%X Two specimens of Neorossia caroli have been recorded for the first time in the central Adriatic Sea. They were caught in summer 2004 with a bottom-trawl net during a single tow at depths between 449 and 594 m in Croatian waters. Up to now N. caroli has never been found in the central Adriatic area. This finding represents a northernmost extension in the known range of the species N. caroli in the Adriatic Sea. Recorded specimens were both adult and mature males with mantle lengths of 42 and 37 mm. They counted 21 and 16 spermatophores, respectively. The measurements from both individuals are reported, including beak standard dimensions.
