Notes
Gassies (1867: 128, Pl 1 Fig. 5) described Limnaea glabra var. D reticulata of "laques clayonnées près l'étang de Cazau" in the Landes, but that name seems forgotten by subsequently, especially by Germain (1931) or by Falkner et al. (2002). Omphiscola reticulata (Gassies, 1867) reappears as a valid species in Fauna Europaea v2.3. However, we found no references for such revalidation (V. Prie, pers. comm. , 2010). At present there is no distributional data in France, as it is currently treated as as synonym of O. glabra (O. F. Müller, 1774). [1].
