Tanganyicia is a genus of tropical freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Paludomidae.^[4]

Before 2002 this genus was placed within the family Thiaridae.

Species

Brown (1994)^[5] considered Tanganyicia rufofilosa a very variable species and the only species within the genus Tanganyicia.^[5] Later, in 1999, another species was described.

Species within the genus Tanganyicia include:

Tanganyicia michelae (West, 1999)^[6]
Tanganyicia rufofilosa (Smith, 1880) - type species^[5]
