Taxonomy
Gastropoda · Planorbidae · Gyraulus

The gastropod

It was first described by Polinski in 1929.

Gastropods are snails and slugs. The animal is the soft body; the shell, when present, is grown, not worn like a stone.

Range and habitat

Gyraulus trapezoides is recorded from North Macedonia.

GBIF currently lists 14 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Diet

Snails move on a single foot and feed with a rasping tongue. Island and spring species rarely recolonise once the site is emptied.
