KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
The predatory snail Aegopinella nitidula (Drap.) (Zonitidae) can perforate a rather thick shell and extract from it even a strongly contracted snail body. Numerous empty shells of Perforatella bidentata (Gmel.) with a characteristic hole, found in the wild, indicate that this species often falls a prey to Ae. nitidula.
