rumanum . Cerithium . Pilide, 1878

see Tiaracerithium pictum (de Basterot, 1825)

* C [erithium]. Rumanum— Pilide 1878: 27.

Type material. We are not aware of the whereabouts of the type specimens.

Type locality. PloieȘti ( Romania) .

Stratigraphy. Late Miocene, Sarmatian (Bessarabian).

Discussion. Although Pilide (1878: 27) did not provide a description or an illustration, he made the name Cerithium rumanum available by a brief diagnosis, stating that Cerithium rumanum is intermediate between Cerithium disjunctum Sow. [= Potamides disjunctum (J. de C. Sowerby, 1832) ] and Cerithium pictum Bast. Most probably he had an elongate Tiaracerithium pictum at hand.

Eastern Paratethys. Sarmatian, Bessarabian (Late Miocene): Dacian Basin: PloieȘti ( Romania) ( Pilide 1878).
