The specific name spiridonovi is apparently in honour of Croatian malacologist Spiridon Brusina.

Distribution

The type locality of this species is near the village of Kirovo, in the basin of the Bidzan River in Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Khabarovsky District, Russia.[3]

The species is also found in the Illistaya River and the Arsenjevka river (Primorsky Krai).[4]

Parasites

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the first intermediate host for the trematode Notocotylus intestinalis (natural infection).[4]

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as an intermediate host for the trematode Psilotrema acutilostris.[5]

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the first intermediate host for the trematode Holostephanus nipponicus (experimental infection)[6] and for Echinochasmus spinosus (experimental infection).[7]

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the second intermediate host for the trematode Sphaeridiotrema monorchis (experimental infection).[8]

gollark: Yes, perhaps.
gollark: You can't even make macron.
gollark: Perhaps heavserver could propagate this way.
gollark: Yes, seems good. With slowmode.
gollark: <50KB is… probably fine.
