Gadomus tejkali
(
Brzobohatý & Schultz, 1978
)
“genus Melanonidarum”
vanheuckelomae
Nolf & Steurbaut, 1983
: pl. 4, figs 8–9.
The abundant occurrence of otoliths of
G
.
tejkali
at Mondovi allows a reconstruction of the otolith growth series of this species (
Fig. 3
E–L), in addition to the extensive growth series of the same species illustrated by
Brzobohatý (1995
: pl. 1, figs 1–11) from the Badenian (middle Miocene) of the Central Paratethys. The Tortonian and Badenian materials reveal that the specimens named “genus Melanonidarum”
vanheuckelomae
Nolf & Steurbaut, 1983
are, in fact, the juvenile specimens of
G
.
tejkali
, and therefore “g. M.”
vanheuckelomae
is synonymised here (see
Nolf & Steurbaut 1983
for iconography).
