® Paraprionospio coora Wilson, 1990
DISTRIBUTION: NA, CA, SA.
LITERATURE RECORDS: Castelli et al. 2008.
NEW RECORDS: BM21, BM22, BM27, BM38, BM39, BM40, BM44, BM45, BM46, BM47, BM48, BM49, BM50, BM51, BM52, BM53, BM54, BM66.
OTHER REPORTED NAMES: Paraprionospio pinnata (Ehlers, 1901) .
REMARKS: These are the first records from the Adriatic Sea.
Recent studies (Yokohama et al. 2010; Simboura et al. 2010) showed that Paraprionospio specimens from the Turkish Aegean Sea, the Sea of Marmara, the Spanish Mediterranean coast and Greece, belong to Paraprionospio coora Wilson, 1990 , instead of P. Pinnata (Ehlers, 1901) , previously recognised as a cosmopolitan species being reported from various temperate and tropical waters in the world, including the Mediterranean, and suggested that the former records of P. pinnata from the Mediterranean are questionable. Northern Adriatic specimens analysed in this study are P. coora , thus it is supposed that previous records of P. pinnata in the CA and SA by Castelli et al. (2008) as well belong to that species.
