New records.

Nom. EVVOIAS: stream with dense vegetation composed mainly by Nasturtium sp. and Helosciadium sp., on coastal flats 3.2 km NW of Marmari, ca 0 m asl, 38°04'16"N, 24°18'06"E, 26.xi.2012, Radea and Constantinidis.

Remarks.

According to Schütt (1980) this taxon is a subspecies of Pseudamnicola macrostoma ( Küster, 1853),i.e. Pseudamnicola macrostoma negropontina (Clessin, 1878),and it was described from Chalkis in Central Evvoia. Specimens of this taxon were also collected in 1985 and 2003 from an artificial pond in Marmari ( Szarowska et al. 2006).

The latter authors consider Pseudamnicola macrostoma negropontina as a distinct species, Pseudamnicola negropontina . The molecular analysis that we performed after finding fresh specimens of Pseudamnicola macrostoma in Kato Souli, Attiki, showed that the COI sequence divergence separating the two taxa is 5.8% (K-2p model).
