Abstract

Features of shell and genitalia as well as nucleotide sequences of selected mitochondrial and nuclear genes of specimens of Monacha cantiana from ten northern French and two Dutch populations were compared with the same features of British and Italian populations. They were found to be very similar to populations previously identified as belonging to the CAN-1 lineage of M. cantiana. This confirms previous suggestions that M. cantiana was introduced to western Europe (England, France and the Netherlands) in historical times.
