Galba oblonga (Puton, 1847)

( Fig. 3 , F)

Distribution: The species is only found in two localities, 4 and 18 ( Table 1); is has been recently mentioned by Stadnichenko & Gyrin (2011) as a species rarely occurred in the Transcarpathian. In Ukraine the species is known from the Forest-Steppe and the Carpathian regions ( Stadnichenko 2004). General distribution – Europe and Central Asia.

Remarks: In the Transcarpathian the species inhabits hard substrates in shoreline zone of lowland rivers up to 250 m a.s.l.

Taxonomic remarks: Conchologically this (morpho)species differs from the typical form ( Galba truncatula s. str.) by the turriculate shell shape and oblong and narrow spire.
