Abstract

One known and four new fossil species of the genus Canariella are described from Lower Pliocene deposits from the northern Lanzarote Island and the northwestern portion of Fuerteventura Island, Canary Islands. These are proposed to belong to four different subgenera: three species are provisionally assigned to subgenera already described (Salvinia, Majorata), one to a new subgenus (Sphaerocanariella subgen. nov.), and one is of uncertain status. Their relationship to other taxa of the family Canariellidae on the Canary Islands and the Neogene of Europe is discussed.
