Notes
This species is one of many small spring-snails that can be most easily identified using anatomical characters of the reproductive system . Shell characters are similar to those of Belgrandiella fuschi Boeters, 1970, B . wawrai Haase, 1996 and B. mimula Haase, 1996, so distribution records based on shells alone are questionable (Gloer 2002, p. 109), although B. wawrai Haase, 1996 and B. pelerei Haase, 1994 are not found in thermal spring sites.[1].
