Material examined. HNHM /15827 one adult ex., No. 42, Messinia County, Taigetos Mts., Kefalovriso, burnt spruce forest W of the village, 1440m, N37°02.733’ E22°15.485’, leg. L. Dányi, J. Kontschán, D. Murányi, 0 4.0 4.2009. HNHM /15829 one adult ex., No. 35, Arkadia County, Vitina, stream and its gallery, 960m, N37°39.031’ E22°10.156’, leg. L. Dányi, J. Kontschán, D. Murányi, 0 6.0 4.2009. HNHM /15831 one adult ex., No. 45, Lakonia County, Skala, shore vegetation of Evrotas River in the city, 10m, N36°51.279’ E22°40.521’, leg. L. Dányi, J. Kontschán, D. Murányi, 0 3.0 4.2009. HNHM /15835 four adult ex., No. 44, Lakonia County, Peristeri, macchia N of the village, 435m, N36°53.226’ E22°40.251’, leg. L. Dányi, J. Kontschán, D. Murányi, 0 3.0 4.2009.

Diagnosis. Length: 49–55 mm, diameter: 4–5 mm, setae distant. Pigmentation dark reddish-brown. Dorsal pores lacking. Clitellum on 25–30, tubercles 26–28, “ 29. Male pore on 15 small, hardly seen. Genital papillae constant on 9–11 c. Nephridial pores aligned in b. Four pairs of vesicles in 9–12; spermathecae 9/10–10/ 11 in d. Oesophagus slightly widens with calciferous lamellae in 11. Nephridial bladders “ octaedra ” type with moderately large ental pouching.

Remarks. Dendrobaena byblica olympiaca has long been in synonymy with D. byblica ( Pop 1949; Zicsi 1982). However these worms clearly differ from the Levantine type specimens of D. byblica in the following characters, which justify the subspecific status: dorsal pores lacking (vs. 10/ 11 in byblica byblica ), dark reddish-brown pigmentation present (vs. almost unpigmented with slight reddish hints at the head), body dimensions 40–65 mm by 4–5 mm (vs. 20–40 mm by 3–4 mm), genital papillae constantly on 9–11 c (vs. 11 a, b, c).
