“…Th e species has also been recorded from Moldova and Russian Federation (Adamova et al, 2018). In Ukraine, the synantropic colonies of this snail have been recorded from settlements of the Poltava, Vinnitsa, and Zakarpattia Regions (Gural- Sverlova, Gural, 2017); the fi ndings of X. derbentina made outside of settlements are known chiefl y from the coastal zone lying south from 47° N.…”

“…Both B. cylindrica and X. derbentina have a great reproductive potential with similar quantitative characteristics (Kramarenko, 2002(Kramarenko, , 2013. In addition to their capability for active dispersal (Popov, Kramarenko, 2004;, both species demonstrate abilities for passive dispersal, mostly by means of anthropochory (Aubry et al, 2006;Kramarenko, 2014;Gural-Sverlova, Gural, 2017).…”

The cases of assortative mating are known in varied species of Gastropoda, however it is unclear how widely distributed this reproductive strategy is across the class. The data concerning land snails (Stylommatophora) are especially contradictory. By using two model species of stylommatophoran mollusks, Brephulopsis cylindrica (Menke, 1828) and Xeropicta derbentina (Krynicki, 1836), we conducted a long-term observation of their copulatory behavior in Southern Ukraine. In X. derbentina, a clear pattern of the positive assortative mating with respect to body size was found, whereas assortative mating in relation to shell banding polymorphism was revealed in 2 cases out of 7. B. cylindrica snails copulate with any available mate partner, regardless of its size.

“…Since the end of the 20th century, new alien species of land molluscs have been increasingly recorded in Western Ukraine, with their appearance being caused by human activities (Kirpan & Sverlova 2002, Gural-Sverlova & Savchuk 2019. The successful survival of species introduced from regions of warmer climate, in particular, from the south of Ukraine (Balashov et al 2018, Gural-Sverlova & Gural 2017a, 2020, Sverlova 1998, is also often observed. This can be facilitated by both the specific microclimate of urbanized biotopes, usually inhabited by such species, and global climate changes.…”

The first findings of Cornu aspersum in the Lviv region are described, including the shell size and shell colouration variability. A review of the known records of C. aspersum in different regions of Ukraine, from the second half of the 19th century to the present day, is also presented. The most probable ways of penetration and the possibility of further acclimatization of this species in Western Ukraine are discussed. The chronology of the records of introduced species of land molluscs in Western Ukraine is described in tabular form, which, to a large extent, should reflect the chronology of their penetration into this area. It is noted that the majority of alien species began to be found in Western Ukraine only at the end of the 20th or the beginning of the 21st century. Simultaneously several species appeared here, previously known only for the south of the country.

“…Gural-sVerloVa & Gural (2017) have shown that X. krynickii is more related to coastal habitats while deeper inland, X. derbentina is more common, though with some exceptions, as in the case of some larger rivers of the Black Sea basin. Our record of X. krynickii from Belgrade certainly belongs to more inland type of records.It is known that xerophilous snails can be agri-cultural pests (STojnić et al 2013) and intermediate hosts of important parasites of different vertebrates (anDerson 2000, meerBurG et al 2009, kuchBoeV et al 2012, GérarD et al 2020).…”

First record of the genus Xeropicta Monterosato, 1892 (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata: Geomitridae) in Serbia

Xeropicta Monterosato is a pulmonate xerophilous snail genus of the family Geomitridae. It is distributed in the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea region and also in Asia Minor, Ukraine, the Caucasus, the Middle East and Iran. No species of this genus was known from Serbia until now. Here, we present the first record of Xeropicta from Serbia. Morphological, anatomical and ecological characteristics of the species as well as its variation are discussed. Because of the wide shell variation, the analysed specimens were identified based on anatomy, and correspond to X. krynickii. However, in their shell morphology, some specimens resemble X. derbentina. Therefore, here they are treated as X. cf. krynickii. Further studies should shed more light on their identity.
