Its presence at the Lacu Roºu (Gyilkos-tó) area rep- resents the southeasternmost occurrence of the species. The only sample of P. lubomirski hitherto reported from Romania (leg. JICKELI in 1888 at Borsec Bai) seems to be lost from museum collections. The northern Carpathian distributional type is suggested for the species. The nomenclatural problem regarding the spelling of the specific name (i.e. lubomirskii or lubomirski) is discussed. The original, but less frequently used spelling (lubomirski) is suggested based on our understanding of the regulations of the ICZN. KEY WORDS: Carpathian species, faunistics, biogeography, Trochulus, anatomy INTRODUCTION Plicuteria lubomirski (Œlósarski, 1881) (often referred Umgebung des Bades Borszék” (=around Borsec Bai). to as Trochulus) is a Carpathian species reported from This record was later mentioned by SOÓS (1943) and Austria (KLEMM 1973, but also see REISCHÜTZ & GROSSU (1983).

Magyarország recens puhatestűinek revideált katalógusa (Mollusca) PINTÉR László Budapest ABSTRACT: (A revised catalogue of the recent molluscs of Hungary) — This catalo gue contains a revised list of recent molluscs living in Hungary, included also the in troduced species and the drift-fauna. Tíz évvel ezelőtt jelent meg a „Katalog der rezenten Mollusken Un garns" (PINTÉR, 1974) című munka. A zoológiában 10 év igen nagy idő: számtalan új eredmény született, s a régit sok esetben új szempontok és felismerések szerint értékeltük át. Ezeknek az elmúlt éveknek a magyaror szági recens malakofaunára vonatkozó eredményeit (mégha sokszor csak részeredmények is) tükrözi a következő összeállítás. A fajlistában csillag (*) jelzi a kizárólag melegházakban vagy botanikus kertekben élő fajokat, s kereszt ( + ) jelöli a csupán folyóhordalékból előkerült fajokat. A fajlistát megjegyzések (1—43) egészítik ki. Az irodalomjegyzék csak azokat a mű veket tartalmazza, melyekre a szövegben közvetlen utalás található.

Email: [email protected] Abstract. Faunistical data of mollusc fauna of the Codru-Moma Mountains were compiled on the basis of references and collected by the authors. The faunistical investigation was ﬁ rst concentrated on the terrestrial snails of the wooded area of the mountains. There are 12 compilations from references and 36 new collection sampling sites. The mollusc fauna of the studied area consists of 72 terrestrial snails (Gastropoda), 9 freshwater snails (Gastropoda) and 3 mussels (Bivalvia), a total of 84 taxons, 372 new units altogether. The ﬁ rst data of Helicodiscus singleyanus from Romania is included. Introduction A larger Mollusca Collection from the Codru-Moma Mountains can be found in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest) and Munkácsy Mihály Museum (Békéscsaba). Previous malacofaunistical data from the area come from Csiki (1906), Soós (1943), Sárkány-Kiss et al. (1997), Domokos (2001), Fehér & Gubányi (2001), Domokos & Váncsa (2005), Bába et al. (2006) and Váncsa (2006). The history of malacofaunistical research of Codru-Moma Mountains in view of its extent is easily summarizable (Table 1: A-F colums). The data from the above mentioned collections and papers were included into our paper. 68 Tamás Domokos & József Lennert Hydrography, meteorology, petrology, soil conditions and sampling sites of the Codru-Moma Mountains The Criú river system is situated in the western part of the Apuseni Mountains.

The River Valleys As Biodiversity Reservoirs for Land Snails in Highly Anthropic Areas – the Case of Cisnădie River (Romania)
Transylv. Rev. Syst. Ecol. Res. 18.3 (2016), "The Wetlands Diversity" 83 THE RIVER VALLEYS AS BIODIVERSITY RESERVOIRS FOR LAND SNAILS IN HIGHLY ANTHROPIC AREAS – THE CASE OF CISNĂDIE RIVER (ROMANIA) Voichiţa GHEOCA * *“Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Ecology and Environment Protection, Dr. I. Rațiu Street, 5-7, Sibiu, Sibiu County, Romania, RO-550012, [email protected] DOI: 10.1515/trser-2015-0094 KEYWORDS: land snails, biodiversity, conservation, anthropic impact. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the snail fauna of a river valley passing through two closely located settlements. Thirty six species of terrestrial gastropods were identified. Species such as Macrogastra borealis, Alinda fallax, Alinda viridana, Bulgarica vetusta, Monachoides vicinus, Drobacia banatica, are present along the river and abundant in the sampling stations downstream of Cisnădie town. The high specific diversity and the presence of typical forest species demonstrate the presence of fragments of habitat that can preserve populations of terrestrial gastropods, underlining the importance of river valleys in conservation and dispersion of these species. RÉSUMÉ: Les vallées fluviales réservoirs de la biodiversité pour les gastéropodes terrestres dans les régions fortes anthropisés ‒ étude de cas le Rivière Cisnădie (Roumanie). L’étude est axée sur la faune de gastéropodes terrestres de la zone riveraine d’une rivière qui traverse deux établissements sur une distance relativement courte. 36 espèces de gastéropodes terrestres ont été identifiées. Des espèces telles que Macrogastra borealis, Alinda fallax, Alinda viridana, Bulgarica vetusta, Monachoides vicinus, Drobacia banatica sont présents le long de la vallée et abondantes en aval de Cisnădie. Une grande diversité spécifique et la présence d’espèces caractéristiques des habitats forestières, démontrent l’existence des fragments d’habitat qui peuvent conserver les populations de gastéropodes terrestres, soulignant l’importance des vallées fluviales pour la conservation et la dispersion de ces espèces.

Given its ecological preferences for woodlands, it is unlikely that the species is a recent anthropogenic introduction. It may be rather considered as a postglacial or even interglacial immigrant and thus relict species. kEy words: distribution, Hygromiidae, land snails, new locality Petasina unidentata (Draparnaud, 1805) is an East- and western Ukraine, and constitutes a ridge in Alpine and Carpathian species.

Records of the Western Australian Museum Supplement No. 68: 115-132 (2005) Geographical variation in the composition and richness of forest snail faunas in northern Europe B. M. Pokryszko1 and R. A. D. Cameron2 IMuseum of Natural History, Wroclaw University, Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wroclaw, Poland. 2Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield 510 2TN, UK, and Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK. Abstract - The forest snail fauna of northern Europe originated from post glacial colonization from the south. While it is regionally poor (c. 150 species, excluding slugs), individual localities (clusters of sample sites within a few km of each other) can be rich by global standards (up to 57 species). Distance decay in faunal similarity is very gradual in lowland regions, but Carpathian faunas are sharply differentiated, and hold the most endemics. British faunas are remarkably uniform. Very little of this differentiation is due to congeneric replacement; it results mostly from shifts in the richness of whole families. Clausiliids in particular predominate in the Carpathians and adjacent areas, but this is not reflected in the apparent density of individuals: as species richness increases, average abundance of each declines. In general, small species are more Widely distributed than large ones. Although the richest localities are found in the Carpathians, regional variation in local richness is slight. Substrate has Significant effects: oligotrophic areas have poorer and more locally variable faunas. At a slightly larger scale, areas of less than 100 km2 holding more than 60 species can be found in many parts of the region (even more when slugs are included); the richest such patches hold about half the whole regional forest fauna.
