Stagnicola palustris (O.F. Muller, 1774) Findings in Serbia . Lymnaea ( Stagnicola ) palustris : Karaman (2001). Stagnicola palustris palustris : Karaman & Karaman (2007) . Stagnicola palustris : Frank et al. (1990) ; Savić et al. (2016) . Common name . Common European pond snail, common pond snail, marsh snail. Morphology . Medium-sized snails (elongated conical shell up to 20 mm long/high). Shell is brownish with 4.5–6 whorls. Animal is dark with golden spots. For more details see Welter-Schultes (2012: 55 , figure in the middle of the page). Distribution and ecology . Holarctic species up to 1800 m .a.s.l (in Serbia up to 300 m . a.s.l). Muddy bottoms with plenty of vegetation in slow–flowing or stagnant lowland waters are its main habitats ( Beran 2008 ; Welter-Schultes 2012). In Serbia , it was found in Danube, Sava and Nišava Rivers, canals in Vojvodina, Obedska bara and Zasavica Wetlands, and in Ludaš Lake. Other remarks . The snail can be amphibious at times, and it is the only representative of this genus which could be occasionally found in the mud outside of the water (above the water level) ( Welter-Schultes 2012 ). On the IUCN Red List it has been assessed as LC ( von Proschwitz, 2011 b ).
