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 is <em>Ranilia</em> <em>constricta</em> (A. Milne Edwards, 1880) by Vazzana (2008). The studied specimens have been assigned, as follows: ?<em>Corallianassa</em> sp., <em>Dardanus</em> <em>arrosor</em> (Herbst, 1796), <em>Dardanus</em> <em>substriatus</em> (A. Milne Edwards, 1861), <em>Paguristes</em> cf. P. <em>syrtensis</em> de Saint Laurent 1970, <em>Anapagurus</em> sp., <em>Ranilia constricta</em> (A. Milne Edwards, 1880), <em>Ranina</em> <em>propinqua</em> Ristori, 1891, <em>Ebalia</em> cf. <em>E</em>. <em>deshayesi</em> Lucas, 1846,<em> Ilia nucleus</em> (Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Medorippe lanata</em> (Linnaeus, 1767), <em>Calappa granulata</em> (Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Pisa armata</em> (Latreille, 1803), <em>Derilambrus</em> cf. D. <em>angulifrons</em> (Latreille, 1825), <em>Atelecyclus</em> <em>undecimdentatus</em> (Herbst, 1783), <em>Carcinus</em> sp., <em>Pilumnus</em> <em>hirtellus</em> (Linnaeus, 1761), and <em>Xantho</em> cf. <em>X. incisus</em> (Leach, 1814). The studied assemblage enlarges our knowledge on the evolution of the Mediterranean decapod faunas.
