ABSTRACT
Land snails of the genus Monacha are shown to have expanded widely northward in Eastern Europe during the last decade. Previously their ranges there were limited to Southern Ukraine, Caucasus and several isolated colonies in Western Ukraine. Our new reports cover all parts of Ukraine, as well as some regions of southern Belarus and western Russia. We have sampled 5 large colonies of M. cartusiana in Kyiv region (Central Ukraine) and one in Kharkiv city (northeastern Ukraine), as well as two colonies of M. fruticola in Kyiv city. We also report 72 new records of the subgenus Monacha (M. cf. cartusiana) in Eastern Europe, based mostly on the photographs from citizen science databases (iNaturalist, UkrBIN). The distribution of M. cartusiana around Kyiv city has shown an especially rapid and wide expansion; we report on 36 colonies, some of which are very abundant and cover several tens of hectares each, while the oldest known record of Monacha in this region is only from 2017. Origin, expansion and perspectives of the Monacha species in Eastern Europe are discussed.
