| Description | An empty shell of the Carpathian snail Vitrea transsylvanica was found on the Věnec Mt. in the Bohemian Forest foothills in 1999. Relatively dense population of this snail was confirmed during more detailed exploration of the site in 2001. This species has been hitherto known from the territory of the Czech Republic only from the outside mountain ranges of northern Moravia nad Silesia, where its local populations have been in contact with a continuous area of occurrence in the Carpathians. Futhermore, this species is known from several isolated localities in southern Moravia, in Bohemia it concerns occurrings in vicinity of the town of Česká Třebová and in the region of the Ještěd Mt. Our findings represent the third isolated area of occurrence in Bohemia. |
