Abstract The ultrastructure of Valvata piscinalis O. F. M ÜLLER , a mollusc collected from Lake Trichonis, Greece, is illustrated by SEM and compared with Polish specimens. The specific features observed are leading to the characterization of the specimens as an ecotype. The epizoic algal growths, ascertained by direct examination or scraped from shells of V. piscinalis , are commented.
