“…In fact, this sequence is now reassigned as K. sectatrix in the BOLD database. Two K. sectatrix sequences (BAHA219-08 and MFSP413-10) mentioned in the study by Mannino et al (2015) shared the same haplotype found in the present study with another 12 sequences identified as K. bigibbus (BIN:AAF3652).…”

“…As occurred with other warm-water affinity fishes found in Galician waters, K. vaigiensis was previously recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, where it was reported under the synonym, K. incisor (Azzurro et al 2013), a misidentification of K. sectatrix (Ligas et al 2011) finally clarified by Knudsen and Clements (2013), or with its current name (Mannino et al 2015). This seems to confirm a general and gradual northward displacement of these species in the eastern Atlantic, using the Gibraltar Strait as an escape valve in this migration to the north.…”

“…Therefore, the high intraspecific distance reported for K. vaigiensis (2.7%) could be due to misidentification or a case involving cryptic species. Mannino et al (2015) published an NJ tree of Kyphosus COI sequences constructed with a K2P model using data from GenBank to form a 627 bp alignment, which included sequence DSFFSG612-15, assigned to K. bigibbus. In the present work, the latter grouped with three K. sectatrix specimens (BIN:ACF1414), sharing the same haplotype.…”

“…Of these, 42 are assigned to species level and represent 5 species. Some barcodes from K. vaigiensis were obtained during the barcoding identification of marine fishes from Japan (Zhang and Hanner 2011) and in the identification of K. vaigiensis from the Mediterranean Sea (Mannino et al 2015). Se-quences of mtDNA-COI from K. cinerascens and K. vaigiensis have been obtained in relation studies aimed at resolving cryptic diversity in Indo-Pacific coral-reef fishes (Hubert et al 2012).…”

Summary:The taxonomic identification of one Kyphosus sectatrix and two Kyphosus vaigiensis specimens caught in the European Atlantic waters of Galicia, northwestern Spain, was carried out by means of integrative taxonomy, combining the examination of morphological characters and DNA barcodes. Taxonomical assignation based on morphological characters of these specimens was tested by comparing their COI sequences with available data of Kyphosus deposited in public repositories. The resulting neighbour-joining tree defined four clades corresponding to Barcode Index Number (BIN) and indicated that some nucleotide sequences from Kyphosus, previously deposited, probably originate from misidentified specimens, as would be expected from cryptic and sympatric species. The specimens of Kyphosus vaigiensis represent a new record for the waters of Galicia and the northernmost record in the eastern Atlantic. This kind of herbivorous tropical fishes could play an important role in the tropho-dynamic context of this temperate coastal ecosystem.Keywords: Kyphosus vaigiensis; Kyphosus sectatrix; molecular systematic; northern limit; Galician waters; ichthyogeography. Identificación de dos especies de Kyphosus (Perciformes: Kyphosidae) en aguas del Atlántico europeo mediante taxonomía integrativaResumen: Un ejemplar de Kyphosus sectatrix y dos de Kyphosus vaigiensis fueron capturados en aguas del Atlántico europeo, en Galicia, al noroeste de España. La identificación se llevó a cabo mediante taxonomía integradora, combinando el examen de caracteres morfológicos y códigos de barras de ADN. La asignación taxonómica basada en los caracteres morfológicos de estos especímenes fue testada comparando sus secuencias de COI con los datos de Kyphosus depositados en los repositorios públicos. El árbol filogenético resultante definió cuatro clados correspondientes al número de índice de códigos de barras (BIN), e indicó que algunas secuencias de nucleótidos de Kyphosus, previamente depositadas, provienen probablemente de especímenes identificados erróneamente, como cabría esperar de especies crípticas y simpátricas. Los especímenes de Kyphosus vaigiensis representan un registro nuevo para las aguas de Galicia y el más septentrional en el Atlántico oriental. La proliferación de peces tropicales herbívoros podría desempeñar un papel importante en el contexto trofo-dinámico del ecosistema costero templado.

“…Whether the introduction path to the Mediterranean Sea is the Suez Canal or the Straits of Gibraltar is still unclear (Mannino et al, 2015), but given that the species' juveniles are usually pelagic and are found associated with floating objects (Knudsen & Clements, 2016), its introduction should possibly be attributed to natural range expansion rather than dispersal due to human activities (Zenetos et al, 2012).…”

An updated overview of the marine alien and cryptogenic species recorded in the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy), based on relevant publications, grey literature and unpublished data, is presented and discussed. Altogether, 17 species (14 aliens and 3 cryptogenic) belonging to five taxa are present in the area: Rhodophyta (Antithamnionella elegans, Asparagopsis armata, Asparagopsis taxiformis, Bonnemaisonia hamifera, Botryocladia madagascariensis, Ceramium strobiliforme, Laurencia caduciramulosa, Lophocladia lallemandii, Neosiphonia harveyi, Womersleyella setacea), Chlorophyta (Caulerpa cylindracea and Caulerpa taxifolia), Mollusca (Aplysia dactylomela), Arthropoda (Percnon gibbesi) and Cordata (Fistularia commersonii, Kyphosus vaigiensis and Stephanolepis diaspros). The overall Mediterranean presence of one further taxon recorded from the area, Zygochlamys patagonica (Mollusca), is here confuted since recent findings of living specimens with certain data are missing. One loose valve of BPinctada imbricata radiata (Mollusca)^ was found in 2010 at Favignana, but we did not include it in the list of alien species, pending further finding of living or dead specimens. Unpublished distributional data are reported for someof these species, and their known distribution in the Aegadian Archipelago is mapped. Records of P. gibbesi (a conspicuous number of specimens) constitute the first for the archipelago. All the species included in the present paper were recorded after the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area was established, with the first record dating back to 2000. This is presumably due to the recent increase in research programs on marine reserves. Finally, we provide the establishment status of all the recorded species updated to 2015, and discuss why unaided spread (whether alien or native) and/or transport-stowaway constitute the more plausible vectors of introduction
