First Record of the Marine Heterobranch Spinoaglaja wildpretii (Ortea, Bacallado & Moro, 2003) (Cephalaspidea: Aglajidae) in Sicily (Ionian Sea) with Notes on Its Biology and EcologyLombardo, Andrea (Avtor) Marletta, Giuliana (Avtor) Head-shield marine slugsHeterobranchiaIonian SeaPhilinoideasea slugsThe present note documents the first report of the Aglajidae Spinoaglaja wildpretii along the central-eastern coast of Sicily, a coastal stretch which has been recently examined regarding marine heterobranchia fauna. This rare sea slug was found discontinuously in its distribution range by both enthusiasts and specialists (Canary Islands and Mediterranean Sea) from the time of its description until today. In this short note, all the available biological and ecological information about S. wildpretii is here reviewed and discussed. From resumed and new data about this species, it can be hypothesized that S. wildpretii can be a generalist marine heterobranch species, having been found in very ubiquitous habitats during most of the months of the year and in a large range of temperatures.20232026-07-10 09:06:05Delo ni kategorizirano31017UDK: 5DOI: 10.19233/ASHN.2023.32slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
