Gattyana cirrhosa (Pallas, 1766)
Notes
Questionable status. In the Mediterranean only reported from Greece (
Bogdanos and Satsmadjis 1983
,
Bogdanos and Diapoulis 1984
,
NCMR 1989
), Spain (
Desbruyeres
et al. 1973
) and Italy (
Castelli et al. 2008
) otherwise known from boreal regions and cold water areas along the French and Spanish Atlantic coasts (
Dauvin et al. 2006
,
Nunez
et al. 2012
); its presence in the Mediterranean could not yet be confirmed (
Barnich and Fiege 2003
). It is easily confused with
Harmothoe antilopes
McIntosh, 1876, a species with similar elytral structures but different notochaetae (
Barnich and Fiege 2000a
).
