Abstract

We present data on the new record of the Roman snail Helix pomatia Linnaeus, 1758 in the Penza region. The record was made in the Nizhny Lomov district where we found more than 40 specimens of the Roman snail. We described its habitat and adjacent forest area. The revealed location is the roadside 100 cm from the roadway. The forest area adjacent to the roadside is represented by the oak forest with the common composition of herbaceous and woody plants. We discussed the possible reasons of the Helix pomatia appearance in this site.
