''Lymnaea meridensis'' is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails. This species appears to be endemic to very high altitudes.〔 This species belong to the ''Galba''/''Fossaria'' group,〔 therefore this species should be named ''Galba meridensis''. cf.〔〔Bargues M. D., Artigas P., Khoubbane M., Flores R., Glöer P., et al. (2011). "''Lymnaea schirazensis'', an Overlooked Snail Distorting Fascioliasis Data: Genotype, Phenotype, Ecology, Worldwide Spread, Susceptibility, Applicability". ''PLoS ONE'' 6(9): e24567. .〕 == Distribution == According to the 2011 knowledge of the distribution of this species, and in contrast to the widespread species ''Galba cousini'', ''Lymnaea meridensis'' appears to be a geographically restricted species. This seems to suggest that ''Lymnaea meridensis'' evolved in a somewhat isolated fashion, in permanent ponds and small ditches in more northern, very high altitude areas (3,550-4,040 m) of the Andean mountains, like those in Merida State, Venezuela.〔 The type locality of ''Lymnaea meridensis'' is a permanent pond in Mucubaji (Kettle Mucubají), Merida State, Venezuela, located at an altitude of 3,550 m (8°47'51.8" N, 70°49'32.4" W).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lymnaea meridensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
