On the occurrence of two brachyurans, Myra subgranulata and Herbstia condyliata, on Rhodes Island (SE Aegean Sea)

Two brachyurans, the Erythrean Myra subgranulata (Leucosiidae) and the Atlanto-Mediterranean Herbstia condyliata (Majidae); were collected from the NE coast of Rhodes Island. The first species' occurrence represents a new record for Greek waters and is the result of a gradual westward extension of its distribution along the eastern Mediterranean coasts, after its immigration from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. The second species' record is new for Rhodes.
