Pomacea scalaris is a species of freshwater snail of the Ampullariidae ("apple snails") family. It was described by Alcide d'Orbigny in 1835.^[1]^[2] It is found in Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Brasil, and Uruguay.^[3] It is invasive in Taiwan. First documented in 1989, it was possibly introduced alongside Pomacea canaliculata illegally brought to the country for aquaculture.^[4]

Pomacea scalaris can grow to a shell length of at least 31 mm (1.2 in).^[4]
