Harzhauser, Mathias, Guzhov, Aleksandr & Landau, Bernard, 2023, A revision and nomenclator of the Cainozoic mudwhelks (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Batillariidae, Potamididae) of the Paratethys Sea (Europe, Asia), Zootaxa 5272 (1), pp. 1-241 : 174-175

costulata. Cerithium . Handmann, 1883a [non Lamarck, 1822]

see Pustulosia submitralis ( Eichwald, 1851)

* [ Cerithium Vitense ] var. costulata — Handmann 1883a: 172.

Type material. The syntypes of Handmann (1883a) were stored in the Kollegium Kalksburg in Vienna, a Catholic private school, but seem to be lost .

Type locality. Berndorf (St. Veit an der Triesting) ( Austria) .

Stratigraphy. Middle Miocene, Badenian.

Discussion. Handmann (1883a) described this species as variety of Cerithium vitense Handmann 1883a [= Pustulosia submitralis ( Eichwald, 1851) ] with axially arranged beads. We suppose that he had only a morphotype of Pustulosia submitralis at hand. The name Cerithium costulatum is preoccupied by Lamarck (1822). As we consider Cerithium costulatum Handmann, 1883b as subjective synonym of Pustulosia submitralis , no replacement name is needed.

Central Paratethys. Badenian (Middle Miocene): Vienna Basin: Berndorf ( St. Veit an der Triesting ) ( Handmann 1883a) .
