Afonso, Carlos; Bonomolo, Giuseppe; Monteiro, Pedro; Bentes, Luis; Oliveira, Frederico; Veiga, Pedro; Rangel, Mafalda; Sousa, Inês; Leite, Laura; Gonçalves, J. M. S.Ocinebrina nicolai Monterosato, 1884 a marine mollusc belonging to the Muricidae family is reported from Algarve, south coast of Portugal for the first time and is a new record for the biodiversity of the Portuguese malacological fauna and northeastern Atlantic waters. This species with a medium-size shell for the genus (14–16 mm) was initially sampled during a baseline project that studied marine biotopes in the central Algarve region. This short note presents a brief diagnosis of the species, provides local information on geographical distribution, habitat, and compares it with other congeneric species found in Portugal: Ocinebrina aciculata (Lamarck, 1822) and Ocinebrina edwardsii (Payraudeau, 1826).
