Alien Mollusks of Crimean Origin in Other Parts of Ukraine: Present Distribution and Chronology of Its Discovery
Abstract
Known records of five species of land snails of Crimean origin (Brephulopsis cylindrica (Menke, 1828), B. bidens (Krynicki, 1833), Mentissa gracilicosta (Rossmässler, 1836), Monacha fruticola (Krynicki, 1833, Helix albescens Rossmässler, 1839) in Ukraine outside the Crimea were analyzed. It was found that at least single species from this list are now reliably registered in more than half of the administrative regions of Ukraine. Maps for B. cylindrica, M. fruticola, and H. albescens were compiled. The data systematized in the article can become the basis for monitoring the further spreading of the analyzed species in Ukraine.
