“…In particular, the updated checklist reports four newly described species: Pseudodistoma valeriae Brunetti, 2009(Brunetti 2009, Ciona intermedia Mastrototaro, 2020(Mastrototaro et al 2020a, Botrylloides crystallinus Bay-Nouailhat, Bay-Nouailhat, Gasparini & Brunetti 2020(Bay-Nouailhat et al 2020, and Botryllus gaiae (Brunetti et al 2020). Furthermore, five species were recorded for the first time in marine units where they were not present before, thus expanding their geographical distribution: Aplidium tabarquensis Ramos-Esplá, 1991 (Ponti & Mastrototaro 2006, Petović et al 2018, Ecteinascidia turbinata Herdman, 1880 (Lezzi et al 2018, Ragkousis et al 2020, Diazona violacea Savigny, 1816 (Mastrototaro et al 2020b), Distaplia bermudensis Van Name, 1902(Orfanidis et al 2021 and Ciona edwardsi Roule, 1884 (Santin et al 2021). Seven new nonindigenous species were recorded along the Italian coasts: Didemnum vexillum Kott, 2002 (Tagliapietra et al 2012), Botrylloides giganteus (Pérès, 1949) (Brunetti & Mastrototaro 2017, Rocha et al 2019, Salonna et al 2021, Microcosmus anchylodeirus Traustedt, 1883 (Monniot 2016), Symplegma brakenhielmi (Michaelsen, 1904) (Mastrototaro et al 2019a), Aplidium accarense Millar, 1953(Montesanto et al 2021), Polyclinum constellatum Savigny, 1816(Montesanto et al 2022, Styela clava Herdman, 1881 (Mastrototaro et al 2022).…”

We present a data set reporting the checklist of the species belonging to the class Ascidiacea for the 9 Italian marine biogeographical units, updating the one previously published by Mastrototaro & Tursi in 2010. In detail, the updated checklist includes 138 taxa at species level (66 Aplousobranchia, 30 Phlebobranchia and 42 Stolidobranchia). Records refer to various marine habitats, including lagoons, harbours and semi-enclosed environments as well as deep habitats. The previous checklist reported 129 taxa (66 Aplousobranchia, 27 Phlebobranchia and 36 Stolidobranchia): in detail, 12 species were added, of which four newly described species, seven non-indigenous species and a new record for the Italian waters. On the other hand, three species reported in the previous checklist were removed: two because currently considered dubious, and one because its occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea is not actually confirmed. Finally, two species were renamed because they are considered synonyms of older ones and five species are currently accepted with new combinations. In addition, five species expanded their biogeographic distribution. The checklist data set will be dynamically updated with new records, and it will be freely available from Lifewatch Italy at https://www.lifewatchitaly.eu/en/initiatives/checklist-fauna-italiaen/checklist. This note describes the state of the art of the Ascidian checklist data set until February 2022.
