FIRST RECORD OF Jujubinus errinae OUTSIDE OF THE TYPE LOCALITY

Revision of formerly studied samples showed that the top-shell, Jujubinus errinae Smriglio et al., 2016, known so far only from the Strait of Messina, also occurs in the Ustica seafloors, southwestern Tyrrhenian Sea. Both areas are characterized by Laminaria rodriguezii kelp beds, which may represent an Atlantic-like habitat hosting J. errinae together with other benthic species having in the Strait of Messina their type locality.
