This species was first collected off Israel in 1961 and is now common along the Levantine coast. Recently a second alien xanthid species, Actaea savignii (H. Milne Edwards, 1834), was found off Israel and Turkey. A single adult specimen was collected in Haifa Bay in 2010, and two specimens were captured off Mersin, Turkey in 2011. Repeatedly reported from the Suez Canal since 1924, the record of the Levantine populations of A. savignii is a testament to the ongoing Erythraean invasion of the Mediterranean Sea.

In comparison to other crustacean groups, brachyuran crabs have been well studied in the Arabian Gulf (=Persian Gulf) (Stephensen, 1946; Apel, 2001; Titgen, 1982; Naderloo and Sari, 2007; Naderloo and Türkay, 2012).

  • Kimberley Crusaders – Part 1 June 7/2018 – 2,119Km (1,324Miles) from Home
    Kimberley Crusaders – Part 1 June 7/2018 – 2,119km (1,324miles) from home Hi welcome back everyone… Many of you have confirmed your anticipation in our travel tales ahead.
