During the investigations, A.holandrii was recorded at 71 sampling sites located at 48 rivers. According to our data, the species is widely distributed within the investigated area. It was found to be the dominant snail species in the Drina River and some smaller rivers, while in the Danube the species was found to be rare and situated in a short stretch. As a widely distributed and frequent taxa in running waters situated in the hilly regions of Serbia, the species is suitable to be used in water monitoring for a particular group of stream types. Thus, it is important to further investigate the environmental factors that influence the distribution ofA. holandrii to get more reliable information in order to include this species more effectively in a system of assessment of ecological status in the country. Keywords: Amphimelania holandrii, distribution, Serbia, field research Introduction In this paper we present data of the most recent distribution (in the period 2009-2012) of Amphimelania holandrii (C.Pfeiffer, 1828), syn.
