Type material.
Lectotype
—
de Gregorio 1880
, p. 20, pl. V, fig. 17 (
Jung 1974
). The type specimens are presumed destroyed during World War Two (
Jung 1974
)
Jung (1974)
provides dimensions of
41 mm
in height and
9 mm
in width for material from the type locality.
Type
locality.
San Giovanni Ilarione
,
Italy
[Lutetian]
.
Diagnosis.
The shell is slender, with a high, acute apex thinly covered by shell matrix. The labrum is not thickened. The posterior canal is mostly straight, running antispirally towards the apex.
Distribution.

Remarks. There is some uncertainty surrounding the
type
material of
Paraseraphs propedistortus
, with the collection supposedly destroyed during the Second World War (
Malaroda 1954
). Specimens purported from the de Gregorio collection remain unlabelled and are in disarray (
Savazzi 1988a
). However, while there appears to be some material that has survived, this does not include the
types
of
Paraseraphs propedistortus
(
Jung 1974
)
.
