摘要
Ten new species of fossil gastropods from the upper Miocene (Tortonian) of the Canary Islands (Spain) are described. Among these are three species of the genus Patella, a group with few fossil representatives, as well as three others representing the family Trochidae. The remaining new species represent Caenogastropoda. This study improves our knowledge of the fossil malacofauna from the Miocene of these islands. Together with the Azores and Madeira archipelagos, the Canaries belong to the Macaronesian biogeographic region. The described species are indicative of rocky coastal environments, and are thus expanding the current understanding of such ecosystems and their associated marine molluscs such as the family Patellidae whose fossil record is scarce. New species: Patella tintina Martin-Gonzalez & Vera-Pelaez sp. nov., Patella maxoratensis Martin-Gonzalez & Vera-Pelaez sp. nov., Patella mahamensis Martin-Gonzalez sp. nov., Jujubinus ajachaensis Martin-Gonzalez & VeraPelaez sp. nov., Osilinus burgadoi Martin-Gonzalez sp. nov., Gibbula tindayaensis Martin-Gonzalez & Vera-Pelaez sp. nov., Cerithium miocanariensis Martin-Gonzalez & Vera-Pelaez sp. nov., Tectarius isletaensis Vera-Pelaez sp. nov., Morula mionigra Martin-Gonzalez sp. nov. and Conus fuerteventurensis Vera-Pelaez & Martin-Gonzalez sp. nov.
