Acroloxus egirdirensis is a species of very small freshwater snail, which because of their shape are known as limpets, aquatic pulmonate gastropods in the family Acroloxidae.

Distribution

This freshwater limpet species is endemic to Lake Eğirdir in Turkey. It is found in the shallow waters along the north side of the lake.

Threats

The survival of this species is threatened by the accumulation of pesticides in the lake from surrounding orchards, as well as by soil erosion leading to siltation.
