Radix
(
Peregriana
)
intermedia
(Lamarck, 1822)
Distribution. This is one of the widespread pond snails in Forest-Steppe and Polissia zones of
Ukraine
(
Stadnichenko, 2004
) as well as in the Transcarpathian region (
Stadnichenko, Gyrin, 2011 a
;
Anistratenko et al., 2018
). General distribution — Palearctic (
Vinarski, Kantor, 2016
).
Remarks. Shell of specimen from the
Transcarpathia
is illustrated by
Anistratenko et al. (2018
:
fig. 3
, N). In the
Transcarpathia
this species is the common snail inhabiting shallow zone of rivers and canals up to
500 m
a. s. l. mostly associating with macrophytes; it also occurs in small natural or even artificial ponds: localities 3, 6, 12, 15, 16, 19, 27, 30, 44 and 46 (
fig. 1
). Environmental conditions for the recorded populations of
R. intermedia
are presented in
tables 1
and 2. This species shows close resemblance to
R. balthica
and can be distinguished from the latter by its higher spire and more oblong shell. The validity of name
R. intermedia
is accepted in Russian literature (e. g.
Kruglov, 2005
), while the Western European malacologists usually consider it as a synonym of
R. balthica
.
