* Cerithium nodoso-plicatum Ĥrn. — Ĥrnes 1855: 397, pl. 41, figs 19a–c [non 20 a–c = Theodisca biseriata ( Friedberg, 1914) ].

Type material. Lectotype designated by Švagrovský (1971: 338), illustrated in Ĥrnes (1855: pl. 41, fig. 19), SL: 19 mm, Natural History Museum Vienna; the specimen is lost or misplaced.

Type locality. Steinebrunn ( Austria) .

Stratigraphy. Middle Miocene, Badenian.

Discussion. Lozouet (1986: 178) recognized that the two specimens illustrated by Ĥrnes (1855: pl. 41, figs 19–20) as Cerithium nodosoplicatum are not conspecific and concluded that only fig. 20 is a Potamides . This view was adopted by D’Amico et al. (2012) and Landau et al. (2013) and is also followed herein. Consequently, Lozouet (1986) and Landau et al. (2013) referred to Ĥrnes (1855: pl. 41, fig. 20) when discussing Potamides nodosoplicatus . All authors, however, have overlooked that Švagrovský (1971: 338) had selected fig. 19 as lectotype of this species, which is Pustulosia submitralis . As consequence of this unfortunate selection, the majority of literature references listing Potamides (or Pirenella ) nodosoplicatus have to be removed from synonymy and are treated herein as Theodisca biseriata ( Friedberg, 1914) .
