‘ Terebralia ’ robusta Dainelli, 1901

Terebralia robusta Dainelli, 1901: 274, pl. 33, figs 10, 11.

Cerithium robustum – Kühn 1946: 77.

DISTRIBUTION. — Oligocene (Rupelian), Promina Mountain (Šibenik-Knin), Croatia.

REMARKS

The species is based on two poorly preserved specimens, internal moulds with few parts of the shell present, mainly on the basal part of the shell. The illustrated specimens are reminiscent of Campanile species, which are common in the Oligocene of the Western Tethys. Kühn (1946) placed this species in Cerithium Bruguière, 1789 but without mentioning characters proper to Terebralia . Moreover, this combination would be a junior secondary homonym of Cerithium robustum (Sowerby, 1865) .
