Measurements.
5–6 whorls, H=5.0–7.0 mm, D=5.5–8.0 mm (n=4).
Remarks.
The present material compares well with
S. carvalhoi
. This species can be readily told apart from the local congener
Solariella quinni
Barros & Pereira
in
Barros
et al.
, 2008
(
Fig. 9
D–G - see below) mainly by its larger and proportionally wider shell, its much wider umbilicus (
Fig. 9 C
), which was correctly emphasized by
Lopes & Cardoso (1958)
, its more delicate axial and much stronger spiral sculpture (
Fig. 9
A–B). The two remaining local congeners,
S. quadricincta
Quinn, 1992
and
S. staminea
Quinn, 1992
, were considered junior synonyms of
S. carvalhoi
by
Cavallari
et al.
(2016)
. Their study was based on a large sample, which revealed that both morphotypes (
S. quadricincta
and
S. staminea
) fall within a continuum of conchological variation.

Measurements.
5 whorls, H=

, D=

(largest specimen).
Remarks.
The present specimens compare well with the
type
material. The species can be readily diagnosed by the sculpture pattern on the whorl shoulder (
Fig. 9 E
) and base, as well as by the narrow, internally smooth umbilicus (
Fig. 9 F
). This species is similar to
S. lacunella
(
Dall, 1881
)
from the Caribbean, but can be distinguished from it by: (1) being much smaller (H=~
4.2 mm
, as opposed to
8.5 mm
in
S. lacunella
); (2) presenting an overall stronger axial sculpture with conspicuous axial ribs on the whorl shoulder, and weaker spiral sculpture with narrower cords, especially on the base; (3) having a more convex base; and (4) presenting a much narrower umbilicus. The records presented here greatly expand the species range ~
1,200 km
southward to
Espírito Santo
state. The maximum depth for the species is also updated herein from
71 to
620 m
.
Solariella quinni
was originally described by
Barros
et al.
(2008)
. The subsequent paper by the senior author (
Barros 2010
) is an almost entirely verbatim repetition of the previous version and is herein considered a re-publication, even though it does not contain a reference to the former.
