Abstract

A review of the malacological literature established the number and type of papers containing data on the terrestrial malacofauna of the Croatian islands Cres, Susak, Dugi otok, Kornat, Bra~, and the archipelagos of Tela{}ica Nature Park and Kornati National Park. The total number of taxa of terrestrial snails and their localities on each analysed island and archipelago was also established. The thoroughness of the investigation of these islands and archipelagos was assessed according to the number of snail taxa and localities listed, and to the representation of small snail species. This allows for an assessment of the knowledge of their malacofauna and the determination of priority islands and archipelagos for future research on terrestrial snails.
