Stagnicola elrodi Baker and Henderson 1933: 30.

Type material.

ZMB collection possesses two syntypes kept under No. 90525. Other syntypes are in the University of Illinois Museum of Natural History (No. Z33780) and the University of Colorado Museum (No. 19134) [fide Baker and Henderson 1933].

Type locality.

USA, Montana, west shore Flathead Lake, 13 1/2 miles north of Poison.

The largest ZMB syntype dimensions.

WN 5.25; SH 16.3; SW 8.6; SpH 7.6; BWH 13.2; AH 10.2; SW 5.8.

Current taxonomic allocation.

Hubendick (1951) identified Stagnicola elrodi with Lymnaea emarginata (Say, 1821). It should be noted, however, the ZMB syntypes resemble closely a subadult shell of the Holarctic Lymnaea stagnalis .
