Santa Maria material examined. Maximum height 1.5 mm, width 4.5 mm. DBUA-F 828-3 (1), Ponta dos Frades; DBUA-F 827-F (2), Ponta do Castelo, Santa Maria Island, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene.

Description. (UC = umbilical crenae, PUR = proxumbilical rib, UPR = upper peripheral rib, LPR = lower peripheral rib, IPR = infraperipheral rib. Terminology follows Bieler 1993: 9, 117, fig. 91). Shell medium sized, relatively solid, architectoniform. Dorsum depressed, weakly convex in profile, sharply angled at LPR, base flattened, umbilicus deep, moderately narrow. UPR and IPR moderately developed, weaker than LPR that forms periphery of last whorl. UC well developed, forming narrow crenulate margin of umbilicus, sharply delimited by groove laterally, weaker plicae radiating from basal groove to about mid-base, PUR not developed. Rest of surface smooth apart from strongly prosocline growth lines.

Discussion. Generic placement seems controversial. Bieler (1985) placed the Solarium simplex species group in the genus Philippia J.E. Gray, 1847 , subgenus Psilaxis Woodring, 1928 , which was later raised to full generic rank by Bieler (1993). This taxonomic placement was confirmed by Bieler to Moths et al. (2010: 81). However, Italian authors place it in the genus Basisulcata Melone & Taviani, 1985 (type species Philippia lepida Bayer, 1942 , present-day, Mediterranean). Psilaxis simplex ( Bronn, 1831) is widespread in the European Miocene and Pliocene assemblages and varies greatly is size and shape. The Azorean specimens are relatively small but otherwise typical for the species.

Distribution. Lower Miocene: Atlantic (Aquitanian and Burdigalian), Aquitaine Basin, France (Cossmann & Peyrot 1919; Lozouet et al. 2001); Proto-Mediterranean Sea (Burdigalian), Colli Torinesi, Italy ( Michelotti 1841 b; Sacco 1892 b); Paratethys (Aquitanian and Burdigalian), Austria ( Harzhauser 2002). Middle Miocene: North Sea Basin (late Burdigalian-Langhian), Belgium ( Glibert 1952b), Germany ( Anderson 1960, 1964; A.W. Janssen 1967; Wienrich 2007; Moths et al. 2010), Netherlands ( Nordsieck 1972a; A.W. Janssen 1984); Atlantic (Serravallian), Aquitaine Basin, France (Grateloup 1846; Cossmann & Peyrot 1919), (Langhian), Loire Basin ( France ( Glibert 1949); Paratethys (Langhian-Serravallian), Austria (Hörnes 1856), Bulgaria ( Kojumdgieva & Strachimirov 1960), Hungary ( Csepreghy-Meznerics 1954; Strausz 1962, 1966), Poland (Friedberg 1923; Bałuk 1975), Ukraine ( Zelinskaya et al. 1968); north- eastern Atlantic, Azores ( Ferreira 1955); Proto-Mediterranean Sea (Serravallian), Karaman Basin, Turkey (Erünal-Erentöz 1958; Landau et al. 2013). Upper Miocene: northeastern Atlantic (Tortonian), Cacela Basin, Portugal ( Dollfus et al. 1903), Seville southwestern Spain ( Cárdenas et al. 2019); Proto-Mediterranean Sea (Tortonian), Po Basin, Italy ( Sacco 1892 b). Lower Pliocene: Atlantic, Santa Maria Island, Azores (Bronn in Reiss 1862), Guadalquivir Basin, Spain (González Delgado 1986; Ruiz Muñoz et al. 1997; Landau et al. 2011; Brunetti 2022), Roussillon Basin, France (Fontannes 1880; Chirli & Richard 2008); central Mediterranean, Italy ( Sacco 1892 b; Chirli 1988; Sosso & Dell’Angelo 2010), Tunisia ( Fekih 1975). Upper Pliocene: Atlantic, Mondego Basin, Portugal ( Zbyszewski 1959; Silva 1992, 2001), Morocco ( Lecointre 1952); western Mediterranean, Estepona Basin, Spain (NHMW collection), Morocco ( Lecointre 1952); central Mediterranean, Italy ( Sacco 1892 b; Ruggieri & Curti 1959; Malatesta 1974; Caprotti 1970; Cavallo & Repetto 1992; Bogi et al. 2002; Sosso & Dell’Angelo 2010; Chirli 2013). Lower Pleistocene: eastern Mediterranean, Rhodes Island ( Chirli & Linse 2011).
