Reischütz1 Summary The knowledge of the slug fauna of Austria is very poor, especially of the Alpine areas. A small collection of slugs from the Gesäuse (Ennstal, Gesäuse, Styria, Austria) was an impulse to give a survey of our knowledge. Keywords: Gastropoda, slugs, Austria. Einleitung Vor kurzem erhielt ich von H. Sattmann (Naturhistorisches Museum Wien) eine kleine Nacktschneckenaufsammlung aus dem Johnsbachtal zur Bestimmung. Dies wurde zum Anlaß genommen, die Kenntnisse über dieses Gebiet zusammenzufassen, weil unser Wissen noch immer sehr beschränkt ist und weil einige Arten vorkommen, die aus systematischer und nomenklatorischer Sicht interessant und auch problematisch sind. Wegen der angeblichen Schwierigkeiten beim Bestimmen und wegen der Mängel in der Methodik des Sammelns wurden die wenigen gefundenen Nacktschnecken in der Ver- gangenheit geflissentlich übersehen oder unter horrenden Fehlbestimmungen publiziert [vergl. KLEMM (1954), wo Arion distinctus MABILLE 1867 als Arion hortensis (det. H. FRANZ) aus dem Hochgebirge gemeldet wird - eine Verwechslung mit Arion fuscus (O. F. MÜLLER 1774) (= A. subfuscus aut. non DRAPARNAUD 1805)]. Eine erste zusammen- fassende Darstellung finden wir bei REISCHÜTZ (1986) (mit diesem Datum ist allerdings auch die Nacktschneckenforschung in Österreich sanft entschlafen).

  • The Slugs of Bulgaria (Arionidae, Milacidae, Agriolimacidae
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

  • Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area
    Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area S a b i n e F ISCHER & M i c h a e l D UDA Abstract: Research in the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area (DWA) in the southwest of Lower Austria is mainly concerned with the inventory of flora, fauna and habitats, interdisciplinary monitoring and studies on ecological disturbances and process dynamics. During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed. Key words: Wilderness Dürrenstein, Primeval forest, Benign neglect, Non-intervention management, Mollusca, Snails, Alpine endemics.

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

Les caracteres distinctifs de L. valentiana sont mentionnes. Plu­ sieurs adultes presentent un penis avec son caecum completement mva­ gine, de sorte que, de l'exterieur, le caecum penien semble absent. La description originale de cette espece date de 1821. Provisoirement, Lehmannia est considere par !'auteur comme un genre distinct. Sa position systematique est discutee. SUMMARY Belgian specimens of Lehmannia valentiana (DE FERUSSAC, 1821), a new species for the belgian fauna, are described in detail (adults and young). The distinctive characters of L. valentiana are mentioned. Several adult specimens have the penial caecum completely invaginated, so that externally the penial caecum seems to be absent. The original description of this species dates fro~ 1821. For the present, the author considers Lehmannia as a distinct genus. Its systematic position is discussed. 2 J.
