* Cerithium jumudicum nov. sp. —A.A. Ali-Zade 1967: 209: pl. 77, figs 7–12.

Type material. A.A. Ali-Zade (1967) mentioned a holotype but is unclear, which of the illustrated specimens is the holotype. Illustrated specimen: SL: 9.0 mm, MD: 4.5 mm. Earth Science Museum at Moscow State University (The Museum of Natural History), illustrated in Ali-Zade (1967: pl. 77, fig. 9).

Type locality. Danata ( Turkmenistan) .

Stratigraphy. Late Pliocene/Pleistocene, Akchagylian.

Discussion. Ali-Zade (1967) united smooth shells under this name and included also specimens with remnants of spiral sculpture close to the adapical suture. At least, his figures 7–9 represent smooth morphs of Potamides caspius , which is supported by the presence of faint spiral cords on early teleoconch whorls.

Eastern Paratethys. Akchagylian (Late Pliocene/Pleistocene): Caspian Basin: Naftalan ( Azerbaijan) (AliZade 1969); Danata, Small Balkhan ( Turkmenistan) ( Ali-Zade 1967).
