Abstract
This Collective Article presents information on 22 species belonging to 5 Phyla, arranged geographically from west to east.
The new records were found in 8 countries as follows: Spain: first record of the two scarcely known nemerteans Baseodiscus de-
lineatus and Notospermus geniculatus in Formentera; Malta: second record of the alien fish Lagocephalus sceleratus; Italy: the
alien polychaete Syllis pectinans and the isopod Paranthura japonica, as well as the cryptogenic opisthobranch Anteaeolidiella
lurana, were found in the fouling assemblages along the docks of the port of Livorno. New decapod records are reported from
Sicily (the alien Callinectes sapidus and the native Pachygrapsus maurus) and Apulia (Percnon gibbesi and Procambarus clarkii);
the lesser amberjack Seriola fasciata extended its geographical range to the Egadi Isands and Siganus luridus was documented for
the first time along the Ionian coasts of Apulia and Calabria. Slovenia: the first record of the alien bivalve Brachidontes pharaonis
is reported, together with a survey of up to date Adriatic records. Greece: the first record of the gastropod Rhinoclavis kochi is
reported from Gavdos island. In addition, two records of endangered and rare cartilaginous fish were reported, namely, the shark
Hexanchus griseus and the ray Leucoraja fullonica, as well as additional records of Siganus luridus for Lesvos and Malleus regula
and Fulvia fragilis from Astypalaia. Turkey: the black wing flyingfish Hirundichthys rondeletii is reported for the very first time
from the Black Sea. Egypt: the Indo-Pacific crab Halimede ochtodes is reported as established in Port Said. In addition, biometric
parameters and meristic counts are reported for Anthias anthias in Damietta. Cyprus: the alien opisthobranch gastropod Bursatella
leachii is reported for first time.
