New records.

Nom. PELLAS: Lake Vegorritis, stony bank close to Peraia, ca 515 m asl, 40°44'38"N, 21°49'07"E, 15.xi.2012, Radea and Parmakelis.

Remarks.

Marstoniopsis graeca was described from Lake Vegorritis as Parabythinella graeca Radoman, 1978 and, according to Radoman (1983), the stony east bank of the lake, to the north of the village Farangi, is the type locality of this taxon. Szarowska (2006) refers thatgross anatomy andhistology of the two taxa of Parabythinella , Parabythinella graeca and Parabythinella macedonica Hadžišče, 1963, do not differ from the one described for Marstoniopsis . The two taxa are most probably no more than two subspecies of Marstoniopsis macedonica . Marstoniopsis graeca is known only from Lake Vegorritis and Schütt (1985) considers that it is a common taxon for the area. Szarowska (2006) collected numerous specimens from Lake Vegorritis during the period 2003-2005. During our study, we found only one individual north of the locality where the species was discovered by Radoman (1978).
