1993 Planularia kubinii HANTKEN — RUSU et al., p. 32, Fig. 15/7-8. 1998 Planularia kubinyi (HANTKEN) — ClCHA et al., p. 118, pl. 26, figs. 8-9. Lectotype — GELLAI-NAGY (1988), pl. IX, figs. 1-3. Type locality — Budapest, Újlak. Type level — Kiscell Clay Formation, Upper Kiscellian. Paralectotype — M.99.77. Budapest, Újlak, Kiscell Clay Formation, Cassidulina vitáiisi zone, Upper Kiscellian. Material — 85 specimens. Dimensions — Larger diameter is 2-3 mm, width is 1.1—1.3 mm. Diagnosis — The large test is broadly ovate, strongly compressed. Chambers increase rapidly in width. A large boss on both sides covers the early chambers, respectively. The number of chambers is sixteen to twenty; last chambers are broad and low, dorsally highest and ventrally extending back towards the early chambers. Sutures are distinct and curved. Periphery is carinate. Wall is calcareous, perforate and smooth. Aperture is radiate, it can be found at the dorsal angle. Remarks — "It is one of the most characteristic forms in the Clavulina Szabói layers," wrote HANTKEN (1875a-b). Some specimens have remained in the Hantken collections. Stratigraphical range — This species is very frequent in the Clavulina Szabói layers (HANTKEN 1868, 1875a-b). It ranges from the Kiscellian to the Eggenburgian in the Central Paratethys (ClMERMAN & PAVSIC 1979; ClCHA et al. 1998), and from the Middle Eocene to the Lower Miocene in Western Europe (CUVILLIER & SZAKÁLL 1949, LINDENBERG et al. 1981; REISER 1987; SZTRÁKOS 2000). Ecology — This species is an epifaunal, normal marine, cold water, and bathyal taxon. It prefers the silty and/or clayey sediments. Appendix "Dentalina' sublaxa HANTKEN, 1875 1875a Dentalina sublaxa n. sp. — HANTKEN, S. 29. 1875b Dentalina sublaxa — HANTKEN, p. 24. Remarks — HANTKEN (1875a-b) described this species without figures. On the basis of his description, this species can belong to Nodosaria, because it has no longitudinal ribs. It was recognised from the upper part of the Clavulina Szabói layers (from Kiscell Clay) at Buda (Újlak) (HANTKEN 1875a-b). No specimen remained in the Hantken collections in Hungary 7 . Acknowledgements — I would like to thank the Ministry of Education for the financial support to conduct this researched in the framework of Project (FKFP 0180/1997). The author is also indebted to all colleagues who contributed to the completion of this endeavour, especially Dr. Mrs. Kamilla GAÁL for photography on the SEM and Zsuzsa GHIDÁN for photographic work. I also owe to my daughter for her charity and patience. References BANDY, O. L.
