Amigo Carlos

O Pomatias sulcatus existe de facto no Algarve, mais concretamente no Alvôr
e já a encontrei viva enterrada num campo nesta localidade no mês de Maio de
1997. Se não der com
este molusco quando eu for ao Algarve posso indicar-lhe o local preciso.
Quanto ao P.elegans só o apanhei em Sintra e Figueira da Foz e existe em
mais zonas do centro/sul mas o Augusto Nobre não o refere para o
Algarve.Aproveito para dizer que em breve enviarei uma nova lista, pois
estou à espera de material dos barcos.

cumprimentos

Bernardino
