Notes on the continental malacofauna of Rhodes, with two new species for the fauna of the island

Barna Páll-Gergely & Zoltán Csabai

Data for 15 terrestrial and freshwater snail (Gastropoda) species are given from 35 localities on Rhodes Island. An invasive species, Haitia acuta (Draparnaud, 1805), and a species occurring in brackish waters, Ovatella firminii (Payraudeau, 1826) are new species and genus to the fauna of the island. This is the second record of O. firminii from Greece, which is interesting from another point of view; it was found in freshwater (not brackish) about 6 km from the sea.
