Confirmation of Pteragogus trispilus Randall, 2013 (Labridae) with an Additional Record from Iskenderun Bay (Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey)

Abstract

Pteragogus trispilus Randall, 2013, previously known as Pteragogus pelycus, is a lessepsian migrant to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Reporting two specimens, this paper confirms the occurrence of the species in Iskenderun Bay (Eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey) in addition to the previous reports from the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. This report is the first observation for the location and; thus, fills a gap in the distribution range of the species. All measurements and counts as well as morphological and color descriptions of P. trispilus are given in the study.
