Omphiscola glabra (Müller, 1774) (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae) en la Península Ibérica

Omphiscola glabra (Müller, 1774) is a freshwater gastropod of the Lymnaeidae family that has remained unknown among the Spanish malacological fauna until, due to a recent review of the malacological collections of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid, we have discovered several historical lots from the north of the Iberian Peninsula. These same lots were already studied by ÁLVAREZ (1965), but the resulting publication, describing the presence of this species in Spain and its conchological variability, has gone unnoticed by researchers. This work confirms the presence in Spain of O. glabra and expands the distribution area of the species in Europe. This work constitutes a first starting point for the study of this species in the Iberian Peninsula and its future cataloguing as a protected species.
