The present paper reports the presence of living populations of Morlina glabra (Rössmässler, 1835) in the Benelux and gives a first glance at the extent of the range in the three countries. This species, originating mainly from southern European mountains, has been present since at least 2014 in Belgium and 2018 in the Netherlands but was previously misidentified, mainly by confusion with Oxychilus navarricus helveticus. It was presumably introduced accidentally by man and seems to have largely spread on its own in both artificial and natural habitats. We recommend a rapid assessment of the environmental risks of this non-native species with a high invasive potential.
