Shape — Rather high conical shells with flat or feebly convex whorls, concave belts may also present (between pairs of cords). Suture canaliculate or impressed (depending on configuration of cords). Peripher)

7 angular, bicarinate but lower carina may be weak as thread therefore seemingly unicarinate specimens also exist. Base moderately convex, anomphalous. Neither apical nor peristomal morphology observable. Sculpture — Ornament consists of granulate spiral cords and threads, being extremely variable both in number (4—8 on last whorl) and strength. All available specimens show different ornament. Single granulae (nodules) of each cords may be connected to those of the neighbouring cords by weak collabral riblets (threads). Dense spiral threads of different strength cover base. R e m a r k s — Trypanotrochus is usually regarded as a Proconulinae/-idae related genus, but GRÜNDPL (2007) suggested a sytematical place in the Eucyclidae within his new subfamily Eucycloscalinae, that is in accordance with the morphological features. T. granulifents itself shows considerable variability- both in the shape and the ornament. Unfortunately, its real boundaries have not yet been visible because the specimens are hardly removable safely from the strongly recrystallised matrix owing to their coarse ornament. Distribution — Hallstatt, Hierlatz Alpe, Sinemurian (Oxynotum Zone).

Material — A naturally prepared cross section on a weathered rock surface, some recently collected shelly specimens from the Bakony Mts, and a single, formerly unpublished specimen form the GBa Museum [not from the collections that were available also for STOLICZKA (1861)]. Measurements H HL HP Figure 80: E (HGM) - 9 5.1 Shape — High spired, cyrtoconoidal, sometimes feebly pupifom shell. Whorls weakly convex, suture in shallow canal. Periphery rounded, base strongly convex and anomphalous. Inner space of whorls quadrangular in juvenile shell part, ovate (dropp shaped) later just like peristome. Within whorls, "V" shaped cross section of two strong and sharp columellar folds, terminating in rounded, denticle like end at columellar lip. Sculpture — Consisting of dense spiral threads, crossed by slightly prosocline collabral threads with granulae at crossing points, forming a network. Remarks — Some specimens have feebly concave D W AA AL 6.5 4.7 22° belt on the penultimate and/or last whorl but this character seems to belong the magnitute of inner specific variability. Finding new specimens, and studies on M. GEMMELLARO's (1911) type material made the species identity doubtiess. The morphology of the species indicate belonging to Chilodontinae, and the Cerithioidean relation, suggested by AL GEMMELLARO in the designation of Cupaniella, does not seem really likely. Subsequently, Cupaniella M. GEMMELLARO, 1911 became a neglected genus, lacking from the well known treatises of Gastropod systematics. It is almost sure, that this genus is a
