REMARKS
The specimens from both stations have shells similar to that described by
Hoek (1883: 143)
with the carina very convex (
Fig. 28
).
Altiverruca obliqua
was redescribed and discussed by
Young (1998b: 46)
. It was first described from off Southwestern Spain (
Hoek 1883
) and subsequently recorded from the
Azores region
(
Young 1998b
, c) from depths between
1003 to 2788 m
. These new records agree with the previous distribution. They were collected south of the
Azores
Archipelago at depths of 945 and
1000 m
.
