Family: Eubranchidae Odhner, 1934

Amphorina andra (Korshunova T, Malmberg K, Prkić J, Petani A, Fletcher K, Lundin K, Martynov A., 2020)

Specie non comune, anche se abbiamo potuto osservare e fotografare questa specie, recentemente separata dalla congenerica Amphorina farrani (Alder & Hancock, 1847), in diverse località del Salento. Presenta una notevole variabilità morfologica esterna, come si può vedere dalle foto.

Uncommon species, although we have been able to observe and photograph this species, recently separated from the congeneric Amphorina farrani (Alder & Hancock, 1847), in various locations in Salento. It has a notable external morphological variability, as can be seen from the photos
