Contribution to the knowledge of terrestrial molluscs in southeastern Ukraine

Abstract

Records of terrestrial molluscs collected in nine scattered sites in southeastern Ukraine are presented and discussed. The findings of non-native Helix lucorum and Lucilla singleyana are especially interesting. Coloration of H. lucorum in different parts of its range seems to be significantly different. A role of keel in species determination of collected Helicopsis sp. shells is discussed. Variability of Deroceras subagreste coloration is described. New data on a species composition of terrestrial molluscs in several protected areas is given.
