Galba oblonga (Puton, 1847)

Distribution. The species is recorded in 6 localities: 6, 25, 34, 53, 55 and 59 ( fig. 1 , table 1 ). According to Stadnichenko and Gyrin (2011), and newly-obtained data it might be suggested that G. oblonga is a species rarely occurred in the Transcarpathian. In Ukraine it is known also from the Forest-Steppe and the Carpathian regions (Anistratenko, Сhernogorenko, 1989; Stadnichenko, 2004).

Remarks. In the Transcarpathian G. oblonga inhabits hard substrates in shoreline zone of stagnant and low-flowing reservoirs from 100 up to 810 m a. s. l. (table 2). The shell of this (morpho)species differs from the G. truncatula by the turriculate shell shape and oblong and narrow spire; shell image is given in Anistratenko et al. (2018: fig. 3 , F).
