May be this should be deleted or included as questionable. See here: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=761689

Amphicorina pectinata was re-described based on the specimens collected along the Italian coasts by Giangrande et al. (1999) [Ital. J. Zool., 66. 195-203] and some notes on this species can also found in the paper by Mikac et al. (2013) [J. Mar. Biol. Ass. UK, 93: 1511-1524]. In the website "http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=761689", no comparison was made between the specimens from the type locality and the Mediterranean, and comments given by the editor seem to be speculative rather than realistic, so A. pectinata should be considered as a casual alien species in the Mediterranean Sea, at least at the time being.
