  ABSTRACT
  Armiger crista (Linnaeus, 1758), a holartic freshwater gastropod, has been rediscovered in Algeria. It was found in a small lake whose malacofauna was almost exclusively paleartic/holartic. This aquatic environment is probably unique in the Maghreb, where cold-climate faunal elements are rapidly disappearing due to global warming. Monitoring of the site and study of other groups is highly recommended.
