We report two new forms of cirolanid isopods ascribed to <em>Palaega</em> sp. and <em>P. steatopigia</em> n. sp. (Cirolanidae) from the Middle Pliocene of Campore (Salsomaggiore Terme, Parma) and Monticelli di Quattro Castella (Reggio Emilia), Emilia Romagna, N Italy. This is the first record of <em>Palaega</em> Woodward, 1870, reported from the Middle Pliocene of Emilia Romagna and in the paleo-Adriatic Gulf. <em>Palaega</em> <em>steatopigia</em> n. sp. represents the third species described in Italy and in the Mediterranean area

A pinnotheroid pea crab (Pinnotheridae De Haan, 1833), is here reported from the Zanclean (early Pliocene) clays of a quarry located S-SW of Cassine (Alessandria, Piemonte, NW Italy). Though the studied specimen cannot be assigned to any genus within the Pinnotherinae (Pinnotheridae De Haan, 1833), it is the first record from the Pliocene of Italy and paleo-Adriatic Gulf, increasing the knowledge of the presence and fossil distribution of this family in the Mediterranean area.

In this paper, we provide the first record of the white prawn Palaemon longirostris, a palaemonid shrimp with socio–economic interests, in the northeastern coasts of Morocco, and the third confirmed record for the Mediterranean. Future surveys may increase its known range in the Mediterranean Sea.

A New Species

Benthic monitoring of the marine shallow bottoms off Menorca (Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean) has yielded several specimens of the leptostracan genus Paranebalia Claus, 1880. This finding constitutes the first report of the genus from European latitudes and the Mediterranean Sea and therefore the third leptostracan genus known from the Mediterranean. Specimens are described, illustrated and compared to other known species; they might represent a new species but their state of maturity and the lack of an appropriate diagnosis for the type species of the genus, Paranebalia longipes (Willemöes-Suhm, 1875), did not allow to confirm its taxonomic status.

Poa maroccana is an annual Mediterranean species, which is recorded for the first time from Sicily and for the whole Italian territory. It usually occurs in synanthopic habitats, represented mainly by urban and suburban roadsides, where it is quite sporadic. Based on current knowledge, it has been hitherto reported only in a few localities of the Mediterranean area, particularly in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Syria and Crimea. Field observations and herbarium investigations have shown that this species is often mistaken for P. annua, mainly due to its morphological similarities, as well as for the same ecological needs, therefore its real geographical distribution has yet to be verified. Although the two species are both tetraploids (2n = 28), they clearly differ for numerous relevant features concerning the shape and size of ligules, inflorescence, spikelet, glumes, palea, lemma, anthers, lodicules and seed. In order to better clarify the relationships of P. maroccana with P. annua and the other annual species of this genus occurring in the Mediterranean, its carefull a morphological description and iconography is provided, as well as a comparative morphological table of all allied species and also their analytical key for easy identification.

The buoy barnacle Dosima fascicularis is reported from Algerian waters for the first time. Seven specimens were collected in the Bay of Jijel (Western Mediterranean Basin), which constitutes the third record of this species in the Mediterranean Sea. A continuous monitoring program in the Mediterranean for this species is proposed to provide further insights into its distribution.

Abstract A small population of the circumholoarctic species Glaux maritima L. (Primulaceae) was discovered in the Mediterranean part of Croatia, on the bank of the River Zrmanja. This is the first record of G. maritima in SE Europe, and the third record in the Mediterranean, apart from in Spain and the Asian part of Turkey. It was found on the open riverbank within sub-halophytic vegetation, forming a small population of several dozen erect stems, most probably clonally propagated. The site is characterized by a periodic intrusion of seawater. We propose to classify this species as critically endangered (CR) on a national level due to the small population size and the fragile habitat, which requires active protection and conservation.
