Abstract
The grapsid crab Percnon gibbesi (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), not previously r ecorded in the Mediterranean, has been found by underwater observations in several localities of Linosa, Pelagie Islands, (Italy). This presence incre ases the list of alien Decapods in the Mediterranean, with a farm which can be considered a western migrant.
