Abstract

In 2010, several new sites of the dune snail Cernuella neglecta (Draparnaud, 1805) were documented relatively far from their previously known sites in the Czech Republic. Cernuella neglecta was found at these new sites in front of villas, on dry ruderal meadows and in urban areas.

The anthropic origin of those populations is probable. C. neglecta is another land snail species of southern European origin that is spreading to the new sites during last few years.
