The genus Atyaephyra de Brito Capello, 1867 consists of seven species, which are distributed in Europe, Asia Minor and northern Africa. Four of them occur on the Balkan Peninsula, which is known as one of the global diversity and endemism hotspots for freshwater fauna. Atyaephyra thyamisensis Christodoulou, Antoniou, Magoulas & Koukouras, 2012 has been known from Greek mainland and is considered as endemic to the Ionian region. Herewith we report the first finding of this species from the Adriatic region, i.e., Albania and Republic of Macedonia, including the ancient Lake Prespa, and we provide new localities from Greece. Given the subtle morphological features differing this species from other congeners, we support our findings with DNA barcodes.
Le genre Atyaephyra de Brito Capello, 1867 comprend sept espèces, réparties en Europe, en Asie Mineure et en Afrique du Nord. Quatre d’entre elles sont présentes dans la péninsule des Balkans, qui est connue comme l’un des hotspots de diversité globale et d’endémisme pour la faune d’eau douce. Atyaephyra thyamisensis Christodoulou, Antoniou, Magoulas & Koukouras, 2012 est connue de Grèce continentale et est considérée comme endémique de la région Ionienne. Ici, nous rapportons la première trouvaille de cette espèce de la région Adriatique, c’est-à-dire l’Albanie et la République de Macédoine, en incluant le lac Prespa (lac ancien), et nous fournissons de nouvelles localités en Grèce. Etant donné les traits morphologiques subtils distinguant cette espèce de ces congénères, nous confirmons nos résultats avec les codes barres ADN.
