We report a coral-associated decapods from the early Messinian (Late Miocene) of Acquabona, Rosignano Marittimo, Livorno (Toscana, Italy). This study allowed to identify these species, as follows: Galathea cfr. G. squamifera Leach, 1814 (Galatheidae Samouelle, 1819), Pisi-dia kokayi (Müller, 1974) (Porcellanidae Haworth, 1825), Pilumnus cfr. P. mediterraneus (Lőrenthey, 1897) (Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819), Actaea calzadai Müller, 1984, Xantho moldavicus (Yanakevich, 1977), Haydnella cfr. H. steiningeri Müller, 1984, and Liomera bagaglioi n. sp. (Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838). The studied fauna has some affinities with the Miocene faunas of Mediterranean area, especially with the fauna from the Neogene of Catalonia (Spain). It is the first report of coral-associated decapods from the Miocene of Italy.
