(2003)
AbstractAnatomical evidence is presented to confirm that the taxon formerly regarded as Lymnaea palustris (Muller, 1774) includes a second British species, L. (Stagnicola) fuscus (C. Pfeiffer, 1821). The two species are assigned to the genus Stagnicola, (Jeffreys, 1830), as currently accepted by modern continental authorities. Keywords
Lymnaea palustris, L. (Stagnicola) fuscus, British species.
