Juga silicula, common name glassy juga,[2] is a small, freshwater snail found lotic water in Washington, Oregon, and northern California. It is dark reddish-brown in color with an ovate operculum and about 3.5 whorls.[3]
Historically, J. silicula was abundant in its range.[4] It is currently considered a species of concern in Washington due to limited range, habitat degradation and anthropogenic factors.[5]
J. silicula acts as a first intermediate host for the trematode parasite Cephalouterina dicamptodoni.[4]
