| Abstract |
The Raphitomidae family in the Mediterranean Sea is currently under revision. For that reason, new data are of taxonomic and comparative importance. The Raphitomidae fauna of the Hellenic Seas was collected and investigated in a period of the last ten years. The findings were comparedwith checklists and collections. This effort revealed two new Raphitoma species. The main identification characteristics andbaseline ecological information are given and discussed. |
