First record of alien gastropods Epitonium aranea Bonfitto, 2018 and Stosicia annulata (Dunker, 1860) (Mollusca) from the Mediterranean Sea

Abstract

In a benthic material taken from the Levantine coast of Türkiye, Epitonium aranea Bonfitto, 2018, a species previously known from the Red Sea only, and Stosicia annulata (Dunker, 1860) distributed in Japan Sea, Persian Gulf and Central and East Indian Ocean were recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. Along with two unknown species from the region, herein have also been dealing with Melanella sp., Oscilla virginiae Peñas, Rolán and Sabelli, 2020 and Zafra pumila (Dunker, 1860) which are poorly known species from the area, and some remarks of the taxonomy and distribution of the studied taxa are discussed.
