Abstract

The occurrence of the aristeid shrimp Hymenopenaeus debilis in the Mediterranean Sea is reported from two individuals collected in the Alborán Sea and off Eivissa (western Mediterranean) from depths of 668-679 and 1109-1140 m, respectively. Comments on the origin of the populations and biogeography of the species are related to the Mediterranean pseudopopulations hypothesis.
