brenneri . Cerithium . Handmann, 1883b [nomen dubium ]

see Potamides fraterculus (Mayer, 1878)

* Cerithium Brenneri n. f.— Handmann 1883b: 167.

Type material. The holotype of Handmann (1883b) was stored in the Kollegium Kalksburg in Vienna, a Catholic private school, but seems to be lost .

Type locality. Ĥlles ( Austria) .

Stratigraphy. Middle Miocene, Sarmatian (Volhynian).

Discussion. Handmann (1883b:167) did not provide a description or diagnosis but discussed that Cerithium brenneri is intermediate between Cerithum spina [= Bittium spina ( Ĥrnes, 1855) ] and Cerithium ĥllesense [= Potamides fraterculus (Mayer, 1878) ]. Thus, it might represent a morphotypes of Potamides fraterculus (Mayer, 1878) .

Central Paratethys. Sarmatian, Volhynian (Middle Miocene): Vienna Basin: Ĥlles ( Austria) ( Handmann 1883b).
