Holotype.

ZISP (see Sitnikova et al. 2014).

A species characterised by a broad shell with well-developed aperture, relatively-low spire and inflated body whorl. Its range covers European North of Russia and Eastern Europe ( Aksenova et al. 2018a). Anistratenko et al. (2018) mentioned it (as Radix tumida ) from the Western Ukraine. Specimens, morphogically identified as R. tumida , are known from the Urals, Western and Eastern Siberia ( Gundrizer 1984; Kruglov 2005; Khokhutkin et al. 2009; Andreeva et al. 2010).

Conchologically, A. dipkunensis resembles A. ampla , but differs from the latter by a slightly higher spire and less inflated aperture. Besides, Kruglov (2005) reported some differences in the proportions of the copulatory organs of these two snails. As was stated above, the penis sheath in A. ampla is slightly longer than the praeputium, whereas, in A. dipkunensis , one may observe an opposite state. According to Kruglov (2005), the praeputium of R. tumida is around 1.7 times longer than the penis sheath. In a sample containing 103 specimens of this species, collected from four localities in Russia, the mean ICA value was 1.84 ± 0.22 (limits of variation: 1.37-2.44) [Vinarski, unpublished data].

Taxonomic remark.

Aksenova et al. (2018a) genetically studied some specimens of radicine snails identified as Lymnaea (Peregriana) tumida Held, 1836 sensu Kruglov and Starobogatov (1983b, 1993b) and showed that it is a valid species, distinct from A. ampla . However, to use this species name is hardly acceptable. This taxon is usually considered as an intraspecific morph of Radix auricularia living in large Alpine lakes ( Geyer 1927; Glöer 2002). Examination of the topotypes (dried shells) of L. tumida , kept in different European museums (NHMW, NMG, ZMUC), allowed Aksenova et al. (2018a) to agree with this opinion. Therefore, the authors used the next oldest available name, Lymnaea dipkunensis Gundrizer et Starobogatov, 1979, to designate this clade. The identity of this taxon was revealed by means of the inspection of the type series (see also Sitnikova et al. 2014). The records of Lymnaea tumida sensu Kruglov and Starobogatov in the Lower Yenissei Basin ( Gundrizer 1984), the type region of L. dipkunensis , give indirect evidence in favour of their identity. However, this taxonomic hypothesis is in need of future integrative research using the topotypes of L. dipkunensis .
