The mud elimia, scientific name Pleurocera alabamensis, is a species of freshwater snail with a gill and an operculum, an gastropod mollusk in the family Pleuroceridae. This species is endemic to the United States.
This species was known as Elimia alabamensis up to 2011, when Dillon (2011)[2] synonymized Elimia with the genus Pleurocera.[2]
