You're mistaken. If you listen to any Italian news programs or read any Italian papers, you'll see, and/or hear, them refer to "Cosa Nostra" when they are talking about Sicilian mafia. If you're in Sicily, and around anyone talking about the mafia, they will use the term "mafia" as a reference to ALL the mafie in Italy and Sicily as well. "Mafie" being the plural of Mafia, because it refers to all groups.
