Abstract
    The biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea is threatened by an ever increasing pressure from alien species, among which Mollusca are playing a leading role with more than 200 species enumerated. Within the Bivalvia, Clementia papyracea (Gmelin, 1791) is amongst one of the least recorded Mediterranean invaders, only known on the basis of one living specimen from Egypt and few additional empty shells and loose valves. We here first report both the overlooked presence of this species from Greece (Kriti Island) and the first fresh samples from Israel. Our unpublished records may therefore contribute to the suggestion that this taxon is established in the Mediterranean Sea.
