Pleurotomaria subdecorata, mentioned also in VACEK's synonymlist has whorls without an­gulation, so it is not identical with Bathrotomaria submandokii sp.n., nor with the true Pleu­rotomaria subdecorata Münster. A species most similar to this new one is the Bajocian Bathrotomaria m andokii Szabó, 1980, known from the Bakony Mts. (Hungary). However, VACEK's specimen has a spiral angle 16° bigger than the biggest value in Bathrotomaria mandokii specimens (68°-72°). Other measurements are also significantly different and, in Bathrotomaria mandokii, the adult whorls are ornamented by spiral grooves while B. submandokii is covered by spiral cords. It is necessary to notice that B. mandokii and B. submandokii bear one feature in com­mon: the position of the selenizone, just below the angulation of the whorls, which is a dif­ference from the typical Bathrotomaria, having an anal band just on the angulation.

Material: a damaged inner mould specimen with shelly portions (1896/5/56). Measurements : H HL HA D W A 40 24 15 40 17 87°-58° Description : The specimen is a rather large, moderately cyrtoconical one. The whorls are convex, without angulation, their cross-section is subquadrate. The base is slightly con­vex, with a largely opened umbilicus in the middle. A wide, flat selenizone runs just below the midwhorl, its width is about a sixth of the distance between the two sutures. The peri­phery is rounded angular, the peristome is not preserved. A retiform ornament is present on the whorls and within the umbilicus. It consists of spiral cords and transverse threads, the latter are less regularly spaced. On the base, the spiral cords vary in width, many of them are really lace. The grooves, dissecting them, are more consistent in width. The orientation of the growth-lines is prosocline, somewhat prosocyrt above the selenizone and opisthocline-prosocyrt below it. Their shape is a revers­ed "S" at the base and slightly prosocline, straight within the umbilicus. Remarks : The whorls of the true Leptomaria fasciata are less convex than those of this specimen, so the suture is in a less deep furrow. The umbilicus is not so broad as in Vacek's specimen. This latter has a distinct cyrtoconical spire-outline, while the others are conical and cyrtoconical only at the apical region. However, these differences do not seem to be satisfactory to separate the specimen from the "fasciata group", said to be ex­tremely variable (HUDLESTON 1895), without comparison of materials.
