Single specimen, size not specified, from Ponta dos Mattos [ sic ], Santa Maria Island, Azores , Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene . Discussion. This species was recorded based on a single specimen from Ponta dos Matos.It is a very characteristic Miocene European Atlantic and Mediterranean species. Although no further specimens are at hand, we have no reason to doubt this determination. For full discussion, see Landau et al. (2013: 197) . Distribution. Lower Miocene:Atlantic (Burdigalian-Aquitanian): Aquitaine Basin, France (Peyrot 1928), Tagus Basin (Burdigalian), central-West Portugal ( Zbyszewski 1957 ). Middle Miocene: Atlantic (Langhian): Aquitaine Basin, France ( Grateloup 1845 ; Peyrot 1928); Paratethys (Langhian-Serravallian): Vienna Basin, Austria (Hörnes 1854; Hoernes & Auinger 1890), Poland ( Bałuk 1995 ), Hungary ( Strausz 1962 , 1966 ), Romania (Hoernes &Auinger 1890); Proto-Mediterranean Sea (Serravallian): Karaman Basin, Turkey ( Landau et al . 2013 ). Upper Miocene: Atlantic (Tortonian): Cacela Basin, Portugal (Pereira da Costa 1867), southwestern Spain , Seville ( Cárdenas et al . 2019 ); Proto-Mediterranean (Tortonian and Messinian): Po Basin, Italy ( Sacco 1904 ; Montanaro 1935 ; Venzo & Pelosio 1963 ). Lower Pliocene: Atlantic, Santa Maria Island, Azores ( Mayer 1864 ), Guadalquivir Basin, Spain ( González-Delgado 1989 ; Ruiz Muñoz et al. , 1997 ; Landau et al . 2011 ; Brunetti 2022 ), central Mediterranean, Italy ( Tabanelli 2014 ). Upper Pliocene: western Mediterranean, Estepona Basin, Spain (Muñiz Solis 1998).
