Abstract
The Mediterranean Sea, a semi-closed basin, hosts a unique biodiversity. Since the opening of the Suez Canal and the increase in maritime traffic, it has become one of the regions of the world most impacted by invasions of non-native species, and harbors play an important role in this phenomenon: they are the gateways that offer non-native species a way of entry and diffusion. This paper reports the first records in the Mediterranean Sea of the Indo-Pacific species Okenia pellucida Burn, 1967 (Goniodorididae), from two localities in the Southern part of the basin. Seven specimens were collected in Regatta Bay, east of the port of Tripoli (Libya); four additional individuals have been reported from Il-Fekruna, Malta.
