Abstract

The subgenus Simplicula Ponte-Lira & M. R. Alonso, 1997 in the genus Canariella P. Hesse, 1918 is elevated to the rank of a genus and seven new fossil taxa of the group are described from Pliocene and Pleistocene to Holocene deposits from the North of Lanzarote, La Graciosa, and the North, West and Northwest of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. Their relationship to other taxa of the family Canariellidae on the Canary Islands and in the West-Mediterranean region as well as with fossil species from continental Europe placed in the genus Canariella is discussed.

The fossil Strombidae (Gastropoda) from Vanuatu (= Nouvelles-Hébrides) described by Abrard, 1947

Basteria, 86 (2): 88-95Published:

Abstract

The taxonomic status of the fossil Strombidae recorded by Abrard (1947) from Vanuatu (formerly New Hebrides) is re­viewed and updated. One of the species is described here as Canarium (Elegantum) stoutjesdijki spec. nov. For the pre­occupied name Strombus minimus var. minor Abrard, 1947, Ministrombus abrardi nom. nov. is introduced. Strombus (Canarium) praegibberulus Abrard, 1947 is considered a junior synonym of Gibberulus gibbosus (Röding, 1798).

Basteria, 84 (1/3): 26-57Published:

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.
