Malpolon insignitus fuscus (Fleischmann, 1831)

The Eastern Montpellier Snake has been reported by Chondropoulos (1989: 17), Broggi (1994: 32), and Schmid (2019: 74, 77). We found the species at seven localities: Agios Georgios monastery near Maranthochori(17/5/2019), between Maranthochori and the lake (17/5/2019; Fig. 3B ), SW of Maranthochori (23/5/2019), south of Athani (23/5/2019), Livadia (24/5/2019), Vasiliki (25/5/2019), and Asprogerakata (26/5/2019). In addition, we found a single citizen science record from near Apollonioi (25/10/2019).
