| Abstract: | The helicid Otala punctata (Müller, 1774), native to the western Mediterranean (Martinez-Ortì & Robles, 2001), was introduced into a plant nursery near Mosta, in central Malta, with imported horticultural material sometime around 2003 (Mifsud et al., 2003). From here it dispersed to establish a breeding population in the area surrounding the nursery (Barbara & Schembri, 2008, 2010) |
