Parviscala sp.

Harzhauser, Mathias & Landau, Bernard M., 2025, The Epitoniidae (Gastropoda, Epitonioidea) of the Miocene Central Paratethys Sea-an overwhelming diversity, Zootaxa 5630 (1), pp. 1-142 : 127-128

Parviscala sp.

Clathrus spinosus ( Bonelli, 1826) — Iljina 1993: 119 (pars), pl. 15, fig. 2 [non Hirtoscala spinosa ( Sacco, 1891) ].

Discussion. The illustrated specimen comprises only the last whorl, which has about ten broad, probably coronate lamellae separated by slightly wider interspaces. The base lacks any angulation or peribasal cord, and there is no umbilicus. It is unclear if the specimen has spiral sculpture, and therefore generic placement is tentative. Maybe, the specimen represents Parviscala lacinia sp. nov., which is a widespread species in the Central Paratethys and known from coeval Eastern Paratethyan deposits.

Distribution in Eastern Paratethys. Konkian (Middle Miocene): Kiyandy ravine (spelled as ravine Gilyandy in Iljina 1993) ( Kazakhstan).
