Three species of non-marine snails (Georissa subglabrata Möllendorff, 1887, G. regularis Quadras & Möllendorff, 1895, and G. turritella Möllendorff, 1893) and one subspecies (G. subglabrata cebuensis Möllendorff, 1887) from the Philippines are reassigned from Georissa Blanford 1864 (Hydrocenidae Troschel, 1857) to Acmella Blanford, 1869 (Assimineidae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1856) based on shell characters.
