Description

Lymnaea fragilis (Linnaeus, 1758)

(Fig. 3, B)

Distribution: The species is recorded in the localities 7, 11 and 17 (Table 1). In Ukraine the species is registered in all regions including the Transcarpathian (Stadnichenko 2004: Stadnichenko & Gyrin 2011). General distribution covers Western and Central Europe.

Remarks: In the Transcarpathian this species occurs sporadically, inhabits mainly natural and artificial ponds, associated with macrophytes at depths of 0.5–1.0 m.

Though genetic studies (e.g. Mezhzherin et al. 2008; Vinarski et al. 2012a) did not reveal any reliable genetic traits distinguishing „ stagnalis " and „ fragilis’ we treat these forms as two conchologically separated “morphospecies”. The proper status of L. fragilis is to be clarified by means of the integrative taxonomic approach.
