Alien species Authors Lezzi & van Haaren assess the likelihood Protocirrineris stormae is introduced and write that "it cannot be ruled out that P. stormae sp. nov. is a pseudo-indigenous species, i.e., a non-indigenous species (NIS) having been perceived to be native in the locality where it was described, which was the Dutch waters, an easily accessible environment and a longstudied area, before being formally described in the native area [from which it arrived].
