New data on 52 non-indigenous mollusks in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is reported.    Fossarus    sp. (    aff.   aptus   sensu  Blatterer 2019 ),    Coriophora   lessepsiana    Albano, Bakker &amp; Sabelli,  sp. nov. ,   Cerithiopsis   sp. aff.   pulvis  ,    Joculator   problematicus    Albano &amp; Steger,  sp. nov. ,    Cerithiopsis    sp.,    Elachisina    sp.,   Iravadia   aff.   elongata  ,    Vitrinella    aff.Vitrinella    sp. 1 (sensu  Blatterer 2019 ),    Melanella   orientalis   ,   Parvioris   aff.   dilecta  ,   Odostomia   cf.   dalli  ,    Oscilla   virginiae   ,    Parthenina   cossmanni   ,    Parthenina   typica   ,    Pyrgulina   craticulata   ,    Turbonilla   funiculata   ,    Cylichna   collyra   ,    Musculus   coenobitus   ,   Musculus   aff.   viridulus  ,    Chavania   erythraea   ,   Scintilla   cf.   violescens  ,    Iacra   seychellarum    and    Corbula   erythraeensis    are new records for the Mediterranean. An unidentified gastropod,   Skeneidae   indet.,    Triphora    sp.,    Hypermastus    sp.,    Sticteulima    sp.,   Vitreolina   cf.   philippi  ,    Odostomia    (s.l.) sp. 1,    Henrya    (?) sp., and   Semelidae   sp. are further potential new non-indigenous species although their status should be confirmed upon final taxonomic assessment. Additionally, the status of    Dikoleps   micalii   ,    Hemiliostraca   clandestina    comb. nov.  and    H.   athenamariae    comb. nov.  is changed to non-indigenous, range extensions for nine species and the occurrence of living individuals for species previously recorded from empty shells only are reported.    Opimaphora   blattereri    Albano, Bakker &amp; Sabelli,  sp. nov.  is described from the Red Sea for comparison with the morphologically similar    C.   lessepsiana    Albano, Bakker &amp; Sabelli,  sp. nov.  The taxonomic part is followed by a discussion on how intensive fieldwork and cooperation among institutions and individuals enabled such a massive report, and how the poor taxonomic knowledge of the Indo-Pacific fauna hampers non-indigenous species detection and identification. Finally, the hypothesis that the simultaneous analysis of quantitative benthic death assemblages can support the assignment of non-indigenous status to taxonomically undetermined species is discussed.

Numerous new records of tropical non-indigenous species in the Eastern Mediterranean highlight the challenges of their recognition and identification
