The Kastellorizo island group (in the Dodecanese, Greece) is situated in the southeast corner of the Aegean Archipelago. It consists of twenty islets, of which the three largest (Kastellorizo, Ro and Strongyli) and seven smaller ones belong to Greece. Knowledge of the malacofauna on the islands is relatively poor. Only eight species were known prior to the present study, all from the islet of Kastellorizo. Here, using the scientific collections at the Natural History Museum of Crete collected mainly by the authors and also by several researchers since 1976, we reappraise the malacofauna of the island group. Thirty-one species were found in total (23 from Kastellorizo, 19 from Ro, 15 from Strongyli, 10 from Agios Georgios, 14 from Agrielia, 6 from Psomi and 10 from Psoradia). The fact that there are no endemic snail species in the islands can be accounted for by their proximity to the Turkish coast, their common paleogeography with Turkey until the Late Pleistocene and Holocene, and the influence of humans. All but two species, Mastus etuberculatus and Vitrea riedeliana, are known from the adjacent Turkish coasts. Together with the subfossil species found on the smaller islets, the predominance of different species on each islet suggests a continuous substitution from the source areas of Turkey and the Aegean.

对卡斯特罗里佐（Megisti）岛群（希腊东南部）陆地疟疾动物知识的贡献

卡斯特罗里佐岛（位于希腊多德卡尼斯群岛）位于爱琴海群岛的东南角。它由二十个小岛组成，其中三个最大的小岛（Kastellorizo​​，Ro和Strongyli）和七个较小的小岛属于希腊。关于岛屿上的疟疾动物的知识相对较差。在本研究之前，仅已知八种，全部来自卡斯特罗里佐岛。在这里，我们使用克里特岛自然历史博物馆的科学藏品（主要由作者以及1976年以来的一些研究人员收集），重新评估了该岛群的疟疾动物群。共发现31种（Kastellorizo​​ 23种，Ro 19种，Strongyli 15种，Agios Georgios 10种，Agrielia 14种，Psomi 6种和Psoradia 10种）。这些岛屿中没有特有的蜗牛物种，这是由于它们靠近土耳其海岸，它们与土耳其直到古更新世和全新世的共同古地理以及人类的影响而造成的。从邻近的土耳其海岸知道了除了两个物种之外的所有其他物种，即玛斯图斯（Matusus etuberculatus）和Vitrea riedeliana。连同在较小的小岛上发现的亚化石物种一起，每个小岛上不同物种的优势表明土耳其和爱琴海的来源地区有连续的替代。
