VÖRÖS, A., SZABÓ, J., DULAI, A., SZENTÉ, L, EBLI, O. & LOBITZER, H. Palaeontological notes Apringia paolii (CANAVARI, 1880) (Plate VIII: 1-6) — This species is represented by 11 specimens in our material collected mainly at Meislalm (Schwarzensee). A. paolii is a variable but very typical member of its genus, and stands morphologically close to the type species A. giuppa (DE GREGORIO 1886). It is very common in the Pliensbachian of the Apenninic (Umbria-Marchean) and the Bakony Mts localities, and well characterises the "Apennino-Transdanubian Subprovince" of VÖRÖS (1987). Apringia cf. altesinuata (BÖSE, 1898) (Plate VIII: 7-9) — This species was described by BÖSE (1898) from the Schafberg region and, accordingly, we have collected it in great number (12). It stands close to A. stoppanii (PARONA, 1880) which may be considered as its senior synonym. In contrast to the almost smooth shell surface, the highly uniplicate anterior commissure is, in most cases, aberrantly asymmetrical. This feature was recorded both in the Schafberg and in the Hungarian (Fenyveskut) material and possibly has a palaeoecological reason, e.g. the individuals of this species lived in dense, overpacked populations. Apringia cf. diptycha (BÖSE, 1898) (Plate VIII: 10-12) — It was collected in moderate quantity (3 specimens). This characteristic, completely smooth and strongly biplicate rhynchonellid species very much resembles A. mariottii (ZlTTEL, 1869), which latter has fine ribs on its lateral parts. Cirpa cf. briseis (GEMMELLARO, 1874) (Plate VIII: 18-19) — We have collected two specimens of this species which characterises the "Carpatho-Sicilian" Subprovince of the Mediterranean Province (VÖRÖS 1987). Prionorhynchia ? hagaviensis (BÖSE, 1898) (Plate VIII: 13—14) — The single specimen probably belongs to P. hagaviensis described from the Schafberg fauna by BÖSE (1898). Its small size and general shape and ornamentation would suggest its possible attribution to Lokutella but the relationship of the anterior and lateral commissures speaks in favour of Prionorhynchia as a host genus. This species was tentatively placed into the genus Pisirhynchia by SlBLÍK (2002) but this opinion is not accepted here. Prionorhynchia ? aff. hagaviensis (BÖSE, 1898) (Plate VILI: 15-17) — This single specimen is definitely closely related to Prionorhynchia ? hagaviensis but its rather strong and somewhat irregular ribbing may indicate that it belongs to another species. Cuneirhynchia ? aff. dalmasi (DUMORTIER, 1869) (Plate VIII: 20-22) — BÖSE (1898) found numerous specimens of C. dalmasi in the Schafberg fauna. Our specimens (3) stand close to this species but differ by rather dense and irregular ribbing in the wide uniplication. Koninckodonta cf. waehneri (BlTTNER, 1894) (Plate VIII: 29) — We have found three specimens of this tiny, concavo-convex and frequently overlooked species. Koninckinids were characteristic members of the communities üving on the rocky submarine horsts in Early Jurassic times (VÖRÖS 1986, 2002); this supports our palaeogeographic model, i.e. that the sedimentär)

Liospiriferina sicula (GEMMELLARO, 1874) (Plate VIII: 26—28) — The single specimen collected is a typical representative of the species L sicula. It is closely related to L obtusa (OPPEL, 1861); the main difference is in their outline, L sicula being more elongated transversally. => Explanation to Plate VIII 1—3 ApringiapaoUi(CANAVARI) — xl, Schwarzensee, Meislalm, Pliensbachian red limestone. 4-6 Apringia paoUi (CANAVARI) — xl
