Material. NHMW 1868/0001/0413, SL: 4.8 mm, MD: 2.1 mm, illustrated in Hoernes & Auinger (1890: pl. 31, fig. 12), Lăpugiu de Sus ( Romania), Figs 49C 1 –C 2 .

Discussion. The specimen illustrated as Fusus ( Euthria ?) immaturus by Hoernes & Auinger (1890: pl. 31, fig. 12) is identical with the columbellid Bellacolumbella embryonalis as reviewed by Harzhauser & Landau (2021).
