A gastropod species characterised by bristles was observed at a depth of 6 m during a dive conducted in October 2022 in a rocky and gravelly area in Göynük town (coordinates 36°39'1.72' N; 30°33'35.29' E) in Phaselis territory. This gastropod, which has not been recorded in the region before, was identified as Monoplex parthenopeus (Salis Marschlins, 1793).
