Abstract

Four decapod species, Plesionika narval, Processa elegantula, Macropipus tuberculatus and Parthenope expansa are recorded for the first time from Cyprus. The crab, P. expansa is also recorded for the first time from the Levantine Basin. The geographical distribution of each species is given. The discovery of these four species raises the known decapod species number from Cyprus to 151.
