In this paper we record a species of the Inella group for the first time in the Pliocene Mediterranean with the description of Inella bentae spec. nov. from the Estepona Basin, and Inella spec. and Triphora (s. l.) freixiensis spec. nov. from the Mondego Basin.
Seventeen small species of gastropod are added to the fauna of the Lower Piacenzian Pliocene of Estepona, of which six are described as new: Skenea gofasi spec. nov., Papuliscala spinosa spec. nov., Narrimania saldubensis spec. nov., Ophieulima lobilloensis spec. nov., Talassia plioalboranensis spec. nov., and Specula estebbunensis spec. nov.
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.
