Remarks

Mitogenomic analyses revealed that the populations of A. josephinae from Boa Vista and the alleged ones from the north of Maio Island actually are not conspecific ( Abalde et al. 2017a). This led to the introduction of a new species, which was formally described as A. angeluquei based upon shell and radula morphological studies and examination of its mitogenome sequence ( Tenorio et al. 2018). However, the name A. perrineae was almost simultaneously introduced in a rather succinct description for exactly the same species, and was published one week earlier than A. angeluquei , becoming the senior name for this species ( Cossignani & Fiadeiro 2018b). In spite of this, a wealth of useful information about this taxon can be found in the detailed original description of A. angeluquei ( Tenorio et al. 2018) .
