Abstract

The occurrence of the portunid Callinectes sapidus is documented for the first time
\nfrom Libyan waters. The record fills a gap of knowledge concerning the distribution
\nof this non-indigenous crab of Atlantic origin, that currently has invaded almost all
\nthe Mediterranean basin. Recent records of the Lessepsian crab Portunus segnis,
\nalready known from Libyan waters, ascertain furthermore its establishment within
\nand its range expansion along the coastline of the country.
