Pseudamnicola macrostoma is a species of very small freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Hydrobiidae.[1][2]
Subspecies
Two subspecies are recognised, the nominotypical P. m. subsp. macrostoma and P. m. subsp. negropontina, the latter being treated as a distinct species (Pseudamnicola negropontina) by some authors.[3][4]
Geographic distribution
P. macrostoma is endemic to Greece.[1][2] The species was originally described from a number of springs in the vicinity of Athens but was later also recorded from Evvia as well as several islands in the Aegean and Ionian seas.[1][4]
