The genus Euspira Agassiz View in CoL in Sowerby, 1837 on Giglio Island
Two species of the genus Euspira were found on Giglio Island. Euspira nitida (Donovan, 1804) , which is frequently listed under one of its many junior synonyms such as Lunatia poliana (Delle Chiaje, 1826) (e.g., Settepassi 1970, Sabelli & Spada 1977, Schiró, 1977, Riedel 1983), and Euspira macilenta (Philippi, 1844) . Specimens of E. nitida were found in the Bay of Campese and in the caves of the Cala delle`Allume in shallow waters up to 8 m depth. Both collecting areas were overgrown with Posidonia oceanica or Zostera spec . sea weeds. The specimens were found crawling under the sand, leaving well observable trails on its surface. Additionally, many empty shells were found in the Caves at the Cala delle´Allume. The species prefers coarse sediment. The one shell of E. macilenta was found at Pt. del Morto in 35 m depth in coarse sand.
