Material. Verkhnya Krynitsa 1 (early MN 16), left fragment of i1. MNI = 1. Catalogue number 29/1/ 15.

Description. The i1 is seriously damaged in its upper and posterior sides and the narrow apex is used. The tooth pigmentation is almost black.

Measurements. Measurements are unfeasible.

Systematic Position and Distribution. The i1 with strong pigmentation and a narrow apex most probably also belongs to Petenyia . On the other hand the size and age of the specimen opt for P. hungarica . Despite being similar in morphology and size Alloblarinella differs by the shape of the apex of i1 which is wider and more spatulate than in the i1 of Petenyia .

Petenyia hungarica lived in the Pliocene and the Pleistocene of Europe. It was also ubiquitous as the opportunistic Beremendia fissidens (Rzebik-Kowalska, 2009) .
