3.1.2. Mediterranean published distribution, first record dates, and relevant notes

So far, Chama pacifica Broderip, 1835 records are limited to the eastern Mediterranean Sea (see Sciberras and Schembri, 2007; Zenetos et al., 2010a; Antit et al., 2011; Katsanevakis et al., 2011; Crocetta, 2012). A recent record of one C. pacifica juvenile specimen from the Thermaikos Gulf ( Manousis et al., 2010) has been a matter of debate, leading to divergent opinions. Zenetos et al. (2011) considered it as a misidentification (of another alien species - Chama aspersa Reeve, 1846 ), while Zurel et al. (2011) and Tzomos et al. (2012) accepted it as C. pacifica . Tzomos et al. (2012) stated the first record date from Greece in 2005 on the basis of the above-cited paper. Here, a more detailed examination of high-resolution color photos of this specimen allowed us to clarify the issue. Even if intraspecific variation within Chama species is high, the external sculpture with very weak and regular spines (usually more pronounced and less regular in C. pacifica ), the internal yellow color pattern (usually purplish in C. pacifica ), and the shape of the adductor muscle scars of the right valve (usually narrower and more elongated in C. pacifica ) clearly point to a juvenile of the native Chama gryphoides Linnaeus, 1758 . Published distribution, first record dates, and relevant notes are summarized in the Table and Figure 1c View Figure 1 .
