Type material. Holotype, NHMW 1949 /0005/0017, SL: 15.2 mm, MD: 7.3 mm, Steinebrunn ( Austria), illustrated in Hörnes (1853: pl. 25, fig. 8) and Hoernes & Auinger (1890: pl. 30, fig. 1).

Additional material. NHMW 1949/0005/0018, SL: 14.8 mm, MD: 8.6 mm, Niederleis ( Austria), illustrated in Hoernes & Auinger (1890: pl. 30, fig. 2).

Discussion. The name Murex (Aplus) plicatus agapus De Gregorio 1885 a was overlooked by Hoernes &Auinger (1890) when establishing Pollia cheilotoma . By selecting specimen NHMW 1949/0005/0017 from Steinebrunn ( Austria), illustrated in Hoernes &Auinger (1890: pl. 30, fig. 1) as lectotype, Pollia cheilotoma becomes an objective synonym of Murex (Aplus) plicatus agapus De Gregorio, 1885 a .

Paleoenvironment. Shallow marine, inner neritic with sea grass (own data).
