Despite Greece being a global hotspot of subterranean biodiversity, its hypogean fauna is largely neglected from both an ecological and conservational point of view. An overview of the Niphargidae occurring in Greece is presented as an annotated list of all available published records. These records have resulted in an updated species list reflecting taxonomic corrections and species distribution range in the Greek peninsula. A total of 23 species, attributed to 3 genera, is up to date known from Greece with a high rate of endemicity found particularly in Crete. The endemic species of Greece amount to 21 (91% of total species richness), with the remaining species distributing also in the Republic of North Macedonia. Currently, none of them is listed in the national, European or global IUCN Red Lists of Threatened Species. Considering the increasing habitat degradation due to anthropic pressure, groundwater harvesting and climate change we could lose rare and endemic species without even acknowledging their existence.
尽管希腊是全球地下生物多样性的热点地区，但从生态和保护的角度来看，其地下动物群在很大程度上被忽视了。本文以希腊所有已发表记录的注释列表形式，对希腊出现的仙女虾科进行了概述。这些记录形成了一份更新的物种列表，反映了希腊半岛的分类学修正和物种分布范围。目前已知希腊共有23种仙女虾，分属于3个属，其中特有种比例很高，尤其在克里特岛。希腊的特有物种有21种（占物种总丰富度的91%），其余物种也分布在北马其顿共和国。目前，它们均未被列入希腊、欧洲或全球自然保护联盟（IUCN）濒危物种红色名录。鉴于人为压力、地下水开采和气候变化导致生境退化加剧，我们可能会在尚未认识到其存在的情况下，就失去珍稀和特有物种。
