Santa Maria material examined. Maximum height 19.0 mm, width 10.0 mm. DBUA-F 946-3 (1), Ponta dos Cedros, Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.

Discussion. Unfortunately, the Azorean specimen is decorticated, giving the surface a somewhat different aspect to that usually attributed to this species. Nevertheless, the size, general shape, penultimate whorl with two strong cords, and the last whorl with strong varices and a long recurved P1 (terminology follows Merle 1999, 2001) at the shoulder are consistent with Favartia suboblonga (d’Orbigny, 1852) . For detailed description and discussion on the species, see Landau et al. (2009, 2013, 2019).
