Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 48, 1991 X 71; two thin sections.

Remarks.

The material was in Löser et al. (2013 c) identified as Cryptocoenia bulgarica ( Toula, 1884) . After this publication the type of Cryptocoenia antiqua became available and could be measured. The present material is much closer to Cryptocoenia antiqua ; Cryptocoenia bulgarica has smaller dimensions.
