Treatment

Gadomus tejkali ( Brzobohatý & Schultz, 1978)

“genus Melanonidarum” vanheuckelomae Nolf & Steurbaut, 1983: pl. 4, figs 8–9.

The abundant occurrence of otoliths of G. tejkali at Mondovi allows a reconstruction of the otolith growth series of this species ( Fig. 3 View Fig E–L), in addition to the extensive growth series of the same species illustrated by Brzobohatý (1995: pl. 1, figs 1–11) from the Badenian (middle Miocene) of the Central Paratethys. The Tortonian and Badenian materials reveal that the specimens named “genus Melanonidarum” vanheuckelomae Nolf & Steurbaut, 1983 are, in fact, the juvenile specimens of G. tejkali , and therefore “g. M.” vanheuckelomae is synonymised here (see Nolf & Steurbaut 1983 for iconography).
