Description

Helobdella stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758)

New records: Cetinje, River Crnojevića, stillwater channel near River Crnojevića, 42°21'17.78"N, 19°1'11.14"E, 9.viii.2006, Pešić & Grosser, 2 specimens; Durmitor Mt., little stream and pool near Crno Jezero (Black Lake), 43° 9'6.87"N, 19° 6'6.89"E, 11.viii.2006 Pešić & Grosser, 4 specimens; Šavnik, Pošćenjsko Lake, 42°58'54.10"N, 19° 4'4.49"N, 14.ix.2012, Pešić, 9 specimens.

Remarks: New for Montenegro.

Distribution

Remarks: This species was subdivided in the past in three varieties, recently regarded as separate species within the genus Alboglossiphonia: A. heteroclita (Linnaeus, 1761) (syn. G. h. var. papillosa (Braun, 1805)), A. hyalina (O. F. Müller, 1774) and A. striata (Apáthy, 1888).

Alboglossiphonia heteroclita was reported from Skadar Lake and a spring in Pljevlja (Blanchard 1905, Sket 1968, respectively) but without information which variety they found. Therefore, we can not assign their findings of G. heteroclita to any of the aforementioned Alboglossiphonia ­ species.

Distribution: Holarctic.
