Treatment

elongatum View in CoL . Cerithium . Handmann, 1883b [non Anton, 1838, non G. B. Sowerby II, 1855].

see Tiaracerithium pictum (de Basterot, 1825)

* [ Cerithium pictum Bast. View in CoL ] var. elongatum View in CoL — Handmann 1883b: 167.

Type material. The syntypes of Handmann (1883b) were stored in the Kollegium Kalksburg in Vienna, a Catholic private school, but seem to be lost .

Type locality. Ĥlles ( Austria) .

Stratigraphy. Middle Miocene, Sarmatian (Volhynian).

Discussion. Handmann (1883b: 167) distinguished this variety from Cerithium pictum based on its more slender shell. Thus, it represents only one of the many morphotypes of T. pictum .

The name Cerithium elongatum is preoccupied by Anton (1838) and G. B. Sowerby II (1855). As we consider Cerithium elongatum Handmann, 1883b as subjective synonym of Tiaracerithium pictum , no replacement name is needed.

Central Paratethys. Sarmatian, Volhynian (Middle Miocene): Vienna Basin: Ĥlles ( Austria) ( Handmann 1883b).
