Habitats: Glossiphonia nebulosa is considered typical of running waters, but some of the records are from ponds at middle and higher elevations (about 600 m a.s.l.). Its ecological valences are probably broader than have been documented to date.

Status: Prior to this study, Glossiphonia nebulosa had been recorded only from two localities in the southernmost part of the country ( Košel 1999a); more recently, this species has been reported as a common species from additional localities in both Bohemia and Moravia. Most of localities are situated in southern Moravia (Dyje (Thaya), Svratka, and Jihlava River basins) and middle Bohemia (Labe (Elbe), Vltava, and Ohře River basins); no records have yet been reported from the southwestern part of the country. The species was probably overlooked in previous studies, and perhaps may have been confused with or misidentified as G. complanata in past studies.
