Abstract

The first report of an accidental arrival of Centruroides gracilis (Latreille, 1804) in Italy is presented. A single adult male specimen was found in the harbour of Leghorn, in Tuscany. This clearly represents an isolated case of human agency by ships. However the stable population of Centruroides gracilis in the Canary Islands (Spain), also due to human carriage, indicates the opportunistic behaviour of this species, which provides it with the ability to colonize in overseas localities.
