Janssenia echinulata (Pusch, 1837) View in CoL

1837 Ricinula echinulata – PUSCH, p. 140, pl. 11, fig. 27.

2013 Janssenia echinulata (Pusch) – LANDAU et al., p. 157, pl. 23, figs 7–8 (cum syn.).

Material – 12 specimens; Coşteiu: M.60.7016; Lăpugiu: M.59.2082 (3), M.59.2083, M.59.2085, M.60.7951 (2), M.60.8482, M.62.6180 (2), M.64.227.

Remarks – The species was taxonomically revised and assigned to genus Janssenia by LANDAU et al. (2013). The Stramonita haemastomoides (Hoernes et Auinger) specimens recorded in the literature from the Central Paratethys actually represent J. echinulata . The species is characterized by strong intraspecific variability in height of the spire, strength of the spiral rows of tubercles, and development of the columellar folds.
