| Abstract |
Several environmental changes and the introduction of alien species affect the biodiversity of the Hellenic Seas. With this study we continue the contribution to the knowledge of the Hellenic marine malacofauna, accumulating data from the entire Greek region, during the period from October 2008 to September 2019. It includes 51 species of not previously reported gastropods or reported only once and belongingto 3 families of Heterobranchia. Out of those species, 3 are new for the Mediterranean Sea, 19 are new for the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, 46 are new for the Hellenic malacofauna and 1 is previously reported lessepsian migrant. Main taxonomic characteristics and ecological information such as habitat, distribution and origin, are given and discussed. |
