Treatment

Euthria palatina Strausz, 1954 [= Melanopsis bouei Férussac, 1823 ]

* Euthria rhombea palatina nov. var. — Strausz 1954: 30, pl. 4, figs 93a–b.

Euthria rhombus palatina Strausz, 1954 — Strausz 1966a: 305, pl. 34, figs 4–5.

Type material. Holotype, specimen illustrated in Strausz (1954: pl. 4, figs 93a–b); SL: 6 mm, MD: 3 mm, Várpalota ( Hungary).

Discussion. This species is based on a juvenile specimen with smooth early whorls and axial ribs with pointed nodes along the shoulder on the last whorl. It is surely not an Euthria species but seems to represent Melanopsis bouei Férussac, 1823 . This species occurs in Upper Miocene (Pannonian) deposits. Pannonian deposits and Middle Miocene deposits occur at Várpalota ( Hungary) and therefore this Upper Miocene species might have been mixed with the Middle Miocene marine material.

Distribution in Central Paratethys. Badenian (Middle Miocene): Pannonian Basin: Várpalota ( Hungary) ( Strausz 1966a).
