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 : 217

vitense . Cerithium . Handmann, 1883a see Pustulosia submitralis ( Eichwald, 1851)

* Cerithium Vitense n. f.— 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 intermediate between Cerithium nodosoplicatum [= Theodisca biseriata ( Friedberg, 1914) ] and Cerithium varicosum Handmann 1883a [= Tiaracerithium pictum (de Basterot, 1825) ]. As he mentioned three to five spiral cords, he might have had specimens of Pustulosia submitralis at hand. Similarly, Mariani & Papp (1966) identified specimens of Pustulosia submitralis as Cerithium vitense .

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