Abstract
The history of the lymnaeid research, from the mid-sixteenth century to the present, is briefly outlined, with a special emphasis on the development of the systematics of this family and the studies of parasitological significance of the pond snails. An index to the lymnaeid literature published during the last 120 years, which includes references to the most important publications, is also provided.
