Aegopinella nitidula (Draparnaud, 1805) (Gastropoda: Zonitidae) in British Columbia - first confirmed North American record (2001)
Authors
Abstract
The European land snail, Aegopinella nitidula (Drapamaud, 1805), is reported for the first time from British Columbia, from three sites in the city of Vancouver. These new records are the only documentation of the species in North America, except for two old records that are probably erroneous and have been ignored in recent literature. Comparisons are made between A. nitidula and similar native and introduced species. Information about its ecology in Europe is summarized.
