Terranigra kosovica Radoman, 1978, was known from four localities in Kosovo. The monotypic genus was described on the basis of genital morphology. We collected T. kosovica at a new locality, about 40 km from its type locality. The shell morphology, as well as the soft part morphology and anatomy were identical to that described by Radoman. The mole...

The minute valvatiform-shelled Hydrobiidae are less studied than other hydrobiid gastropods. In this paper, new data on these snails are presented, which have been collected at twelve springs in southern Greece: one in Boeotia, one on Evvoia Island, and ten on the Peloponnese Peninsula. Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear h...

Reviewing historical and recently collected material of family Aciculidae from Albania and the neighbouring region, we synonymized two species and one subspecies, namely Platyla corpulenta Subai, 2009 under Platyla procax Boeters, E. Gittenberger & Subai, 1989; Platyla ceraunorum A. Reischütz, N. Steiner-Reischütz & P. L. Reischütz, 2016 under Plat...

The Cuha Valley, a picturesque creek valley in Bakony Mountains in Hungary, is one of the most researched places in that geographical area from malacological point of view. Nevertheless, even recently, molluscs have been found in the valley, which were not previously reported from this place. During the 43 rd Hungarian Malacologist Meeting held in...

Shells of the representatives of the genus Bracenica Radoman, 1973: B. spiridoni, B. vitojaensis and a new species, collected at the Kotor Bay (Montenegro) are presented. For the new species also the operculum (characteristic of the genus), penis and the female reproductive organs are described and figured. Considering the shell, operculum, and sof...

Virpazaria Gittenberger, 1969 is distributed in the Balkan Peninsula (Albania, Montenegro and Croatia) and inhabits the shallow subterranean habitat (MSS) on limestone base rock. Reviewing historical and recently collected material, two species, Virpazaria (Virpazaria) gittenbergeri Fehér & Erőss sp. nov. and Virpazaria (Virpazaria) pesici Fehér &...

With the aim of better exploring the distributions of mollusc species of conservation importance and to discover species new to science, we have made five collecting trips in the recent past in Kosovo. During the last of these trips we discovered a viable population of Vertigo moulinsiana (Dupuy, 1849), a Natura 2000 indicator species, which, accor...

The Balkan genus Spelaeodiscus Brusina, 1886 is revised based on museum collections and newly collected samples from Montenegro and Albania. The following species and subspecies are introduced as new to science: Spelaeodiscusalbanicusedentatus Páll-Gergely & P. L. Reischütz, ssp. n. (southern Montenegro and northern Albania), Spelaeodiscusdensecost...

Try to find all (literature and recent) malacological data of Hargita County.

During a field trip to the western part of the Balkan Peninsula in 2016, investigations of several caves and karstic springs revealed six new gastropod species living in subterranean waters and resulted in some noteworthy faunistic records. Five of the new species are assigned to the genus Paladilhiopsis Pavlović, 1913, namely P. prekalensis sp. n....

During the field work of our research into the terrestrial malacofauna of the eastern Adriatic islands Šolta, Drvenik veli and Drvenik mali (Croatia) 36 snail species with shells were registered. That almost tripled the number of taxa recorded in the literature. We consider Lindholmiola corcyrensis (Rossmässler, 1836) and Delima (Piceata) piceata (...

A short overview of subterranean Balkan hydrobid genera, with special focus on genus Bythiospeum Bourguignat, 1892 and Iglica A.J. Wagner, 1928 is given. In addition, based on recently collected material in Montenegro (Vitoja Spring) and Albania (Krumë), five new species are described, namely: Bracenica vitojaensis n. sp., Islamia montenegrina n. s...

Recently collected samples of freshwater molluscs from springs in NW and SW Romania revealed two new Bythinella spp. which are here described as new for science. The holotypes and paratypes are depicted as well as the penis morphology. Of one species only empty shells could be found.

In the framework of the research program of the Hungarian Natural History Museum”Invertebrate faunistical investigation of Sălaj county”, numerous molluscs (87 species) were collected in 2014-2015. Compared to other parts of the Carpathians, the mollusc fauna of Sălaj county is relatively poor - after this investigations this number is increased to...

In the present study, we revised Albanian Agathylla, combining the traditional shell morphological approach with a phylogenetic reconstruction based on three mitochondrial DNA markers (COI, COII and 16S rRNA). From the faunistic perspective, Albania was an almost completely unexplored country until the end of the 1990s. Following recent intense fie...

Co-occurrences of the Vertigo species of Hungary with notes on their habitat preference. In the present paper we are providing data on the co-occurence of the seven Vertigo species living in Hungary (V. alpestris, V. angustior, V. antivertigo, V. moulinsiana, V. pygmaea, V. pusilla, V. substriata). We found that V. alpestris and V. moulinsiana co-o...

A new species, Balcanodiscus (Balcanodiscus) danyii n. sp. is described from the Sapka Mountains in Thrakia (northeastern Greece). B. danyii seems to be the smallest species of the Balkan endemic genus Balcanodiscus Riedel & Urbmiski 1964. According to anatomical data, its closest related species is Balcanodiscus cerberus Riedel 1984. A comprehensi...

This study presents some faunistic results obtained during 12 field trips in Turkey between 1990 and 2008. These field trips involved 41 provinces in each region of Turkey, placing particular emphasis on the Pontic range (Karadeniz Bölgesi, the Black Sea Region) in the North and on Mediterranean areas (Ege and Akdeniz Bölgesi, the Aegean and Medite...

A new zonitid species, probably belonging to Gyralina (Spelaeopatula), is described based on shell material as G. (S.)? nopcsai. Its exact taxonomic placement requires examination of its anatomical structure, and especially genitalia.

According to the current state of knowledge the terrestrial gastropod fauna of Bulgaria includes 226 species and 33 subspecies (excluding nominate ones), making altogether 259 taxa. The following new data are presented: updated nomenclature of 50 taxa, synonymisation of 17 taxa; taxa whose presence in Bul- garia was discovered and those which were...

The first record of a valvatiform hydrobiid species in Hungary is presented. Hauffenia kissdal - mae sp. n. is the eleventh species assigned to the genus and is differentiated from all known congeners. Distinguishing characters are the pegless operculum, the almost flat spire, the short, flat penis with a wide lateral lobe on the left side and a le...

Until now it was doubtful whether Dobatia goettingi Brandt lives in Bulgaria. Although empty shells of this species had been collected in the Black Sea coastal region, but they were considered to be originated from Turkey. The authors collected one live specimen in a mixed oak-beech forest in the Istranca Mountains (Strandža planina), near Malko Tâ...
