Large colonies of ramified corals indicate that this special component was most probably a platform margin position of the depositional area with deeper, calm water bottom parts. However, the high abundance of the neritoideans shows shallow water platform origin at least for a part of the gastropod fauna that must have been allochtonously embedded here. KUTASSY (1927, 1933, 1936) introduced abundant and diverse gastropod assemblages with numerous new taxa. Most of the new elements provide the fauna with endemic 1. Amauropsis macra]. Böl IM 2.

Although the most important reason of the complete revision is the advance in gastropod systematics since the end of the 1930's years when KUTASSY has prepared his last publications, this work is urged also because KUTASSY's original material became rather decimated while it was (not really carefully) kept in one of the depositories, indicated in the publications. Recendy none of the specimens can be found in the collection of University Eötvös Loránd, Budapest (= University

7 Pázmány Péter in the papers) because of rationalization. Major part of die material has been rescued to the Hungarian Geological Museum (part of the Hungarian Geological Institute). Further ruins of the original collection were presented to the Department of Geolog}

7 and Palaeontology of the Hungarian Natural 1 liston Museum in another rescue action. One of the new genera, established by KUTASSY (1933), is Hungariella, represented by three species in the faunas. Because no types were selected to the species, one of the aims of this paper is to find cither lectotypes or neotypes. The sparsest one of the species, based on a characters but the major part of the supra-specific taxa clearly shows Alpine/Tethyan relation. BARTK(') (1939) added the description of a single specimen of a peculiar new species, having siphonostomatous shell ("Fusus" noricus). The number of the published species level gastropod taxa arose up to around sixty

. The faunal list below is given in alphabetic order to demonstrate the most advanced taxonomical state [KUTASSY's (1940); Glossophora Triadica II.)], however, there is obvious need of a revision both on the genus level (e.g. "Fttsus, "Tectus") and on the species level (e.g. to clear up what the "varieties" actually mean). 33.

Correction of the name is the other purpose of this paper, planned as the first part of a full revision. All available Hungariella specimens have been studied, but the types are selected from the collection of the Hungarian Natural History

7 Museum because it contains the only, doubtlessly recognisable originally figured specimen. KUTASSY (1927) established his "Neritopsis spinoscP on a single specimen, having characteristic shell damages, visible also in the original figures (KUTASSY 1927, p. 153, pl. Ill, Figs 9a—b, and see them in Plate I: 18-20). The possibility for selection of a lectotype has been investigated also in cases of the other species, respectively. If existence of syntypes were not proven or probable, further specimens from the type locality

7 are considered to select as neotype. The chance to collect new material is low and decreasing, because the quarries in the area of the localities have been long inactive, and the other outcrops have become either a natural conservation area or built up.
