TL.
Switzerland (
Studer 1820
).
Lectotype.
Naturhistorisches Museum der Burgergemeinde Bern, Switzerland (see
Forcart 1957
).
Shell ovate-conical, with prominent, but relatively-low spire and moderately-inflated body whorl. Praeputium and penis sheath light-coloured, their lengths are almost equal, though the praeputium is typically slightly longer (see Fig.
8D
). The mean values of ICA slightly exceed 1.0 (
Kruglov 2005
; see also Table
2
). According to genetic data,
A. fontinalis
is distributed in Europe, from Switzerland eastward to south of the European Russia, as well as in Turkey (
Aksenova et al. 2018a
). The previous recordings of this species from the Urals and Siberia (
Kruglov and Starobogatov 1993b
;
Khokhutkin et al. 2009
;
Andreeva et al. 2010
) require molecular confirmation.
Taxonomic remark.
This European species of radicine snails was not listed as valid by most authors (
Hubendick 1951
;
Gloeer
2002
;
Welter-Schultes 2012
), except by the Russian malacologists (
Kruglov and Starobogatov 1983b
,
1993b
;
Khokhutkin et al. 2009
;
Andreeva et al. 2010
).
Aksenova et al. (2018a)
have shown that specimens identified as
Lymnaea (Peregriana) fontinalis
sensu Kruglov & Starobogatov, 1993 form a species-rank clade, sister to
A. lagotis
. Shells of
A. fontinalis
sensu
Kruglov and Starobogatov (1993b)
, studied by us, were similar to the lectotype shell illustrated by
Forcart (1957)
[see Fig.
7G, H
]. The presence of
A. fontinalis
in Switzerland (where its type locality lies) has been confirmed molecularly (Aksenova et al. 2018). This species is morphologically similar to
A. lagotis
, but may be distinguished by a lower spire and more inflated body whorl.
