Sažetak

In this short note, the author presents a record of a melanistic juvenile Dalmatian Algyroides (Algyroides nigropunctatus) in the village of Dassia on the Greek island of Corfu, with the in situ voucher photos. According to the existing literature, melanistic specimens of the Dalmatian Algyroides were recorded only in the north of the species’ range – on the island of Krk (Croatia) and in the village of Dragonja (Slovenia). This is one of the rare reported cases of melanism in Dalmatian Algyroides, and the first record of melanism in the southern part of this species’ distribution range.
