title: The decapod fauna (Axiidea, Anomura, Brachyura) from the Late Pleistocene of Trumbacà, Reggio Calabria (Calabria, southern Italy).
abstract: We report a rich faunal assemblage from the Tyrrhenian (Late Pleistocene) of Trumbacà, located in the southern area of Reggio Calabria (Calabria, southern Italy). The only brachyuran reported to date from this locality isRanilia constricta(A. Milne Edwards, 1880) by Vazzana (2008). The studied specimens have been assigned, as follows: ?Corallianassasp.,Dardanus arrosor(Herbst, 1796),Dardanus substriatus(A. Milne Edwards, 1861),Paguristescf.P. syrtensisde Saint Laurent 1970,Anapagurussp.,Ranilia constricta(A. Milne Edwards, 1880),Ranina propinquaRistori, 1891,Ebaliacf.E. deshayesiLucas, 1846,Ilia nucleus(Linnaeus, 1758),Medorippe lanata(Linnaeus, 1767),Calappa granulata(Linnaeus, 1758),Pisa armata(Latreille, 1803),Derilambruscf.D. angulifrons(Latreille, 1825),Atelecyclus undecimdentatus(Herbst, 1783),Carcinussp.,Pilumnus hirtellus(Linnaeus, 1761), andXanthocf.X. incisus(Leach, 1814). The studied assemblage enlarges our knowledge on the evolution of the Mediterranean decapod faunas.
