DISTRIBUTION: NA, CA.
LITERATURE RECORDS: Barnich & Fiege 2000, 2003. NEW RECORDS: BM13.
®? Harmothoe glabra (Malmgren, 1865)
DISTRIBUTION: NA.
NEW RECORDS: BM52, BM53, BM54.
REMARKS: These are the first records from the Adriatic Sea. However, the identification is uncertain and in need of verification. According to Chambers & Muir (1997) H. glabra occurs in the North East Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, while Barnich & Fiege (2003) consider the presence of this species in the Mediterranean as uncertain. Harmothoe glabra has been often confused or synonymized with H. longisetis (Grube, 1863), but according to Barnich & Fiege (2000) the two species should be considered as distinct. Due to the confusion between the two taxa, all literature records of these species in the Mediterranean Sea and North-Eastern Atlantic are doubtful and need to be confirmed (Barnich & Fiege 2000, 2003).

LITERATURE RECORDS: Fauvel 1938; Vatova 1940a; Laubier 1962; Banse 1970; Požar-Domac 1978, 1983, 1986, 1994; Zahtila 1995; Gabriele et al. 1999; Zavodnik & Kovačić 2000; Zavodnik et al. 2006; Simonini et al. 2007. NEW RECORDS: BM42.
Harmothoe impar (Johnston, 1839)
DISTRIBUTION: NA, CA, SA.
LITERATURE RECORDS: Stossich 1876, 1883; Carus 1884; Graeffe 1905; Fauvel 1938; Katzmann 1972, 1973a, 1973f; Matjašić & Štirn 1975; Igić 1982; Amoureux 1983a; Fassari 1983; Katzmann 1983; Požar-Domac 1983; Zavodnik & Vidaković 1987; Požar-Domac 1994; Zahtila 1995; Maggiore 2002; Castelli et al. 2008. OTHER REPORTED NAMES: Evarnella impar Johnston, 1839; Harmothoe reticulata (Claparède, 1870); Polynoe reticulata Claparède, 1870.
REMARKS: Due to the confusion of H. impar with other similar taxa (H. aspera (Hansen, 1879), H. bellani Barnich & Fiege 2000, H. extenuata (Grube 1840), H. fragilis Moore, 1910, H. gilchristi Day, 1960, H. goreensis Augener, 1918 and H. pagenstecheri Michaelsen, 1896), the previous records of these species in the Mediterranean and North East Atlantic are doubtful and need to be confirmed (Barnich & Fiege 2003). The previous records of H. reticulata (Claparède, 1870) in the Adriatic should be referred to H. impar.
? Harmothoe johnstoni (McIntosh, 1876)
DISTRIBUTION: NA, SA.
LITERATURE RECORDS: Laubier 1962; Požar-Domac 1983, 1994; Crema et al. 2001; Simonini et al. 2007; Castelli et al. 2008.
REMARKS: Tebble & Chambers (1982) considered Evarne johnstoni McIntosh, 1876 indeterminable, as the type specimen lacks elytra and the description is insufficient to characterize the taxon.
