A new Calliostoma species (Gastropoda: Calliostomatidae) from Angola

A small trochoidean species from southern Angola is described as Calliostoma (Fautor) fernandesi sp. nov. No comparable species is known from the West African Province, and only one comparable species is known from the Caribbean. The subgeneric placement in Fautor Iredale, 1924 is based on recent revisions made about similar species from the Southwest Pacific, to which the new Angolan species seems to be closely related.
