The first records of the pulmonate land snail
Arion alpinus in
the Czech Republic are presented and the European distribution and
ecology of this species are discussed.
A. alpinus occurs in
forest ecosystems in the southern part of the Czech Republic at the
margin of its continuous distribution range. Both externally and
anatomically the Czech Republican specimens strongly resemble
A.
alpinus from neighbouring countries. Identification was confirmed
by DNA analysis.
