Lakes) in shallow freshwater. They are found as far south as [Tennessee](/source/Tennessee) and [Arkansas](/source/Arkansas), west to [Colorado](/source/Colorado), and north to [Manitoba](/source/Manitoba).[4] *Anodontides radiatus* has been found in the [Gulf of Mexico](/source/Gulf_of_Mexico) drainages and parts of western [Florida](/source/Florida) and southern [Louisiana](/source/Louisiana).[5]

*Anodontoides denigratus*[2] or *Anodontoides denigrata*, the Cumberland papershell, is restricted to the upper [Cumberland River](/source/Cumberland_River) basin in [Kentucky](/source/Kentucky) and Tennessee and is designated as "critically imperiled" by [NatureServe](/source/NatureServe).[6]

## Reproduction
