The invasive bivalve species Rangia cuneata is reported from brackish water at a fifth locality in The Netherlands (Fig. 1). The records for Europe are summarized. It remains unclear how the various occurrences that were reported within less than ten years, might be interconnected. Its transport by ballast water was already hypothesized on the basis of previous records and is supported by the present record in the port of Rotterdam.
