Mauremys rivulata (Valenciennes, 1833)

The Balkan Terrapin is well known in Lefkada ( De Betta, 1868: 893; Lehrs, 1912: 449; Fritz & Wischuf, 1997: 257; Schmid, 2019: 76). We observed two adults in a small stream close to the sea inside Nydri town ( 24/5/2019) ( Fig. 2D ). There are citizen science data from near Apollonion ( 29/3/2019, 27/7/2019) and Vasiliki ( 26/1/2019, 16/4/2019, 14/3/2020).
