Type material. Holotype: SMF 372693 View Materials (XII 2494a), SL: 4.4 mm, MD: 3.0 mm, Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt/ Main, Germany, Coşteiu de Sus ( Romania), illustrated in Zilch (1934: pl. 7, fig. 14).

Discussion. This species was correctly placed in Trichotropidae Gray, 1850 (which is a junior synonym of Capulidae Fleming, 1822 ) by Boettger (1902:156; 1907: 170), but the genus Gegania , which was used by Boettger (1902, 1907), is now placed in Mathildidae . The Miocene species is a Cerithioderma Conrad, 1860 comparable to Cerithioderma pliocenica Landau, Marquet & Grigis, 2004 from the Pliocene of Spain ( Landau et al. 2004: pl. 20, figs 3–4).
