| Abstract: | Live animals of the trochid gastropod Gibbula nivosa, which is endemic to the Maltese Islands, have not been recorded for over 25 years despite recent intensive searches in localities where good populations used to be found. Sampling carried out at Marsamxett Harbour and Comino has yielded live individuals from accumulations of cobbles and pebbles, showing that this is an important habitat for G. nivosa and confirming that this species is not extinct, although it should still be regarded as ‘critically endangered’. |
