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).
