Timbellus perlongus ( Bellardi, 1873)

( Figs 11–12 )

1873 Murex perlongus – BELLARDI, p. 105, pl. 5, fig. 8.

2011 Timbellus perlongus (Bellardi) – MERLE et al., p. 454, pl. 105, figs 1–6.

Material – 1 specimen; Lăpugiu: M.60.7985A.

Remarks – T. perlongus is typical of the Early Miocene in Italy and France. In the Badenian Central Paratethys it was known in Romania (Lăpugiu de Sus) and Poland (Korytnica Basin) ( BAŁUK 1995), but new collecting works prove its occurrence in Hungary at Letkés (Pannonian Basin).
