Late Miocene (Middle Pannonian, Serbian). Type material. No storage or types indicated; probably stored in the Hungarian Geological Institute, Budapest. Discussion. Both involved taxa were originally combined with different genera, but have been attributed to Pseudamnicola in the second half of the 20th century. Lorenthey's species was recombined with Amnicola by Wenz (1926 ), based on overall shell morphology. Because an attribution of a European species to this North American genus is relatively doubtful ( Paulucci 1878 , Wenz 1938-1944 ), Papp (1953) recombined this species with Pseudamnicola . Valvata minima Fuchs, 1877, described from the Pliocene of Megara ( Fuchs 1877 , p. 14, pl. 1, figs 25-27), was recombined with Pseudamnicola by Willmann (1981 , p. 212). This would make Pseudamnicola minima ( Lorenthey , 1893) a secondary homonym of Pseudamnicola minima (Fuchs, 1877). However, as pointed out by Haszprunar (2014) , Valvata minima Fuchs, 1877 is a primary homonym of Valvata minima Hislop, 1859 from the Tertiary of East India and is thus not available (for replacement name see above). Lorenthey's species consequently is no secondary homonym and needs no replacement name. Anyway, the generic classification of neither species appears to be settled. Several species of the Miocene of Central and Southeastern Europe previously attributed to Pseudamnicola have been shown lately not to belong to this genus ( Neubauer et al. 2013b , c).
