REMARKS

Specimens of Leucosia signata have been collected off the Mediterranean coast of Turkey ( Grippa 1982; Galil et al. 2002: 90, 186). Since the likelihood of encountering a stray incursion from the Red Sea is diminishingly small, recorded alien species are considered as “established” species that have self-maintaining populations of some duration in the Mediterranean Sea; subsequent records, like the present one, confirm the existence of a longestablished population in the region.
