First record of a Lessepsian migrant: the sea cucumber Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson, 1913. A single specimen of the Indo-West Pacific sea cucumber Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson, 1913 has been captured in 2017 in the Mediterranean Sea, Turkey, Iskenderun Bay, at 30 m depth. This specimen is here described, and the taxonomy of the species is briefly discussed. Despite the lack of timed biogeographic evidence, we here argue that H. hamata is a Lessepsian migrant; the first in its genus and only the second holothuroid.
海参Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson，1913年。2017年，在土耳其伊斯肯德伦湾地中海30米深处捕获了一只1913年的印度洋 - 西太平洋海参Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson。本文对该标本进行了描述，并简要讨论了该物种的分类学。尽管缺乏定时生物地理学证据，但我们在此认为H. hamata是一种莱氏移栖物种；这是其属中的首例，也是仅有的第二例海参类。
