Nine alien molluscan species are reported from the Calabrian shores of the Messina Strait area. Four of them, Haminoea cyanomarginata, Bursatella leachii, Melibe viridis and Brachidontes pharaonis, were previously known from the investigated area, even though from scarce findings. The questioned presence of Syphonota geographica in the Messina Strait is confirmed, while Cerithium scabridum, Aplysia dactylomela, Pinctada radiata and Fulvia fragilis are new records for the area. New sites of presence of C. scabridum and F. fragilis out of the Strait area are also reported and the distribution in the Italian seas of the nine alien species is reviewed. Some updates in LA CHECKLIST DELLA FAUNA MARINA ITALIANA should be necessary, according to the literature data and the results of the present work.
