Galba schirazensis[2] is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails.
The specific name schirazensis is according to the Iranian city Shiraz, that is its type locality.
The morphological, anatomical and phylogenetic analyses performed by Bargues et al. (2011)[3] confirmed, that this species belong to the Galba/Fossaria group.[3]
Distribution
The distribution of includes:
- Fars Province and Gilan Province in Iran[2]
- Mediterranean[2]
