Notes
Reported from Greece by
Dando et al. (1995)
in an ecological species list as
Exogone ovalis
. In the Mediterranean also known from Lebanon (
Aguado and San
Martin
2007
) and Turkey (
Cinar
et al. 2014
), otherwise it has a circumtropical distribution (e.g.
San
Martin
1991
,
Nogueira et al. 2004
,
Boeggemann
and Westheide 2004
). The Eastern Mediterranean records make an occurrence of
Exogone breviantennata
in Greece likely, however, as it is very similar to the Mediterranean
Exogone verugera
(
Claparede
, 1868), (distinguished from the latter mainly by the presence of a dorsal cirrus on the second chaetiger (
Aguado and San
Martin
2007
)), additional specimens are needed to confirm its presence.
