Discussion. Landau et al. (2006) provided a detailed description of this species, which is recognized easily by its peculiar, flattened protoconch with a median keel on the first whorl and strongly sigmoidal axial ribs close to transition into the teleoconch (see Landau et al. 2006). The aberrant protoconch and teleoconch morphologies and the absence of columellar folds resulted in a long discussion on the generic placement of the species ( Verhecken 1986, Landau et al. 2006). Tabanelli (2008) proposed Cancellicula as new genus for this species. The genus is represented by Cancellicula dregeri ( Hoernes & Auinger, 1890) and the Pliocene to Early Pleistocene C. profunda ( Tabanelli, 1985) . Both are recognised easily by their characteristic protoconch sculpture (see Landau et al. 2006, Brunetti et al. 2009). A separation of the slightly larger shell illustrated as fig. 19 by Hoernes and Auinger (1890, pl. 33) as distinct species or subspecies, as suggested by Sacco (1894), is unjustified.

Recently, Verhecken (2011) and Modica et al. (2011) placed also the extant Indo–West Pacific Admete aethiopica Thiele, 1925 in Cancellicula . Despite some superficial similarities in shell outline—which are probably mere convergences—this extant species differs significantly in its bulbous protoconch. For the same reason, the extant Brazilian Microcancilla jonasi Barros & Petit, 2007 is clearly not a Cancellicula and seems to be congeneric with “ Admete aethiopica . Therefore, Cancellicula is unknown so far from Recent faunas, and the extant species ascribed to this genus require revision concerning their generic placement.

Distribution. Cancellicula dregeri appears during the Badenian in many deeper water settings in the entire Paratethys Sea. In the Proto –Mediterranean Sea it is known from Tortonian, Messinian and Lower Pliocene deposits and persits there until the Pleistocene ( Landau et al. 2006).
