scientific name

Melania obeloides Tausch, 1886
status

 

Melania obeloides Tausch, 1886

Original source.

Tausch 1886: 7, pl. 1, figs 16-19.

Type horizon.

Late Santonian-early Campanian, late Cretaceous.

Type locality.

"Csingerthal bei Ajka" [Csinger valley near Ajka], Hungary.

Remarks.

The species was attributed to the genus Esperiana by Bandel and Riedel (1994: 20). That classification was, however, doubted by Neubauer et al. (2016a: 127) based on the large stratigraphic gap between this Cretaceous species and other representatives that appeared not before the late Miocene.
