Comments: Misidentification. Reports of the introduction of the Mytilopsis sallei in the Pacific and Indian Oceans based on Morton (1981) and Marelli & Gray (1983) overlook that Marelli & Gray (1985) reidentified the introduced species as Mytilopsis adamsi. The identity of the introduced species need to be confirmed.
