    ABSTRACT
    The Italian cave salamander Hydromantes italicus Dunn, 1923 (Caudata Plethodontidae) is an eutroglophilic amphibian found along the Appennines from Emilia-Romagna to Abruzzo, however the available bibliography shows inconsistencies in distribution data. Herein we provide an updated distribution of the species, with new records and the first detection for Latium in the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park in the Province of Rieti.
