Abstract

to now, 12 snail species 
have been determinted as a intermediate host (Helicella candicans, Helicopsis krynickii, Trochoidea pyramiadata,
Monacha carthusiana, Cochlicella acuta, Helicella itala, Cernuella virgata,
Helicopsis protea, Helicella obvia, Helix aspersa, Helix lucorum,  Chondrus tournefortianus)  in Turkey.

Unfortunately,
classification mistakes are made by the fact that the host, intermediate host
and parasites are from separate groups of animals. Particularly in relation to
intermediate hosts , these are:  Helicella candicans is synonim
of Xerolenta obvia. Probably the
researchers have noted snail belong to this species  from old and invalid literatures. Its same
for the Helicella obvia, its synonim
of the Xerolenta obvia. Helicopsis
krynickii, Its synonim of the Xeropicta
krynickii; Monacha carthusiana  is also synonim of  Monacha claustralis. Helicella
itala,  never has been found in Turkey.
Probably reason of only morphological description. Because this species
distributing in western Europe. 
Helicopsis
protea never has been found in Turkey.  Probably
reason of only morphological description. Helicella obvia is synonim of  Xerolenta
obvia.
