Terebralia subcorrugata
–
Esu & Girotti 2010: 158
, pl. 6, figs 4-7 (cum. syn.).
POTENTIAL SUBJECTIVE JUNIOR SYNONYMS. —
Terebralia subcorrugata var. tuberculosa Grateloup, 1846
(sensu
Cossmann & Peyrot, 1922
);
Terebralia subcorrugata var. subinterruptum
d’Orbigny, 1852
(sensu
Cossmann & Peyrot, 1922
).
PALAEOENVIRONMENT. — Oligo- to mesohaline, very shallow tropical environments subjected to tide fluctuations, rich in organic matter and vegetation such as mangroves (
Esu & Girotti 2010
).
DISTRIBUTION. — North-eastern Atlantic:
Cossmann & Peyrot (1922)
listed numerous localities in
France
(Aquitaine Basin). — Proto-Mediterranean Sea. Chattian of southern
Italy
(
Esu & Girotti 2010
). Late Oligocene (Chattian) and Early Miocene (Aquitanian) of
Greece
(
Thivaiou et al. 2019
; D. T. unpublished data).
REMARKS
Some specimens from the Mesohellenic Basin (
Greece
) and the Esfahan-Sirjan Basin (
Iran
) illustrated in
Harzhauser (2004)
although incomplete are most likely conspecific. A Burdigalian record from the western Taurids (
Turkey
) mentioned byİslamoğlu & Taner (2003) needs verification. A specimen from the Early Miocene of
Anatolia
attributed to
T. subcorrugata
by
Gürsoy (2017)
is too poorly preserved to be placed with certainty in the species. A record from the Middle Miocene Badenian of
Hungary
, reported by
Kecskemétiné-Körmendy (1962)
, is almost certainly a misidentification, based on an aberrant morphotype of
Terebralia duboisi
or
T. lignitarum
as presented in the mentioned work.
Specimens of
Cerithium corrugatum Brongniart, 1823
have been placed in this species after re-examinations (e.g.
Esu & Girotti 2010
). Indeed,
C. corrugatum Brongniart, 1823
from northern
Italy
has a similar morphology to that of
T. subcorrugata
but lacks a columellar fold and basal sculpture.
