TL.

Sweden, the Baltic Sea shore ( Linnaeus 1758). The locality of the neotype is "Sweden, Stockholm" (see Kruglov and Starobogatov 1983b for details).

Neotype.

ZISP (designated in Kruglov and Starobogatov 1983b).

This is one of the most common and widespread species of radicine snails in Europe ( Aksenova et al. 2018a). A single representative of the radicine pond snails was found in Iceland ( Bolotov et al. 2017). The species is common in various regions of the Northern Palearctic; distributed in Europe, Siberia and Central Asia ( Andreeva et al. 2010; Schniebs et al. 2011; Vinarski et al. 2017). A. balthica is characterised by a rather wide variation, both in conchological and anatomical traits (summarised in Schniebs et al. 2011). The taxonomic identity of this species is based on the neotype (illustrated in Schniebs et al. 2011, fig. 8).
