Two new species of the genus Bythinella Moquin-Tandona, 1856 from the Greek island of Evia (Gastropoda: Bythinellidae)

Abstract

Aquatic snails of the genus Bythinella are among most abundant genera in springs of the Mediterranean region. In this paper we reported three species of the genus Bythinella from the springs on the island of Evia (Euboea, Euboia). Two species, i.e., Bythinella kastanolongosensis n. sp. and B. reuselaarsi n. sp. are described as new for science and photos of their shells and the penis are provided. New records are given for B. dimitrosensis Glöer & Reuselaars, 2020.

Bythinella charpentieri (Roth, 1855), found again after 165 years (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Bythinellidae)

“…The aquatic snails of the genus Bythinella Moquin-Tandona, 1856 are common in springs and spring-fed brooks throughout Greece and include a number of endemics. To date, 23 species of the genus Bythinella have been known from Greece (Glöer & Hirschfelder 2019;Glöer & Hirschfelder 2020;Glöer & Reuselaars 2020a,b,c;Georgiev & Glöer 2020;Glöer & Pešić 2020).…”
