Title

New gastropod records for the Mediterranean and the Hellenic seas

Abstract

The Hellenic Seas are affected by environmental changes under way and the introduction of alien species, which influence their biodiversity. This study continues the contribution to the knowledge of the Hellenic marine malacofauna accumulating data from the entire Greek region during the period from October 2008 to October 2018. It includes 53 species of not previously reported gastropods or reported only once from Greece and belonging to 23 families. From those species, 2 are new for the Mediterranean Sea, 17 are new for the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, 34 are new for the Hellenic malacofauna and 2 are previously reported as Lessepsian migrants. Main taxonomic characteristics and ecological information such as habitat, distribution and origin, are given and discussed.
