ABSTRACT
In this article, the diversity of land molluscs of Kohitang was studied. Malacafauna with 4 species belonging to 3 genera
were described in the Kohitang mountain range and explored the unexploited lands of desert hilly mountain regions.
KEYWORDS

region, biotope.
INTRODUCTION
It is known that land mollusks include more than
35,000 species and are the most common
invertebrates in natural ecosystems, as well as in areas
occupied by humans. Here, taking into account the
survival of land molluscs of the Buliminidae family in
desert, hilly mountain regions and urbanized areas, as
well as their adaptability to different stations, the
interpretation of changes in mollusc populations, the
basis of population biology, the determination of the
degree of pollution of natural biocenoses, and the
determination of anthropogenic pressure in the
foothills and mountain landscapes. In this regard, we
focused our research on the species composition of
terrestrial molluscs belonging to the Enidae family
found in Kohitang Mountain, and analyzing their
ecology and distribution.

Land molluscs collected from 2020 to 2022 from the
areas belonging to the "Surkhan" state reserve of the
Kohitang mountain range served as material in the
research work.
Fixation of typed materials, camera processing is
studied by A.A. Shileyko [4], anatomical studies were
used by A.A. Shileyko, T.S. Rimzhanov [6].
Shells of terrestrial molluscs belonging to the Enidae
family are medium in size, oval, tower-shaped or
lanceolate in shape, and have a spheroidal, spiral
structure. The mouth of the shell is simple or toothed.
Representatives of this family are widely distributed
throughout Eurasia, Africa and northern Australia [3].
As a result of the conducted research, it was found that
the following species of this family are distributed in
the research area.
Ottorozenia Muratov, 1992 generation
Ottarozenia varenzovi Rosen, 1893
Material: 7 pieces, collected from the southern slopes
of the Kohitang mountain range, in the territory of the
Surkhan state reserve, among semi-shrub plants.
All the morphological features of the shell fully
correspond to the information in the literature [2]. The
shell is cylindrical, oval-cylindrical or tower-shaped. The
number of whorls is 8 - 8.5, the last whorl rises strongly
towards the mouth of the shell. The color is reddish-
horned to white with dark radial stripes. The sculpture
is composed of radial lines that are clearly visible when
magnified 30-40 times. The mouth of the shell is
upright and oval, the edges are not curved and slightly
thickened.
Dimensions: Shell height: 8 - 10 mm, large diameter: 2.8
-3.1 mm
Ecology. 1300-1800 m above sea level. high, lives
among semi-shrub plants [2].
Spread. Kopettog and Kohitang mountain range [2].
Pseudonapaeus Westerlund, Generation of 1887
The shell has different shapes, the mouth of the shell is
toothless or toothed.
Spread. Asia Minor and Central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan,
North-West India [2].
Pseudonapaeus (Chondrulopsis) sogdianus Martens,
1874
The material, 120 pieces, was collected from
more than 15 places of the Kohitang mountain range,
among semi-shrub plants.
All the morphological characteristics of the shell fully
correspond to the information in the literature [2, 6].
The shell is round-oval, oblong-oval or cylindrical, shiny.
Wraps 6.5-8, convex, separated by a deep seam. There
are many purple radial lines on a white background
(the three embryonic whorls are brown). Sculpture -
the embryonic whorls are smooth, the remaining
whorls are irregularly radially wrinkled. The mouth of
the shell is slightly curved, the joints are close to each
other, and the edges are strongly sharpened.
The species is extremely variable, and all its
characteristics can change according to environmental
conditions.
Dimensions: Shell height: 13-17 mm, large diameter: 5.5-
6.5 mm.
Ecology. Found in the foothills, it lives on the stems of
young bushes and under stones between them [4].

Spread. Central Asia is a region of hills and mountains
[4].
Pseudonapaeus
(Chondrulopsis)
maydanica

the joint of the edges of the shell mouth is strongly
close to each other.

[2].
Turanena martensiana Ancey, 1886

rocky rocks around Kampirtepa, Kohitang mountain
range.
The shell is conical or oval-conical, the walls of the shell
are medium thick, not shiny. Shell whorls 5-6,
moderately convex, deep suture. The last shell of the
shell is raised in the mouth part. The color is yellow or

CONCLUSION
As a result of the research conducted in this way, it was
