The presence of a well-established population of the corkwing wrasse, Symphodus melops (Linnaeus, 1758), is reported for the first time from the central Mediterranean Sea (southwestern Sicily). We discuss about the presence of the species in the area, with notes on its habitat, ecology and distribution.

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.
... We reported here the presence of a single specimen from the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. Symphodus melops (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Fig. S1G) is known as being relatively common only in the northern Adriatic Sea and along the southwestern coast of Sicily (Strait of Sicily) (Tiralongo and Tirnetta, 2018). Present observations suggest that this species is less rare than thought before, having been also observed in the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ionian Sea in a high number of specimens (up to 10 per dive); -Lobotes surinamensis (Bloch, 1790) (Fig. S1H) is a thermophilic and cosmopolitan species that registered a recent increase of presence and abundance in the entire Mediterranean Sea. ...

... Due to its central position in the Mediterranean, the island of Sicily represents a potential crossroads of the expansion pathways of NIS in the basin, also due to the proximity of the Strait of Sicily that facilitates the exchange of water masses and biota between the eastern and western sub-basins, and between Sicily and Tunisia that represents the western limit for many lessepsian species (Deidun et al. 2021;Mosbahi et al. 2021). Several non-indigenous marine crustaceans, both of lessepsian and west Atlantic origin, have been recorded from around the island: E. massavensis (SE Sicily: Corsini-Foka et al. 2017;Gianguzza et al. 2019;Ragkousis et al. 2023), Trachysalambria palaestinensis (Steinitz 1932) (SE Sicily: Insacco et al. 2017), Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896 (first finding in S Sicily: Lipej et al. 2017, followed by several other records from the island, see Castriota et al. 2024), P. aztecus (SE Sicily: Kampouris et al. 2018;Stern et al. 2019;S Sicily: Scannella et al. 2017;Ragkousis et al. 2023), P. segnis (S Sicily: Katsanevakis et al. 2020;Lampedusa, Strait of Sicily: Maggio et al. 2022;E Sicily: Ragkousis et al. 2023). ...
