Moreover, the range of geographical distribution of some species is expanded: the record of is the southernmost to date, while the records of and are the most northerly to date. The presence of other four species in Galician waters is confirmed and we document the permanence and range extension of two species recently introduced into our waters ( and ). urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F8D0ABEF-026E-4FC8-A947-6484249519FA.
