Santa Maria material. Two specimens from Feteirinhas (= Ponta das Salinas), size unknown, Santa Maria Island, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene, not illustrated .

Discussion. Pseudomangelia vauquelini (Payraudeau, 1826) is characterised by its solid, squat, biconic profile, paucispiral protoconch and teleoconch whorls which are angular at the shoulder and have strong broad axial ribs. Mayer (1864: 68) records two specimens from Feteirinhas (= Ponta das Salinas). We cannot confirm its presence in the Azorean assemblages.

Chirli (1997: 73) recorded it from the Upper Miocene Tortonian of Montegibbio (Italy). This and other unillustrated records from the Miocene (e.g., Doderlein 1864; Mayer 1864; Bardin 1882) are excluded pending confirmation. For full discussion see Scarponi & Della Bella (2010).

Distribution. Lower Pliocene: Atlantic, Santa Maria Island (fide Mayer 1864); central Mediterranean, Italy (Chirli 1997; Scarponi & Della Bella 2010). Upper Pliocene: western Mediterranean, Estepona Basin, Spain (Landau et al. 2023); central Mediterranean, Italy (Brugnone 1862; Bellardi 1877; Sacco 1904; Malatesta 1974; Cavallo & Repetto 1992; Scarponi & Della Bella 2010; Brunetti & Cresti 2018). Lower Pleistocene: central Mediterranean, Italy (Cerulli-Irelli 1910). Present-day: Madeira (Segers et al. 2009), Selvagens (Albuquerque et al. 2009) and Canary Islands (Nordsieck & García-Talavera 1979), Morocco (Spada et al. 2023) western Mediterranean (Bucquoy et al. 1883), central Mediterranean (Bogi et al., 1979, Cachia et al. 2001), eastern Mediterranean (Özţrk 2021), whole Mediterranean (Spada et al, 2023).
