Abstract
Pomatias rivularis (Eichwald, 1829) specimens were collected on Bansko Brdo (or Bansko Hill, Baranya, Croatia) during spring 2007. This species proved to be new for the Croatian fauna. Populations of Pomatias elegans (O. F. Müller, 1774) were also found on Bansko Brdo, which is the only known area in Croatia where both these two species occur. The list of 40 mollusc species (35 snails, 5 bivalves) identified in the study area is presented. Among them, Ena montana (Draparnaud, 1801) was found for the first time in the NE part of the country.
