description A preliminary checklist of the mollusks associated with the rocky littoral of Malecón de Santo Domingo is presented. The sampling consisted of an intensive search by niches in two localities selected on the basis of their heterogeneity and access. We preliminarily report 25 species, 19 genera and 14 families of mollusks, with gastropods being the most representative group in species. It is expected that future intensive and diverse sampling methodologies in the studied areas, and other locations, will increase the diversity reported in this note.
