Type material.

It is known that Westerlund often distributed parts of the type series of taxa described by him among several European museums ( Vinarski et al. 2013), therefore in many cases the syntypes of the same species or variety are kept now in more than one repository. I managed to find syntypes of Limnaea ovata var. amnicola in NMG (accession number 3727), ZIN (accession number 1) and ZMB (three syntypes kept under No. 49530). The lectotype was not designated.

Type locality.

Ronneby and Kristianstad, Sweden ( Westerlund 1890).

Current taxonomic allocation.

An obvious junior synonym of Radix (Peregriana) balthica (L., 1758).
