The species was recently rejected by Crocetta et al. (in press - Aquatic Invasions) from the Greek alien fauna. Are there any valid records of the species in Europe? In WORMS, there is a record from Israel by Barash & Danin (1972), but do not know whether their record is valid. Should the species be retained in the EASIN Catalogue (currently cited as "alien" status)?

From Dr. Fabio Crocetta: "Actually there are no convincing records of this species from the Mediterranean Sea. I suggest to exclude it from the Mediterranean alien fauna."
