Popis: Potamon fluviatile is one of four freshwater crabs to be found in the Balkan Peninsula. It was previously recorded from a north-western locality in Corfu during 1977. This paper reports a second site for this species, in the southern half of the island, and discusses the general prognosis for the continued presence of this and other freshwater crabs in habitats across their natural range in the Mediterranean region.
