| Abstract: | Seven species of marine gastropods, namely Melanella praecurta (Pallary, 1904), Entoconcha mirabilis Müller, 1852, Alvania asperula (Brugnone, 1880), Alvania peloritana (Aradas & Benoit, 1874), Trophonopsis sparacioi Smriglio, Mariottini & Di Giulio, 2015, Conus vayssierei Pallary, 1906, and Raphitoma mirabilis (Pallary, 1904), are newly recorded for Maltese waters, while Alvania subareolata (Monterosato, 1869) and Trophonopsis barvicensis (Johnson, 1825) are excluded from the local fauna. In addition, a review of recent publications (i.e. after 2019) that include new records and / or references to marine molluscs of Malta is compiled. |
