KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
This contribution describes two new sites of the depressed river mussel Pseudanodonta complanata (Rossmässler) in the Carpathian Mts. Empty but well preserved shells were found at two sites in the Wisłok River (Krosno and Odrzykoń). These are the second records of the species from the Polish part of the Carpathians. As only empty shells were found, it is unclear whether the species is a constant component of the river fauna of the Carpathians in Poland.
