متن کاملTonicia atrata and Chiton cumingsii (Polyplacophora: Chitonidae): first records in European waters.
At present, over 300 species of marine alien Mollusca are reported from the European waters (Streftaris et al. 2005; Zenetos et al. 2010). However, only three alien polyplacophoran have been recorded: Chaetopleura angulata (Spengler, 1797), Acanthopleura gemmata (Blainville, 1825) and Chiton hululensis (E. A.
