Authors: Mifsud, Constantine
Abstract: This paper presents an updated checklist of Cnidaria and Ctenophora species documented in Maltese
waters, which consists of approximately 160 species. Five species of Ctenophora account for around
15% of the total Mediterranean diversity, while the figure for Cnidaria represents approximately 20%
of the Mediterranean total. These are significant figures when considering the historical lack of
dedicated research and the inherent challenges in species-level identification within these
morphologically diverse groups. This provisional checklist functions as a foundation for future
investigations aimed at expanding knowledge about the fauna of the sea surrounding the Maltese
Islands.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZAfter two centuries, a new native species of the family Cypraeidae (Mollusca : Gastropoda) from the Mediterranean Sea : Schilderina Ichnusa N.

Authors: Nappo, Andrea; Swinnen, Frank
Abstract: A new species of Schilderina Dolin & Aguerre, 2020 from Sardinia, Italy, is described as Schilderina
ichnusa n. sp. It is compared with recent and fossil species belonging to the same genus, from
Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZDescription of a new species of Teinostoma Adams & Adams, 1853 (Gastropoda : Littorinimorpha) from the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with a note on two primary homonyms in the genusMifsud, ConstantineOvalis, Panayotis/library/oar/handle/123456789/1381842025-08-19T11:17:57Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Description of a new species of Teinostoma Adams & Adams, 1853 (Gastropoda : Littorinimorpha) from the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with a note on two primary homonyms in the genus
Authors: Mifsud, Constantine; Ovalis, Panayotis
Abstract: A new species from the genus Teinostoma Adams & Adams, 1853 from the eastern Mediterranean is
being described as Teinostoma ovalisi Mifsud n. sp. The genus is new for the Mediterranean Sea.
In addition, Teinostoma mexicanum nom. nov. is proposed for Teinostoma solidum Dall, 1889,
primary homonym of Teinostoma solidum Smith, 1872.2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
