Janssenia spinosa ( Kojumdgieva, 1960) View in CoL

1960 Thais (Stramonita) spinosa – KOJUMDGIEVA, p. 153, pl. 41, fig. 3.

1981 Thais (Stramonita) austriaca – KRACH, pl. 22, fig. 10 [non Morula (Habromorula) austriaca (Hoernes & Auinger, 1882) ].

Material – 5 specimens; Coşteiu: M.59.2157, M.60.6986 (3), M.60.6988.

Remarks – The generic arrangement of spinosa was uncertain in LANDAU et al. (2013). Based on the presence of two weakly developed folds on the columella abapically, the species is assigned herein to Janssenia . J. spinosa differs in morphology from J. echinulata by slender shell with only two rows of spines on the last whorl. The species is a rare element of the Central Paratethyan gastropod assemblages.
