Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758)

( Fig. 3 , A)

Distribution: The species is one of the most common and widespread pond snails in the region – we found its populations in eight localities ( Table 1). In Ukraine the species is registered in all regions (e.g. Stadnichenko 2004) being recently recorded also in Transcarpathian ( Stadnichenko & Gyrin 2011; Anistratenko et al. 2017). General distribution covers almost all Eurasia (excepting of southern latitudes) as well as North America ( Hubendick 1951; Kruglov 2005).

Remarks: In the Transcarpathian region this species inhabits shallow zone of rivers, former riverbeds, natural ponds and lakes; it is associated mostly with macrophytes at depths of 0.5–1.0 m.
