The type specimens of fossil land and freshwater gastropods deposited in the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart (SMNS), Germany, are listed and illustrated herein, comprising circa 180 nominal species-group taxa from Cenozoic fossil sites, mainly in the Baden-Württemberg and Bayern states in southern Germany. The list is arranged in alphabetical order of the specific epithets, with information on the original description, taxonomical status, type locality, record number in the collection and comments. A systematically arranged list of the taxa is also given, as well as a list arranged by authorship of the species-group names. At least one type specimen (holotype, lectotype, syntype or neotype) of each nominal species/subspecies is figured here, and further specimens were figured when they added information. In some cases lectotypes are designated herein.
1. Introduction
The collection of fossil invertebrates in the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart (SMNS; Stuttgart, Germany) comprises more than 200,000 fossil invertebrate lots, mostly of gastropods. Despite having specimens from diverse localities worldwide, the vast majority of the collection stems from Cenozoic fossil sites in the Baden-Württemberg and Bayern states in southern Germany. The collection includes the original material, particularly the name-bearing types, of 19th century and early 20th century paleontologists.
There is a current international consensus that all museums should publish inventories of their type specimens to make them more readily available for the scientific community at large. This is especially true for European fossil gastropods. Many species have a convoluted taxonomic history, often inadequate descriptions and illustrations (or no illustration at all), and little modern taxonomic analysis. Thus, future work would benefit greatly from examination of actual type specimens.
Therefore, we present here an annotated catalogue of the fossil non-marine gastropod types housed in the SMNS collection, arranged alphabetically according to the specific epithets. Furthermore, in order to facilitate locating information, the list of types is presented in two additional ways (Appendixes 1 and 2): a systematically arranged list of the taxa and a list arranged by authorship of the nominal species.

2. Material and methods
2.1. Collections
The SMNS has acquired collections of mollusks from many 19th and early 20th century authors. The fossil continental gastropods are stored in the collection of Cenozoic Invertebrates in the SMNS. This collection is separated in two parts: one sorted geographically, the other systematically. The former focuses on the fossil Lagerstätten of Württemberg (part of Baden-Württemberg), such as Steinheim am Albuch and Randeck Maar. The latter comprises several historic collections, of which the Jooss and Geyer collections are the largest.
The Jooss collection is the most important collection of gastropods in the SMNS, containing ca. 1,400 species and subspecies and totaling ca. 17,000 specimens. The gastropods are mainly from Germany and neighboring countries, from Oligocene to Pliocene (but focusing on the Miocene). Jooss has intensively exchanged material with colleagues and specimens from his their publications are present as well. A good portion of Clessin's original material was incorporated into the Jooss collection in 1913, whereby Jooss unfortunately replaced Clessin's labels by his own. The Geyer collection contains Geyer's fossil specimens (his Recent mollusks are housed in the Malacozoological collection of the SMNS). This part of the collection contains ca. 250 species and subspecies (ca. 70,000 specimens), mainly of Plio-Pleistocene age.
In addition to Jooss' and Geyer's, collections (or part of them) of other authors were acquired by the SMNS, such as Klein, Gottschick, Miller, Clessin, Kranz and Schütze. Moreover, several other authors contributed types to the SMNS collection, such as Sandberger, O. Boettger and Wenz. The original handwritten labels of most of these authors could be found (Fig. 1), even those of Wenz, whose collection in Frankfurt am Main was destroyed during World War II. Below we give brief information about those malacologists whose material in the SMNS collection are important for historical and/or scientific reasons (biographic notes can be found in Lambrecht et al. 1938 and Mayer 1976).
Stefan Clessin (*1833 in Würzburg, †(24.12.1911) was a full-time military officer who later worked for the Bavarian state railway (Quenstedt 1957). He was especially interested in malacology (both Recent and fossil) and described many new nominal species.
David Geyer (*06.11.1855 in Köngen, †06.ll.1932 in Stuttgart) was a schoolteacher in Stuttgart and a malacologist (Wenz 1933), famous for his book on Germany's molluscan fauna (Geyer 1927) and his remarkable collection of extant and Quaternary gastropods.
Franz Gottschick (*14.08.1865 in Zang, †l8.09.1927 in Tübingen) was a forester in Steinheim am Albuch and Tübingen and was particularly known for his studies of the fossil snails from the Steinheim Basin (Heizmann & Reiff 2002).
