In this paper we provide a new list of all the mollusc species
recorded outdoors in the Czech and Slovak Republics. This work is a
supplement of the Ložek’s key on molluscs of the former
Czechoslovakia. For the species recorded after the publishing of the
book, publications of their first records in the Czech and Slovak
Republics are given. Species which are either not included in this
Ložek’s book or whose current taxonomical status highly differs from
that published in the book are supplied with Czech commentaries,
photographs of their shells or bodies, and drawings of important
identification characters. This material is aimed at Czech and Slovak
malacologists to provide information, missing or scattered in the
literature, on currently known mollusc fauna of the Czech and Slovak
Republics. The Ložek’s book and this supplement should provide
necessary information on identification, ecology and also distribution
of all mollusc species currently known from the Czech and Slovak
Republics. If the species names used in this paper differ from the
ones used in the Ložek’s book, we mention both. So far 247 species of
molluscs, including 219 species of gastropods (50 aquatic and 169
terrestrial) and 28 species of bivalves, have been found outdoors in
the Czech Republic. The fauna of Slovakia comprises 247 species,
including 219 gastropods (51 aquatic and 168 terrestrial) and 28
bivalves. Altogether 282 species occur in the Czech Republic and
Slovakia, 212 of them being common to both countries.
