discussion
The Balkan Whip Snake was first recorded on Lefkada by Chondropoulos (1989: 9), and then was reported by Broggi (1994: 32) and Schmid (2019: 72, 74). We found two dead on road adults near Vasiliki (19 / 5 / 2019) and near Marantochori (23 / 5 / 2019). Citizen science data are available from near Athani (18 / 7 / 2018), Ponti near Vasiliki (7 / 6 / 2019), and Vasiliki (3 / 9 / 2918).
