Abstract
In field research into the Tela{}ica Nature Park (Dugi otok, Croatia), 38 species of terrestrial snails were determined. Of these, only 14 taxa had been recorded in the literature. Among the species, particularly prominent were the narrowly endemic Delima edmibrani [tamol et Slapnik, 2002 the range of which is restricted exclusively to the borders of the Park, the endemic Agathylla lamellosa (Schubert et Wagner, 1829), which has so far been known from South Dalmatia and Montenegro, Testacella scutulum G. B. Sowerby I, 1820, for which Tela{}ica is the second and at the same time the most southerly site in Croatia, the endemic Chondrina spelta ventilatoris (Westerlund, 1875), for which this is the westernmost finding site, and Paralaoma servilis (Schuttleworth, 1852), for which this is the sixth site recorded in Croatia. Because of the many visitors whose movements represent a potential threat to the habitats of endemic species, it is proposed that this area be protected.
