Filling the gaps: First record of  Zonites  Montfort, 1810 from Paros island (Cyclades, Aegean, Greece)

Zonites Montfort, 1810 is recorded for the first time from Paros island. As only an old shell was found, the reasons that the populations of this threatened, endemic land snail of the Aegean seem to be declining should be investigated.