Carlo G. H. Jooss (*27.10.1883 in Stuttgart, †unknown [after 1936]) was a private collector in Stuttgart. According to Staesche (1958), Jooss started his study at the University of Tübingen, but never graduated. He had extensive contacts with contemporary malacologists and paleontologists. According to the SMNS documentation, Jooss left Germany on July 1st 1929 after selling his collection to the SMNS for 2,500 Reichsmark. Today's purchasing value of this price would be ca. 10,000, which shows the importance of Jooss' collection at that time. It is not known where Jooss emigrated to, but there is a last trace of his whereabouts: a short note in the annual report of the American Museum of Natural History (New York) from 1936 states that the museum purchased 183 fossil invertebrates from Jamaica, Trinidad and British Guyana from “Dr. Carlo H. Jooss of Georgetown, British Guyana”.
Adolf von Klein (*30.09.1805 in Stuttgart, †03.04.1892 in Stuttgart) was a military medic and zoologist. He authored three seminal papers about the Miocene and Pleistocene freshwater mollusks of Württemberg, in which he defined many new taxa.
Ferdinand Krauss (*09.07.1812 in Stuttgart, †14.09.1890 in Stuttgart) was the director of the “Naturalienkabinett”, the predecessor of the SMNS. He was a zoologist, but also worked with fossils, publishing the first account of the brackish mollusk fauna of the Kirchberg Formation.
Konrad Miller (*21.11.1844 in Oppeltshofen, †25.07.1933) was a theologian and teacher who carried out archaeological and geological research; the latter especially about the Upper Marine and Upper Freshwater Molasses in Württemberg (Hablitzel 1994).
Fridolin C. W. Sandberger (*22.11.1826 in Dillenburg, †11.06.1898 in Würzburg) was head of the “Naturhistorischen Museum” in Wiesbaden (1849–1855), professor of Geology and Mineralogy at the “Polytechnikum” in Karlsruhe (1855–1863), and finally professor of Mineralogy and Geology in Würzburg (Beckenkamp 1899). Besides his geological studies, he also carried out research on fossil continental mollusks. While the largest part of his material is in the Wiesbaden Museum, some originals can be found in Stuttgart.
2.2. Missing material
As the fossil collections of Klein, Jooss, Gottschick, Miller, Clessin, Kranz, Schütze and Geyer had been acquired by the SMNS, it had been expected that the majority of their types of species-group taxa would be present here, but this does not seem to be the case. Some specimens were lost during World War II (Tomlin 1947; Lueger 1981), but others might have been lost during loans or due to neglect. Appendix 3 lists all nominal species-group taxa of these authors of which no type material could be identified in the SMNS collection.
2.3. Type Catalogue
We present this catalogue in the following manner. The species epithets are arranged in alphabetical order. In each entry, the first line gives the species epithet, followed by the author and year, and the original genus-group name. The spelling of the specific epithets is corrected according to the ICZN (1999), article 32.5 (i.e., capitalization, correct gender ending, removal of diacritical marks and conversion of umlauts). The spelling of the genus name is changed to the correct original spelling, as a species-group name published in combination with an emendation or incorrect spelling is deemed to have been published in combination with the correct original spelling (article 11.9.3.2 ICZN). For example, the name originally published as Limnaeus conicus Miller, 1907 is deemed to have been published as Lymnaea conica Miller, 1907 and, thus, it is cited here in the first line in this form. If a name is nomenclaturally invalid because it is a junior homonym, and if a replacement name exists, the invalid name is listed in its proper alphabetical place with a reference to its replacement name, where all relevant information is given for both names.
The second line gives the species-group name in its original (i.e., uncorrected) form, with bibliographic reference, and in some cases additional bibliographic references to the type material. The following lines give the type status, inventory number(s), type locality, type stratum and age. In order to facilitate the use of the relevant literature, and to emphasize the status of locality and lithostratigraphic terms as proper names (although the latter are usually historical and informal), these have not been translated into English, but translations are given for the information of the reader unfamiliar with the German language. The entry “Taxonomic status” provides a reference or references to the most up-to-date taxonomic treatment of the name in question. It is not intended to present in this paper a taxonomic revision of the taxa involved. In a few cases, hitherto unpublished views of the authors are cited as such, as well as divergent opinions.
At least one type specimen (holotype, lectotype, syntype or neotype) of each nominal species/subspecies is figured here, and further original specimens were figured when they added information. Many nominal species/subspecies are figured here for the first time. Moreover, as authors often did not designate holotypes from their material, some lectotypes are designated herein.
