Thirty-three species of land snails were collected during a survey of the calcareous areas of the Karaburun Peninsula in western Turkey. The first record of Pagodulina hauseri for Turkey is given. Also given is the first record outside of Chios of a specimen identified tentatively as Vitrea storchi. Anatomies of Microxeromagna lowei, Monacha ocella...

A survey conducted during the years 2019 and 2021 in Phaselis found 22 species of snails and one species of semi-slug. The most abundant taxa were Albinaria lycica phaselis, Metafruticicola schuberti, Orculella ignorata and Rumina saharica. The scarcity of larger snails (Cornu, Eobania and Zonites species) was noteworthy. The anatomy of a specimen...

A survey of the land snails of Bozcaada, a small island in the Aegean Sea near the northwest coast of Turkey, found 30 species. Mediterranea depressa (Sterki) was recorded for the first time in Turkey. Five species in the family Enidae were found on the island; the most unexpected one was Chondrus tournefortianus (Férussac) outside of its previously known range. The conchological and anatomical characteristics of the specimens identified as Meijeriella cf. raynevaliana (Bourguignat) are given and the associated taxonomic issues are briefly discussed. Anatomies of Monacha claustralis (Rossmässler), Orculella critica (Pfeiffer) and Oxychilus cyprius (Pfeiffer) are also presented. As expected, the land snail faunas of Bozcaada, the nearby islands of Gökçeada and Limnos and the mainland Turkey share some species. Some of the differences in the species compositions of these areas may be explained as results of human-mediated introductions.
A single adult of an unidentified hygromiid was discovered at a brownfield site on the margins of a carpark near Tilbury, south Essex, on 3rd May 2017. This was tentatively identified from photographs as a species of Monacha, possibly M. ocellata (Roth, 1839). Later in 2017, with the more widespread appearance of adults at the locality, a more detailed study was undertaken. This established, from the dissection of genitalia in sexually mature adults, that the species was indeed Monacha ocellata, native to the south-east Mediterranean and unknown in northern Europe. Molecular analysis (nucleotide sequencing of mitochondrial COI and 16SrDNA as well as nuclear ITS2 gene fragments) showed a close relationship to GenBank sequences for Monacha ocellata originating from the Citadel of Constantinople, Istanbul.
