This species is generally similar in external shell morphology to Euglesa casertana. Typical shell dimensions are 4.2–4.5 mm length, 3.5–3.8 mm height, and 2.6–2.8 mm depth. For more details see Welter-Schultes (2012: 19). Distribution and ecology. Palearctic species commonly found in the littoral zone of small ponds and lakes, floodplains of large lowland rivers. It prefers shallow habitats with a fine substrate (Moorkens & Killeen 2009). In Serbia, it was recorded only in two springs near Peć (KiM). Other remarks. Some authors regarded it as a variety/subspecies of E. casertana (Killeen et al, 2004). On the IUCN Red List of threatened species it has been assessed as LC (Killeen & Seddon. 2011 c).
