Testudo graeca Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL

The only source reporting the occurrence of this species in Lefkada is the map by Valakos et al. (2008: 184), possibly based on the old record of T. graeca by De Betta (1868: 890), reported by subsequent authors, which however refers to T. hermanni . Since Lefkada is far outside the range of this species and there are no evidences of the presence of this tortoise on the island, the occurrence of viable populations on Lefkada is unlikely.
