    ABSTRACT
    This work reports the first occurrence of Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Sauria Gekkonidae) populations in Piedmont (Italy), one in the city of Turin and the other in Valle Talloria, Cuneo Province. They represent two new northern mainland sites for the species, which likely arrived in these areas by indirect anthropic transport.
