Figure 3c–f

1906 Otolithus (Crenilabrus) simplicissimus —Schubert: pl. 18, figs. 43, 44.

2015 Onogadus simplicissimus ( Schubert, 1906) —Bratishko et al.: figs. 4.6–12 (and references therein).

Material 8 otoliths: 1 specimen, Kozatskyi Yar, NMNHU-P PI 2571 ; 2 specimens, Mlyntsi, NMNHU-P PI 2572 ; 5 specimens, Shydlivshchyna, NMNHU-P PI 2573 and NMB P1220 .

Discussion Tis species was redefined, described in detail, and compared to extant species in Bratishko et. al. (2015). Onogadus simplicissimus is apparently endemic to the Central and Eastern Paratethys, where it occurs from the late Badenian/Konkian to the Bessarabian (Bratishko et al., ongoing research).
