Pseudopecten (Pseudopecten) veyrasensis (DUMORTIER, 1864) Three small specimens were collected. Their ornamentation consists of 13-14 ribs separated by wide interspaces. This early and middle Liassic species was previously described and figured from the Harsány-hegy as Chlamys (Aequipecten ?) humberti (Vörös 1971). Chlamys (Chlamys) textoria (SCHLOTHEIM, 1820) Pl. I, Fig.3. This long ranging species is represented by two very incomplete shell fragments with plicae bearing characteristic imbricate lamellae. PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHICAL AFFINITIES OF THE HARSÁNY-HEGY FAUNA Paleobiogeographical affinities of the Pliensbachian faunas of the Villány Hills were discussed by Ager and Callomon (1971), Vörös (1971, 1984a, 1984b, 1990), Dommergues and Géczy (1989), Géczy (1984a, 1984b), Prosorovskaya and Vörös (1988), Szabó (1990) and Szenté (1990). AU these studies concluded that the Villány Zone was part of the northern margin of the Early Jurassic Tethys since the fauna shows strong northwest European affinity. The brachiopods and bivalves discussed above are also widely distributed in the epicontinental middle Liassic of Europe, confirming the previous statements. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Csaba Péró kindly drew the attention of the authors to the exposure and made the fossil material collected by him and his students available for study.
