Brephulopsis bidens (Krynicki, 1833)

Until now, data on only three known localities of B. bidens outside Crimea have been published ( Gural-Sverlova et al., 2018): 1) Kherson Region, Chaplynka , 1990; 2 ) Odesa Region, Kodyma District , Tymkove, 1996; 3 ) Zaporizhzhia Region, Mykhailivka District, at the railway embankment near Burchak, 2017. Among the materials on which the dissertation of Gensytskyi (2021) was written, we found a small sample of B. bidens from another locality : Kherson Region, Genichesk District, Stokopani , forest belt between fields, 2020, 46.28899 N 34.97079 E. In the dissertation itself, B. bidens is mentioned for the Zaporizhzhia Region only according to literature data ( Gural-Sverlova et al., 2018).

Currently, samples of B. bidens from Chaplynka and Tymkove are stored in the collection of land mollusks of the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology in Kyiv ( Balashov, 2016), samples from Burchak and Stokopani — in SMNHL. Images of two shells from Burchak are shown in Gural-Sverlova et al. (2018: fig. 2 ).
