Abstract: The genus Zebrus de Buen, 1930 has been considered monotypic. Recently it was shown that a second species of this genus, Zebrus pallaoroi Kovačić, Šanda & Vukić, 2021, was overlooked alongside Z. zebrus (Risso, 1827). Currently, Z. pallaoroi is known from a few locations in the eastern Mediterranean and from locations along the Mediterranean coast of France in the western Mediterranean. In this study, I document first records of Z. pallaoroi from Italy and Slovenia; the Slovenian record is the northernmost for this species in the Mediterranean.
