Notes

Species complex. The exact distribution of the species in the Mediterranean is still unknown. Frequently reported from Greece in ecological lists but Barnich and Fiege (2003) consider their record of the species from the Western Mediterranean to be the first from the region. Barnich and Fiege (2010) state the distribution of the species to be "Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic and North Pacific". Eunoe nodosa has recently been shown to constitute a species complex comprising at least two cryptic species in the Arctic Ocean ( Carr et al. 2011); whether the Greek specimens belong to either of these or to a different species is currently unknown.
