Radix

(Schrank, 1803)

Records from Iran.

Qom, Tehran and Gilan Provinces (Martens 1874); Kerman Province (Biggs 1937).

Remarks.

This species has been described from the Danube (Germany) and most probably does not occur in Iran. According to Subba Rao (1989) Radix lagotis is a synonym of Radix peregra (syn. to Radix labiata). However, recently Schniebs et al. (2011) clearly showed that Radix lagotis and Radix labiata are distinct species.

Distribution.

Europe.
