Planorbarius arabatzis is a species of planorbid snail endemic to the Great Prespa Lake in the Balkans.[1][2]
Planorbarius arabatzis was originally described as Planorbarius corneus arabatzis, a subspecies of Planorbarius corneus. It was named after Vasilis Arabatzis, who was a friend of the original authors.[1] It is unclear if P. arabatzis is a separate species from P. corneus.[2][3]
