Özet
The deep-sea portunid crab Bathynectes maravigna, previously known from the Aegean Sea coast of Turkey, is reported for the first time from Mersin Bay on the Levantine Sea coast of Turkey. The record is based on three adult males and two adult females collected by trawling on a sandy bottom at depths between 300 and 450 m in Mersin Bay.
