Two juveniles of Solemya togata (Poli, 1791) have been found in the marina of Gijón, Asturias. As only juveniles were found it appears the species has recently settled there. It is the first record from the Cantabrian Sea in more than a century and the first record from Asturias. Possibly, this is the northern limit of its distribution area.
