"This subcosmopolitan species was introduced into the Mediterranean Sea by fouling (Cormaci et al., 2004: 157; Verlaque et al., 2015: 132). In the Mediterranean Sea it was recorded by Verlaque & Tiné (1981: 17) from Toulon (France) as Anthitamnionella sarniensis %u201Csarniense%u201D Lyle, a species traditionally considered as its synonym."
