Pleurotoma prevostina
Def.
—
Defrance 1826: 391
[
nomen dubium
].
Defrance (1826: 391)
gave a brief description of a shell from Hirtenberg at Enzesfeld in
Austria
, stating (in French): “
Shell fusiform, ventrose, covered by coarse striae, which follow the whorls. With strangulation in upper part whorl. Canal very short
”. This insufficient description might point to a
Granulatocincta
species.
Defrance (1826)
referred to Constant Prévost (1787–1856), who described the geology from the Hirtenberg area in
Prévost (1820)
. The
type
material was destroyed in WW II and therefore, the identity of this taxon remains dubious. The species was listed by
Tucker (2004)
, however, it was overlooked that Quenstedt (1884: 625, pl. 210, fig. 49) used this name for a clavatulid from Enzesfeld [
Perrona vindobonensis
(Quenstedt, 1884)
], which does not agree with the description of Defrance.
