List of non-marine molluscs of the Czech Republic

This is a list of the non-marine molluscs of the Czech Republic. That country is land-locked and therefore it has no marine molluscs, only land and freshwater species, including snails, slugs, freshwater clams and freshwater mussels. There are 247[1] species of molluscs living in the wild in the Czech Republic. In addition there are at least 11 gastropod species surviving in greenhouses.

Location of the Czech Republic

There are 219[1] gastropod species (50[1] freshwater and 169[1] land species) and 28[1] bivalve species living in the wild.

There are also 11 introduced gastropod species (5 freshwater and 7 land species) and 4 bivalve species living in the wild in the Czech Republic. This is a total of 9 freshwater non-indigenous species living in natural habitats.

History

Historical lists from 19th century or overviews of Czech malacofauna include works by Schöbl (1860), Slavík (1868) and Uličný (1892–95).[2][3]

Lists by Vojen Ložek include work Ložek (1948) for Bohemia. Following works include lists for whole Czechoslovakia for recent species: Ložek (1949), Ložek (1956)[4] and list including Quaternary species: Ložek (1964).[5]

Lists for freshwater species include: Beran (1998)[6] and Beran (2002).[7]

Conservation status of all 237 species include list by Juřičková et al. (2001).[8] There is also available red list based on that 2001 list.[9] Threatened species only include list by Beran et al. (2005).[10] List by Juřičková et al. (2008)[11] has included 245 species. List by Horsák et al. (2010) has included 247 species.[1]

Freshwater gastropods

There are only families and species in the list. The Czech name is in parentheses. Listed is the occurrence in Bohemia or in Moravia (and if it is a non-indigenous or locally extinct species).
