Comments.
Clivina ypsilon was noted for the first time in Greece by von Oertzen (1886). Apfelbeck (1904) reports again the species providing two localities (Phaleron, in Attica and Thessaly Province). Arndt et al. (2011) accept this species for Greece, but only for the Greek mainland. This constitutes the first documentation of C. ypsilon in Crete. The species was found in two quite different habitats, i. e., in a salt-marsh and in the sandy banks of a freshwater lake (Kournas).