The identification of the type series of nominal species proposed by Sandberger (1870–1875) requires a brief discussion here. Sandberger made many names available by publishing illustrations on plates with captions, thereby publishing new species names up to three years earlier than the pertinent text. It could therefore be argued that only the figured specimen(s) constitute the type series, but we argue that the entire material included in the published text should be regarded as the type series because it is inconceivable that Sandberger would not have this material at his disposal when he decided that a particular form is a new species. This assumption is in accordance with Article 72.4.1.1 ICZN: “For a nominal species or subspecies established before 2000, any evidence, published or unpublished, may be taken into account to determine what specimens constitute the type series.” Sandberger's later text is deemed to be such evidence. Obviously the possibility exists that he may have acquired some material after the publication of the figures, but this can neither be proven no-r disproven. To exclude the possibility that such (hypothetical) material be included in the type series, a lectotype from the proven original material would need to be selected. Such proof will in most cases only be the identification of the figured specimen(s). In this paper we refrain from such lectotype fixations, because they should be done only when the Sandberger collection in the MUWI (and possible other institutions) have been checked.
We accepted all infraspecific names as of subspecies rank and therefore as available (article 45.6 ICZN), even where authors, notably Jooss (1912) and Gottschick (1911–1922), differentiated two or even three categories of infraspecific taxa. It proved impossible to determine consistently whether those names were intended as of subspecific or infrasubspecific rank. None of the authors gave an explanation for the meaning of the terms “var.” [varieties] and “f.” [forma]; the way these terms were applied, it seemed in some cases that “forma” denoted variants of lower rank than “varieta”’, but in others no consistent or convincing difference of taxonomic status could be inferred. Moreover, the ICZN (articles 10.2 and 45.6.4.1) accepts even infrasubspecific names published before 1961 as available if they had been so accepted by subsequent authors, which may have happened in some cases.
The authorship of names had to be reviewed in accordance with article 50.1 ICZN. It had been general practice in the 19th century and even later to accord authorship to the person who coined a name, regardless whether he published it in a way that satisfied the criteria of availability or not, or if he even did not publish it at all, as in the case of names in manuscripts, written communications or collection labels. Finally, the evidence for the actual dates of many publications were checked. Details are given in the reference list.
Several of the nominal species-group taxa were in this paper identified as junior primary or secondary homonyms. Although articles 57.2 and 60.1 ICZN require the junior homonyms to be replaced, we have refrained from so doing except in one case, because (1) of a high probability that article 23.9.5 may be applicable in many cases, i.e., if the primary homonyms were no longer treated as congeneric after 1899, and/or (2) the possibility of a subjective synonym being available as a replacement name could not be categorically ruled out without a taxonomic revision of nominal species similar to the junior homonym (such revision, however, is beyond the scope of this paper). According to article 23.9.5, these cases need to be referred to the ICZN for a ruling.
The classification used here follows Bouchet et al. (2005), complemented by Nordsieck's review (2014); taxa not covered by these works follow Zilch (1959–1960). Where available, other taxonomic revisions were taken into consideration, but all too often the fallback option was to quote Wenz's (1923–1930) synonymies and genus allocations. In many cases the taxonomic status of the nominal species-group taxa is uncertain and in need of revision. Likewise, the stratigraphical and age data presented here are the currently accepted ones whenever possible. However, several of the fossil outcrops remained unstudied after the late 19th and early 20th centuries' works and thus the age given (found on these papers) might be misleading.
3. List of types
acuminata (Klein, 1846), Pupa (Plate 1, Figs. 1–2)
Pupa acuminata Klein, 1846: 75, pl. 1, fig. 19a, b.
Syntypes: SMNS 106361 (2 specimens, from Hohenmemmingen).
Type localities: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Dächingen, öpfingen and Hohenmemmingen, Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Gastrocopta (Albinula) acuminata (Klein, 1846) (revised by Manganelli & Giusti 2000). Family Gastrocoptidae.
Remarks: Klein based the species on incompletely preserved specimens, and figured one with a visible columellar lamella; nevertheless, this feature cannot be seen in the two present specimens.
alsaticus Jooss, 1918a, Zonites (Grandipatula) (Plate 1, Fig. 3a, b)
Zonites (Grandipatula) alsaticus Jooss, 1918a: 166, figs. 1–3.
