Abstract

Data about Recent molluscan fauna of the Javoříčský Karst are given. Altogether 77 species (76 species of Gastropoda, 1 species of Bivalvia) were recorded. Molluscan fauna is dominated by woodland communities occurring in various types of woodland habitats while elements of open grounds and aquatic habitats are poorly represented. Of prime importance is the occurrence of the Alpine and Carpathian elements at the same place as well as the records of sensitive woodland species Bulgarica cana and overlooked slug Deroceras turcicum, both new ones for the area of the Javoříčský Karst. The list of recorded molluscs is enclosed in this paper as well as the quadrangle mapping of important species Orcula dolium and Itala ornata. Due to the confusion of epilithic species Chondrina avenacea, reported from the area studied in the end of 19th century, the distributions of Chondrina clienta and Chondrina avenacea in the Czech Republic are shortly commented and compared in the form of quadrangle maps.
