Contributions to the malacology of Malta, vii : on non-indigenous species (Planorbidae, Pristilomatidae, Clausiliidae) newly recorded from alluvial deposits

The uncommon occurrence of three non-native non-marine snail species in Malta, namely Anisus vortex (Linné, 1758), Hawaiia minuscula (Binney, 1841), and Clausilia bidentata (Strøm, 1765), is documented for the first time. All finds originate from biogenic detritus deposited near coastlines by alluvial processes.
