The cyprinid freshwater fish, Pachychilon macedonicum (Steindachner, 1892), is an endemic species in the Balkan Peninsula and has a restricted distribution in Greece. Here, we report new records of the species out of its known natural range, namely at the Mpogdanas Stream (drainage area of lakes Koronia-Volvi, northern Greece), which now constitute a new eastern limit for the distribution of the species in southern Balkans. It appears that the new record is related to a human-mediated translocation.
