Notes Reported from Greece by Simboura et al. (2010), found several times afterwards (HCMR, unpublished data). In the Mediterranean also known from Turkey ( Cinaret al. 2014) and the Adriatic Sea ( Munari et al. 2017). Chambers et al. (2011)doubt the validity of the Mediterranean records and the presence of the species in the Mediterranean (mainly on the basis of its Pacific distribution) but Le Garrec et al. (2016)present evidence of a wide distribution of the species in the Bay of Biscay, indicating that Chaetozone coronais an established alien species along the coasts of Europe and was probably introduced via shipping from its native distribution.
