Check-list and distribution maps of the molluscs of the Czech and Slovak Republics

The U Výpustku Nature Reserve is located in the central part of the Moravian Karst PLA near the Křtiny Town. The reserve is predominantly forested area with multitude of karst features, such as caves and sinkholes. The valley was shaped in devonian limestones by the Křtinský potok Brook during the Quaternary. In total, 73 species of terrestrial gastropods were recorded (43% of the 171 species occurring in the Czech Republic), seven of which are included in the Red List of threatened species in the Czech Republic and 13 were newly recorded for the area. The majority of the recorded species (43; 59%) are forest dwellers, followed by euryvalent species (13; 18%). The proportion of open-country species is lower: sun-lit rock and steppe (5; 7%), silviphobic (3; 4%), dry-habitat (2; 3%), hygrophilous (4; 6%) and wetland (2; 3%). Among the recorded taxa, there are several rare and sensitive species reflecting the well-preserved state and biological value of the studied area, e.g. Daudebardia brevipes (VU), Ruthenica filograna, Truncatellina claustralis (VU), Chondrina arcadica clienta (NT) and Granaria frumentum (NT). Synanthropic (Arion distinctus, Deroceras reticulatum) and invasive (Arion vulgaris) species were recorded for the first time in the reserve, suggesting their current spread.

“…Druhy, k jejichž určení je potřeba pitva, byly nejprve utopeny v perlivé vodě a následně uloženy do etanolu a určeni pod binokulární lupou. Měkkýši byli určováni podle práce Horsák et al (2013) a nomenklatura je upravena podle Horsák et al (2020). Kategorie ohroženosti druhů odpovídají aktuálnímu Červenému seznamu (Beran et al 2017).…”

The Draplavý Nature Reserve is located in the northeastern part of the Beskydy PLA, near the Staré Hamry Town. The subject of protection is a gulch eroded in mostly calcium-rich flysch bedrock by the Draplavý Brook, where the tree composition is rather natural, while in the surroundings a spruce monoculture is present. During the survey in 2020, 32 species were recorded (31 terrestrial and 1 aquatic). In total, 36 species (35 terrestrial and 1 aquatic) are known from the area. The species composition consisted predominantly of forest dwellers (27; 75%), followed by euryoecious (4; 11%), hygrophilous (4; 11%) and aquatic (1; 3%) species. The most remarkable species are Daudebardia brevipes (VU), Vitrea transsylvanica (VU), and Macrogastra tumida, although all mentioned taxa occur in very low abundances.

“…(Gray, 1843) This gastropod is native to New Zealand. Its occurrence in the Czech Republic has been known since 1981 (Kuchař 1983) and currently it inhabits extensive part of the Czech Republic (Lorencová et al 2015) and southwestern part of Slovakia (Horsák, Čejka et al 2020). Many new sites were discovered during 2015-2019; only the more notable records outside of its known range are shown in Table 1.…”

“…The last comprehensive monograph commenting all known species of the Czech and Slovak fauna was published in 2013 (Horsák et al 2013). Since then, changes in nomenclature and national Check-lists are monitored and provided in an online check-list (Horsák, Čejka et al 2020). This paper primarily focus on faunistic news conducted between 2015-2019, but including also some important news from 2013-2014.…”

Since the last comprehensive overview of the Czech and Slovak mollusc fauna, released in 2013, several records of species new for the countries or particular regions have appeared. In this paper, we summarize all such records and news collected in 2015–2019, including those affecting nomenclature and the national Check-lists made in 2013 and 2014. The rules for the selection of the records are: (i) the first record in Bohemia, Moravia or Slovakia, (ii) regionally important new records, (iii) records of species listed in NATURA 2000 and the national Red-lists as either critically endangered or endangered species, and (iv) currently spreading non-native species. New records are briefly commented and summarized for each species separately. Location data are published with all details in a supplementary table and are freely accessible.
