Favartia (Favartia) suboblonga (d’Orbigny, 1852)

(Figs 34–35)

1852 Murex suboblongus – D’ORBIGNY, p. 73.

2016 Favartia suboblonga (d’Orbigny) – CEULEMANS et al., p. 40, pl. 1, figs 8–9.

Material – 5 specimens; Coşteiu: M.60.6943, M. 60.6976E –F, M.60.10869; Lăpugiu: M.60.10185.

Remarks – F. absona differs from F.suboblonga by lower spire, and sharp and spinose varices, while the F. czjzeki group contains more elongate forms with scalate spire and different spiral and axial sculpture. New collecting works prove the wide distribution of F. suboblonga in the Pannonian Basin (Mecsekpölöske and Letkés, Hungary, and Rohožník – Konopiská, Slovakia).
