Description The shell biometry of representatives of the crenobiotic genus Alzoniella from selected Czech and Slovak sites was analyzed. Analysis of the shell biometry revealed that it was not possible to discriminate particular populations based on only the shell biometry characters that had been used to describe the taxa. The authors suggest using the name Alzoniella slovenica (Ložek et Brtek, 1964) concerning all the Czech and Slovak populations and to consider all the subsequently described taxa from the study area (A. alticola, A. bojnicensis, A. kalasi, A. slovenica komenskyi) as synonyms of A. slovenica.
