New records.

Nom. EVVOIAS: stream with dense vegetation composed mainly by Nasturtium sp. and Helosciadium sp., on coastal flats 3.2 km NW of Marmari, ca 0 m asl, 38°04'16"N, 24°18'06"E, 26.xi.2012, Radea and Constantinidis.

Remarks.

Pseudobithynia euboeensis was collected in 1985 for the first time and it was described by Glöer et al. (2010) from a damp meadow with some small water bodies, formed by the water running from a spring, at the seaside close to Marmari. The above authors report that the type locality was no longer extant in 2003 because all the water from the spring was used for irrigation.

So far, the species was known only from its type locality. The new locality is probably close to the type locality and is likely influenced by touristic activity during summer. Several specimens of Pseudobithynia euboeensis were found either on plant material or under stones.
