Santa Maria material examined. Maximum height 6.0 mm, max width 7.0 mm. DBUA-F 471-1 (1), DBUA-F 827-C (1) Ponta do Castelo, Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.

Description. Shell small, apex flattened, protoconch abraded, suture deeply impressed, linear. Last whorl rapidly expanding, with broad, flattened subsutural platform, convex below, bearing four strong cords: adapical cord delimiting subsutural platform, wider spaced than abapical three cords, cords ending as rounded digitation at outer lip. Strong irregular axial growth lines interrupt cords. Base convex umbilicate. Aperture rounded, filled with matrix.

Discussion. Two specimens are available from the Azorean material which are typical for the species. The spire is relatively low and the last whorl is not disjunct as seen in large gerontic specimens. For further discussion, see Landau et al. (2013, 2020b) and Ceulemans et al. (2018). Clathrella clathrata ( Philippi, 1844) is widespread and long-lived in the European middle Miocene to present-day.

Lower Pliocene: Atlantic, Santa Maria Island, Azores (this paper), NW France ( Ceulemans et al. 2018), Guadalquivir Basin, Spain (González Delgado 1988; Ruiz Muñoz et al. 1997; Landau et al. 2011); western Mediterranean, Roussillon Basin, France (Fontannes 1880); central Mediterranean, Italy ( Sacco 1896b; Forli et al. 1999; Chirli 2008; Brunetti & Cresti 2018); Tunisia ( Fekih 1975). Upper Pliocene: Atlantic, Mondego Basin, Portugal ( Silva 2001); western Mediterranean, Estepona Basin ( Landau & Micali, 2021), central Mediterranean, Italy ( Sacco 1896b; Caprotti 1970, 1976; Cavallo & Repetto 1992; Ragaini & Bernieri 2007; Brunetti 2014). Upper Pliocene-Pleistocene: Atlantic, northwestern France ( Brebion 1964). Lower Pleistocene: central Mediterranean, Italy ( Cerulli-Irelli 1914).
