First occurrence of the Kentish Snail Monacha cantiana
(Mollusca: Gastropoda: Hygromiidae) in the Czech Republic
Jaroslav Č. Hlaváč & Alena Peltanová
We document the first occurrence of the Kentish Snail Monacha cantiana (Montagu, 1803) from Prague, Czech Republic. During autumn 2009, an abundant population of M. cantiana was found at sites with suitable vegetation and microclimatic conditions, predominantly composed of grassy vegetation cover. It is expected that this species will continue to spread in the Czech Republic.
