According to EASIN, three Champsodon species invaded the Mediterranean Sea (C. capensis, C. nudivittis and C. vorax). This is confirmed by the recent literature e.g.: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1439-0426.2012.02019.x/pdf However, Galil & Goren (2014) only reported one species - Champsodon nudivittis (Ogilby, 1895) - without discussing why they did not report the other two. Is there an article where somebody considered all the Mediterranean records as belonging to C. nudivittus, or Galil & Goren (2014) simply forgot the two other species?

Galil claims (I have attended a presentation by her in 2012) that we deal with one species only in the Mediterranean and the taxonomic status is unclear. Until there is a publication sorting out the situation, we leave it as it is (3 species).

The discussion is put on hold waiting new scientific evidence. No changes to the Catalogue for the time being.
