Taxonomy
There is much confusion regarding the taxonomic status of Ladislavella bonnevillensis, and this species is thought to be synonmous with Ladislavella utahensis and Stagnicola utahensis (Clarke 1991, Hovingh 1998). Additional taxonomic work is needed to correctly define and delineate this species.
