Eucyclus (Eucyclus) sandrae n. sp. (Figure 74: E-F) pars 1861: Chemnittqa margaritacea STOL. — STOLICZKA, p. 167, pl. 1, fig. 10 b. Holotype — GBa 2008/69/9/2/1. T Y p e locality — Hierlatz Alpe over Hallstatt, Salzkammergut, Austria. Type strata — Sinemurian (Oxynotum Zone) Hierlatz Limestone. Name — Dedicated to Prof. Maria Alessandra CONTI (Universitá "La Sapienza", Rome). Diagnosis — Turriculate shell with convex whorls; suture deeply impressed; base convex and anomphalous. Four cords ornament whorls beween midwhorl and abapical suture, no spiral ornament developed between midwhorl cord and upper suture except single, later paired, granulate cord(s) just below suture; granulae may appear also on other cords. Base densely lineated spirally; periodical collabral riblets cross last whorl from suture to middle of base. Material — Single, fragmentary specimen (holotype) is distinguished from the Chemnifcna margaritacea STOLICZKA, 1861 box of the "originals collection" in the GBa Museum, and three specimens are found in the "background collection". Measurements H HL HP D W AA AL holotype - **14 **12.5 - 18° Figure 74 — Eucyclus (Eucyclus) margaritaceus (STOLICZKA, 1861), lectotype (A-D); Eucyclus (Eucyclus) sandrae n. sp., holotype (E-F); Eucyclus (Eucyclus) sp., (G—J). — 10 a-b: copy of the original figures of "Chemnitiça margaritacea" from STOLICZKA (1861) Tafel I; A-D: apertural (A, C) and dorsal (B, D) views of Eugclus (Eucyclus) margaritatus (STOLICZKA, 1861) lectotype, A-B = xl, C-D = x3; E—F: Eugclus (Eucyclus) sandrae n. sp., dorsal view, E = xl, F = x3; G—J: ELugclns (Eugclus) sp. in apertural (H, J) and dorsal (G, I) views, G-H = xl,I-J = X3. Shape — Rather high spired shell with convex, evenly rounded whorls, their suture deeply impressed and canaliculate owing to close cords on its both side. Base convex and anomphalous. No peristome part observable. Sculpture — Characteristic pattern of ornament found on holotype. Four cords visible on all preserved whorls beween midwhorl (periphery 7 ) and lower suture, but no spiral ornament de\ r eloped between midwhorl cord and upper suture, except single (but on last whorl already paired), granulate cord(s) just below suture. Granulae found also on other cords but only on last whorl. Thin threads appear between cords on penultimate whorl. Base
