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.

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).
