For a long time, it was regarded as a synonym of Notospermus geniculatus (Delle Chiaje, 1822), but based on recent molecular phylogenetic study its status as a separate species is proposed and followed in this paper. A single specimen was recorded on 2nd October 2021 in a small bay near Opuće Village on Klek Peninsula. This finding contributes to the understanding of the species’ distribution in the Adriatic Sea and expands the knowledge of a scarcely known national marine fauna. This is also the first record of any Nemertea species in marine waters in Bosnia and Herzegovina.</dc:description><dc:date>2022</dc:date><dc:date>2026-07-31 16:27:03</dc:date><dc:type>Delo ni kategorizirano</dc:type><dc:identifier>31446</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 5</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.19233/ASHN.2022.21</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language><dc:rights>Imetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
