''Cumia intertexta'' reaches a maximum length of about {{convert|3|cm}} and is found in the southern part of the Mediterranean basin (including Sardinia, Sicily, Apulia, Calabria, and the North African coasts). Its distribution largely overlaps with that of ''[[Sparisoma cretense]]'' (Mediterranean parrotfish), although it may also feed on other fish species such as [[Gobiidae|gobies]], [[Scorpaenidae|scorpionfish]], [[Uranoscopidae|stargazers]], and [[Blenniidae|blennies]].{{cite journal|last1=Oliverio|first1=M.|last2=Modica|first2=M.
