Abstract

A new alien pilumnid, Actumnus globulus, is reported from the Mediterranean Sea, off Punta Ala, Italy. The species is known from the Red Sea and the East African coast. The opportunity is taken here to redescribe the adult morphology, illustrate it, and, for the first time, figure the male pleopod.
