SZABÓJ.: Revision of Hierk mens is similar to that of Pleurotomaria anglica, published from the Western European localities. However, notable differences are in the sculpture; in general: the Hierlatz specimens are much more coarsely ornamented: the nodes are larger (and somewhat fewer) at the same size of shell and their swellings reach the suture, while in the true P. anglica specimens they are smaller and confined to the abaxial edge of the ramp; the spiral cords are about in half number on the Hierlatz specimens but with double thickness. Another important difference: the typical P. anglica has collabrally elongate nodes, but they cross growth lines in the Hierlatz finds (like in Pleurotomaria eplenyensis n. sp.). Distribution — Hallstatt, Hierlatz Alpe: Sinemurian (Oxynotum Zone). => Figure 34 — Pleurotomaria aff. anglica (SOWERBY, 1818) — 10 a—b: copy of figure, drawn as Pleurotomaria anglica Sow., from STOLICZKA (1861) Tafel IY; A: dorsal \iew of a specimen (GBa 2008/69/44/1), B: "apertural" view of another one of the best preserved four shells (GBa 2008/69/44/2), found in P. anglica box of STOLICZKA (1861) "originals" collection; both xl.
