42. Stagnicola turricula ( Held, 1836)

Findings in Serbia.

Stagnicola turricula : Karaman (2001); Karaman & Karaman (2007).

Common name. Slender pond snail.

Morphology: Medium-sized snails (elongated conical shell up to 17 mm long/high). Shell with 6–7 convex whorls and deep suture. For more details see Glöer (2019: 232, fig. 289).

Distribution and ecology. Danuban species. Prefers standing waters. Scarce findings in Serbia are limited to Obedska bara Wetland, and ponds in Dolovo and near the Tamiš River (Pančevo Municipality).

Other remarks. The species sometimes is stated as conspecific with Stagnicola palustris , yet based on their anatomical differences, it can be regarded as a valid species ( Glöer 2019). Genetic data should shed more light on those interspecific relations. On the IUCN Red List of threatened species it has been assessed as LC ( Kebapçý & Van Damme 2011 b).
