ABSTRACT
This note aims to do the first record of the vermetid gastropod Petaloconchus varians rafting on floating marine debris. This record of the occurrence of the species at Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is within its distribution range in the West Atlantic Ocean coast, however its distribution could be extended through antropogenic mechanisms. The dispersion of vermetids through floating debris should be investigated given the high potential of invasion by vermetids due to the increase in waste production

Keywords: Bioinvasion, coastal zone, Gastropoda, rafting, Vermetidae.

RESUMO
Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar o primeiro registro do vermetídeo Petaloconchus varians em lixo marinho flutuante. Esse registro de ocorrência da espécie na Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil) está dentro da extensão de sua distribuição na costa oeste do Oceano Atlântico, no entanto a sua distribuição pode ser ampliada através de mecanismos antropogênicos. A dispersão de vermetídeos através de lixo flutuante deve ser investigada, tendo em vista o grande potencial de invasão dos vermetídeos devido ao aumento da produção de lixo.

Palavras-chave: Bioinvasão, Gastropoda, rafting, Vermetidae, zona costeira.
