Description

Radix (Peregriana) ampullacea (Rossmässler, 1835)

Distribution. The species is only found in three localities (2, 15 and 44, see fig. 1, table 1) in the Transcarpathian Region. In Ukraine R. ampullacea inhabits all regions (Anistratenko, Сhernogorenko, 1989; Stadnichenko, 2004). General distribution — Europe and Siberia (Vinarski, Kantor, 2016).

Remarks. The Transcarpathian populations of the species are characterized by low density; the snails occur here only in rivers or, rarely, in streams from 110 up to 200 m a. s. l. (table 2) at depths up to 0.5 m. Some malacologists (e. g. Glöer, 2002; Welter-Schultes, 2012) do not recognize R. ampullacea as a valid species name considering it as a synonym of R. balthica. However some others (e. g. Сhernogorenko, 1989; Stadnichenko, 2004) define this taxon as a distinct species having almost spheroid shell and very low spire; the body whorl is much more inflated in comparison to R. balthica — compare shell images given in Anistratenko et al. (2018). Its identity needs to be verified with using of molecular data.
