Synonyms[1] | |
Limnaeus fuscus Pfeiffer, 1821 |
Stagnicola fuscus[1][3][4] is a species of freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails.
Correa et al. (2010)[5] proposed that species of clade C2 (including Stagnicola fuscus) should all be called Lymnaea, according to the principle of priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).[5] Then this species would be named Lymnaea fusca Pfeiffer, 1821.
Distribution
This species is found in the Czech Republic (in Bohemia only),[6][3] Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, Croatia[7] and other areas.
Description
The 10-25 × 6-12 mm shell is slender with the whorls often not very convex and nearly always with flat sutures. It is brown, irregularly striated (surface ornamented with strong spiral striae which cross-cut the radial growth striae - this can lead to the development of quadrate plates) and the apertural height is about 50 % of the shell height. The umbilicus is closed.[4]
Biotope
This snail lives in bodies of freshwater.
