Abstract

In this paper we update the systematic taxonomy of papers published by our team between 2000-2009 dealing with the Pliocene of Estepona. Four species are described as new, Rimula lobilloensis spec. nov., Macromphalina aline­mulderae spec. nov., Euthriofusus postumus spec. nov., and Andonia wilhelminamariae spec. nov., of which the last also occurs in the Pliocene of Italy. Several new sub­jective synonyms are identified: Cymbium gracile lusitanica Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is junior subjective synonym of Cymbium ibericum Landau & Marquet, 2000. Bolma malakensis Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Bolma castrocarensis (Foresti, 1876). Tribia pliogeometrica Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Tribia hispanica Brunetti, Forli & Vecchi, 2006. Scaphella (Auri­nia) josei Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is junior subjective synonym of Euroscaphella carlae (Landau & Silva, 2006). Pisania plioalboranensis Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is junior subjective synonym of Pisania plioangustata (Sacco, 1904). Columbella sphaerica Lozano­-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a secondary homonym of C. sublachryma var. sphaerica Hervier, 1900, and here considered a junior subjective synonym of Columbella castoris Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006. Pisania baetica Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Pisania magna (Foresti, 1868). Bullia eloisae Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2006 is a junior subjective synonym of Tritia oblonga (Sassi, 1827). Nassa andonae Bellardi, 1882 is taken out of synonymy with N. producta Bellardi, 1882.
