Description

Lampetra planeri (Bloch, 1784)

Vernacular names

Potočna paklara. European brook lamprey.

Previous names used for the species

Petromyzon planeri Bloch, 1784.

Remarks

Reports on its occurrence in BiH appear to be wrong identification of specimens (Tutman et al. 2020a). It is unlikely that Lampetra planeri inhabits BiH because its distribution range is restricted to northern and western Europe, with isolated populations in the western Mediterranean (Kottelat & Freyhof 2007). Previous reports from the Adriatic Basin in BiH (Vuković 1963a, 1977a; Sofradžija 2009) are most likely related to L. soljani (Tutman et al. 2017a), while those from Danube Basin (Vuković 1963a, 1977a; Kosorić 1976; Sofradžija 2009) are likely misindentifications of E. vladykovi. Therefore, it is not included in the checklist.

Literature

See Eudontomyzon vladykovi and Lampetra soljani.
