Discussion. This species was distinguished from Terebralia bidentata [= Terebralia lignitarum ( Eichwald, 1830) ] by Seneš in Steininger et al. (1973) based on its smaller size and more delicate sculpture. In our opinion, it represents a dwarf specimen of T. lignitarum .

The name is a secondary homonym of Terebralia praebidentata ( Oppenheim, 1901) from the Eocene of Dubrawitza in Dalmatia (described as Clava praebidentata Oppenheim, 1901: 262 , fig. 18.). No replacement name is needed, because we consider it to be a subjective junior synonym of Terebralia lignitarum .

Central Paratethys. Eggenburgian (Early Miocene): Western Carpathians: Veľká Čausa ( Slovakia) (Seneš in Steininger et al. 1973).
