We document for the first time the presence of Anapagurus Henderson, 1886 (Paguridae Latreille, 1802) with Anapagurus mamertinus n. sp., from the Pliocene of S. Antonio, Capo Milazzo (Sicily, S Italy). It is the first report of this genus from the Pliocene of Italy, enlarging the knowledge on its distribution in the palaeo-Mediterranean area. Anapagurus was known to date with a. sp. from the Pleistocene of Arda River (Emilia Romagna, N Italy).
