REMARKS
Atergatis roseus is distinguished from the Mediterranean xanthid species in its transversely oval, punctate carapace, with nearly entire, crested anterolateral margins. The carapace is a bright reddish-brown, and in younger specimens, it is rimmed with white. This record constitutes a westward extension of its range, as it was reported before only from southeastern Turkey ( Enzenross et al. 1990).
