[2][3][4] Galba neotropica is the vector typically responsible for fascioliasis (liver fluke) livestock infection.

[5] Galba neotropica was originally described from Lima, Peru and surroundings;[1] it appears to be a species restricted to South America, but with a very broad geographical distribution from Argentina in the Southern Cone north to Venezuela.

[5] In the radula, the first bilateral teeth are bicuspid but occasionally they are tricuspid or rarely quadricuspid.

[5] The habitat of Galba neotropica rarely[5] also includes artificial water bodies.
