Abstract

Ammothella biunguiculata (Dohrn, 1881) türüne ait bir erkek birey Ağustos 2019 tarihinde 1.0 m derinlikten Fethiye Körfezi’nden tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, A. biunguiculata Fethiye Körfezi’nden ve Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyılarından ilk kez, doğu Akdeniz’den ise ikinci kez rapor edilmektedir. Bu kayıt, doğu Akdeniz’de türün bilinen dağılımını Ege Denizi’nden Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyılarına kadar genişletmektedir. Türün fotoğraf ve çizimi ile birlikte doğu Akdeniz’deki dağılımı çalışmada sunulmuştur.

Ammothella biunguiculata (Dohrn, 1881) (Arthropoda, Pycnogonida): A Sea Spider New for the Mediterranean Coast of Türkiye

Abstract

A male specimen of Ammothella biunguiculata (Dohrn, 1881) is found in Fethiye Bay (Mediterranean coast of Türkiye) at 1.0 m depth in August 2019. A. biunguiculata is recorded the first time from the Fethiye Bay and the Turkish Mediterranean coast of Türkiye and also the second time from the eastern Mediterranean Sea in this paper. The report further extends the known distribution of this species from the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean coast of Türkiye in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
