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).
