Santa Maria material examined. Maximum diameter 18.0 mm. DBUA-F 926-1 (1), Malbusca 2 (internal mould), Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.

Description. It is not possible based on the Azorean material. For description of fossil specimens see Landau et al. (2004a: 71).

Discussion. As discussed by Landau et al. (2004a, 2013, 2020), this species has an extremely variable shell in both profile and sculpture. Having said this, the size and position of the protoconch varies between populations and it is possible that it represents a species complex rather than a single taxon (B. Landau pers. obs.). Either way, the Azorean material consist of a single internal mould, which we can be ascribed to the genus Calyptraea based on the oblique linear groove left by the internal septum, quite unlike the horse-shoe shaped septum of Cheilea species, which also occurs in the Azores and is the only species with which this could be confused.
