# Elimia

Elimia is a genus of freshwater snails in the family Pleuroceridae. Species of the genus are aquatic gastropod mollusks that have an operculum. Various species are found in creeks throughout much of the eastern and central United States and the Great Lakes region of Canada. Fossils have been found across the whole of the North American continent, including from the Paleocene of Mexico and the Eocene of California. They were formerly included in the genus Goniobasis, together with the western Juga species.
