Remarks
This small, distinctive species with a very restricted distribution range belongs to a lineage that includes species endemic to the westernmost islands in the Cabo Verde Archipelago. It is sister to A. fernandesi from Santo Antão Island, and to the pair A. curralensis / A. insulae from Santa Luzia. It is only distantly related to A. calhetae from Maio Island, which was initially introduced as a subspecies of A. navarroi due to similarities in shell morphology, now considered convergent.
