Addition to the Egerian (late Oligocene–early Miocene) gastropod fauna of Esztergom (Hungary)

Abstract

Additions are made to the Egerian (late Oligocene–early Miocene) gastropod fauna of Esztergom-Szentgyörgymező (Hungary) by description of 27 species. 14 taxa are new records at the locality. A few rare species are represented by newly collected well-preserved specimens, and five new species are designated: Calyptraea baldii n. sp., Cypraeorbis nadaii n. sp., Paziella (Paziella) modesta n. sp., Contortia zitae n. sp., and Clavatula danuvii n. sp. New combinations: Tritia edentata (Báldi, 1966) nov. comb., Cordieria collectiva (Noszky, 1936), nov. comb., Stenodrillia oligocenica (Noszky, 1936) nov. comb. As holotypes of Egerian species were destroyed in 1956, neotypes are designated for five taxa: Euthriofusus szontaghi Noszky, 1936; Eoconus egerensis (Noszky, 1936); Cordieria collectiva (Noszky, 1936); Stenodrillia oligocenica (Noszky, 1936); Turricula telegdirothi (Noszky, 1936).
