    ABSTRACT
    In this paper, some data about the presence of Apodemus sylvaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mammalia Rodentia Muridae) in rocky environments of the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains are provided. Considering the available data on the distribution of A. sylvaticus in Italy, this appears to be an unusual finding, which can be explained considering the strong reduction that the preferred environment by this species, the wooded areas, has suffered in the past by man and possible competitions with other forest rodents.

    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.
