Glossiphonia complanata Linnaeus 1758

Description

Glossiphonia complanata (Linnaeus, 1758)

Habitats and status: Glossiphonia complanata represents a widely distributed species recorded from all kinds of water bodies, stagnant as well as running, with the exception of fast flowing mountain rivers and brooks. It is common throughout the Czech Republic. In past studies, this species was likely confused with or misidentified as one or more other Glossiphonia species because of its variable coloration.
