ABSTRACT
The population of Choanomphalus maacki Gersfeldt, 1859 that represents the thanatocoenosis of the eastern part of the Baikal Lake covers shells that are various shapes and sizes. Based upon biometrical and taxonomic analysis, four morphologic types of the species are distinguished. They correspond to the varieties described upon a basis of characters of individual, big specimens, the dimensions of which have been two times bigger than the mean values. The distinction of the morphologic types is due to particular environmental conditions.
