“…It has been recorded as an alien species in South Africa, New Caledonia, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. Since its first report in Europe (Sagres, Portugal, 1997) by Sala and Boix (2005), it has been expanding along coastal areas in south‐west Iberia and northern Morocco (Carbonell et al., 2012; Guareschi et al., 2013; Taybi et al., 2020), where it has become the dominant corixid in brackish and saline permanent water bodies (Céspedes et al., 2019; Rodríguez‐Pérez et al., 2009; Van de Meutter et al., 2010).…”
