Is Dondice banyulensis a Mediterranean endemic?
January 22, 2003
From: Miquel Pontes
Hi Bill,
As you all know, Dondice banyulensis is described as endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. But lately I have come across to some observations of this slug in the Atlantic Ocean: 1 find at Tavira, Portugal by Óscar Felgueiras [http://www.medslugs.de/E/Atl-E/Dondice_banyulensis_26.htm] and three findings in the Cantabric Sea (North coast of Spain) according to a report by Inma Fernández.
Do any of you have more reports of Dondice banyulensis outside the Mediterranean Sea? Maybe the distribution area should be revised for this species.
Yours sincerely
Miquel

Thanks Miquel,
Any records, particularly if accompanied by photos, of Dondice banyulensis from outside the Mediterranean would be welcome
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
