  The predictions of our previous analyses about possible low-mass (lower than
50 GeV) relic neutralinos are discussed in the light of the most recent results
from WIMP direct detection experiments. It is proved that these light
neutralinos are quite compatible with the new annual-modulation data of the
DAMA Collaboration; our theoretical predictions are also compared with the
upper bounds of the CDMS and EDELWEISS Collaborations.
