“…In Italy, it was recorded in the Ligurian Sea, the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea (e.g. Sordi & Majidi 1956;Macali et al 2013;Trainito & Doneddu 2015;Zenetos et al 2016), whilst its presence in "sector 5" (south-eastern tip of Sicily, Pelagie Islands, and the Maltese archipelago) listed by Cattaneo-Vietti and Giovine (2008) refers to Malta (see Sammut & Perrone 1998).…”

The marine biodiversity of the Tricase coastal area (Ionian Sea, Italy) was investigated at the MARE Outpost (Avamposto MARE) between 2016 and 2017, with the help of citizen scientists and trained taxonomists. Among the most interesting groups encountered, heterobranch molluscs deserve a special mention. Altogether, 268 specimens were ascribed to this group and referred to 49 taxa. Notwithstanding the extensive literature on Mediterranean heterobranchs, two species proved to be new to the Italian coasts, the records of eight species represented their easternmost sightings in the Mediterranean Sea, and 13 taxa represented new records for the Ionian Sea. In addition, several feeding habits and phenological events were new to science. Although the European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive lists "Biodiversity is maintained" as the first descriptor in achieving "Good Environmental Status", our results highlighted the presence of conspicuous gaps in the knowledge of species distribution, taxonomy and ecology of heterobranch molluscs, indicating the necessity of even smallscale species checklists to understand biodiversity changes in worldwide biota.

“…During the last century this species has been found in different tropical and temperate waters of the world: Mozambique (Macnae, 1954), Tanzania (Willan, 2004), Ghana (Edmunds, 1977), Australia (Willan, 1987), Morocco (Atlantic Ocean) and the Strait of Gibraltar (Cervera et al, 2010). In the Mediterranean Sea, apart from the Strait of Gibraltar (Bay of Algeciras), this nudibranch has been reported also along the coasts of France (Étang de Thau) (Crocetta & Malegue in Gerovasileiou et al, 2017) and in several coasts of Italy: in the Fusaro lake in the Gulf of Naples (Cattaneo-Vietti et al, 1990), in the Sabaudia lake near Latina (Macali et al, 2013), at Noli in the Ligurian Sea (Betti et al, 2015), in the North Adriatic, among the coasts of Ravenna (Zenetos et al, 2016), and in the Faro lake in Sicily (Furfaro et al, 2018). In the coasts of Noli and Ravenna this species appeared only temporary (Betti et al, 2015;Zenetos et al, 2016), while in the lakes of Fusaro and Faro G. quadricolor still forms stable populations (Villani & Martinez, 1993;Furfaro et al, 2018).…”

Presence of the alien species Godiva quadricolor (Barnard, 1927) (Gastropoda Nudibranchia Facelinidae) along the coast of eastern Sicily

This work explores the second report of the alien nudibranch Godiva quadricolor (Barnard, 1927) (Gastropoda Nudibranchia Facelinidae) in eastern Sicily (Italy). Previously, this species has been found only in the area of Faro Lake (Messina), where now there is a significant population. The specimen here reported was sighted while diving in Santa Maria La Scala (Acireale, Catania) near a fresh water source. In fact, as it has been claimed by other authors, there is a strong correlation between this species and the brackish water areas. This work argues that this specimen has been brought to this area either by the Strait of Messina currents or by fishing boats, which dock at a small port in the study area. Since this is a species which easily adapts to different environmental conditions and feeds on other nudibranchs, G. quadricolor propagation could be a great threat to indigenous biodiversity.

“…However, expanding populations from Lago di Sabaudia and Lago Fusaro (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) were established in 2007 (Crocetta et al, 2013). Macali et al (2013) even reported Haloa japonica replacing native populations of Haminoea spp. in the Laguna di Sabaudia.…”
