Abstract

The mantis shrimp Rissoides pallidus (Giesbrecht, 1910) is among the rarely reported crustacean species in the Central Mediterranean Sea. In December 2020, during a trawl survey off Mazara del Vallo harbour (Strait of Sicily), two specimens of R. pallidus were captured on coastal detritus and coastal terrigenous mud bottoms at about 132 and 152 m depths. This current note, therefore, updates the existing knowledge of R. pallidus in the Strait of Sicily. Additional information specific to biometrics, bottom types, depth preference, habitats, and geographic distribution of this crusta-cean species are provided.
