Abstract: The first record of Trochulus bielzi (E. A. Bielz) is reported from Hungary (Zemplén Mts, Nyíri-patak valley near Füzérkomlós).The anatomy and two shells of T. bielzi are illustrated, and the new locality is shown on a map.Exact measurements of epiphallus, flagellum, penis and vagina of T. bielzi from the new locality and from Romania, and of some other similar Trochulus species (unidentatus (Draparnaud), filicinus (L.Pfeiffer), bakowskii (Poliñski)), as well as length proportions of these organs are given.Some of the differences in the length ratios of the genital organs may prove useful when identifying members of Trochulus.
