CARAPIDAE
Echiodon drummondii
Thompson, 1837
, was recorded firstly in the Mediterranean on the basis of a single specimen from the Adriatic Sea (
Arnold, 1956
). Reconsideration of this record is necessary since no successive works, including the influential world-wide revision of ophidiiform fishes (
Nielsen
et al
., 1999
), mention the Mediterranean as part of the geographical distribution of the species.