Holotype: SMNS 65581.
Type locality: France: Alsace: Bouxwiller (“Buchsweiler”), Bastberg, Süßwasserkalk [freshwater limestone] of the Bouxwiller Formation.
Age: Middle Eocene (Lutetian; MP 13).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Grandipatula alsatica (Jooss, 1918a). Family Grandipatulidae.
alveum Jooss, 1918b, Galactochilus (Plate 1, Fig. 4a–c)
See alveus Sandberger, 1875, Helix.
alveus Sandberger, 1875, Helix (Plate 1, Fig. 4a–c)
Helix alveus Sandberger, 1875: 459 (Markbronn, “Nur ein fast vollständiges Stück in der Sammlung des Herrn Caplan Dr. Miller (…)”) [non Helix alveus C.B. Adams, 1850 (5): 80].
Galactochilus alveum Jooss, 1918b: 293.
Syntype?: SMNS 106362.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Blaustein (Markbronn), upper “Rugulosa-Thalfinger-Schichten”. Age: Early Miocene (Aquitanian; MN 2).
Taxonomic status: Potentially valid, as Pseudochloritis? alveus (Sandberger, 1875). Family Elonidae (Eloninae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
Remarks: (1) The species epithet is a noun in apposition (alveus, Lat.: a beehive) and therefore immutable. The name alveum Jooss is the same word with a variant gender ending, and hence an unjustified emendation. The intentional spelling change is evident by Jooss citing Helix alveus Sandberger correctly. Names published as unjustified emendations are available and can be utilized to substitute junior primary homonyms (Art. 33.2.3 ICZN). For the reasons given in the preceding chapter, we refrain from substituting the name alveus Sandberger for the time being. (2) Sandberger (1875) mentioned one nearly complete specimen in the collection of Miller, and damaged specimens from Gamerschwang and Öpfingen. The present specimen is the former, as it bears original labels from Sandberger and Miller. Jooss' label also indicates it as Sandberger's original material. (3) Jooss (1918b), believing erroneously that Sandberger had published a nomen nudum, treated “alveum” as a new species and provided a redescription (using the same type as Sandberger). As Jooss' intention was to redescribe Helix alveus Sandberger, which is cited as a synonym, Galactochilus alveum “Jooss” is not a new nominal species. (4) Sandberger compared this species with Cyrtochilus expansilabris (Sandberger), which is a significantly smaller species. Galactochilus species are larger than alveus, but similar in habitus: e.g., Galactochilus ehingensis as illustrated by Sandberger (1875: 457, pl. 29, fig. 10, from Eggingen near Ulm) measures 26–36 mm, while alveus measures 20–24 mm. Pseudochloritis species are of similar size, but usually with a more depressed spire and at least partially open umbilicus (Binder 2008).
amerbachensis Jooss, 1912a, Limnophysa (Plate 1, Fig. 5)
Limnophysa amerbachensis Jooss, 1912a: 90; Jooss, 1912b: 168, pl. 4, fig. 8, 8a.
Syntypes: SMNS 23918 (2 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Dobelbuck (“Hobelsbuck”) near Amerbach (Wemding), Pomatias-Süßwasserkalk des Rieses [Pomatias freshwater limestone of the Ries area].
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Junior synonym of Stagnicola fabulum (Brongniart, 1810) (fide Kadolsky 2014). Family Lymnaeidae (Lynmaeinae).
ammoni Clessin, 1894, Hyalinia (Vitrea) (Plate 1, Fig. 6a, b)
Hyalina (Vitrea) Ammoni Clessin, 1894: 29.
Syntypes: SMNS 106363 (3 specimens) and 106364 (1 specimen).
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Nittendorf (Undorf), mittlere Silvanaschichten [middle Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid as Vitrea ammoni (Clessin, 1894) (fide Wenz 1923). Family Pristilomatidae.
Remarks: The syntypes seem to belong to several species (and genera?), as remarked by Clessin (1894) himself. We figure here the specimen which was alone in the lot (SMNS 106364), which possibly is the one to which the description refers to. In the original description, Clessin lists seven specimens; the extra three specimens may be lost, as one lot of this material (SMNS 45257/2005) was not found in the collection.
angitorta Jooss, 1912c, Helicodonta (Helicodonta s. str.) involuta (Plate 1, Fig. 7a–c)
Helicodonta (Helicodonta s. str.) involuta var. angitorta Jooss, 1912c: 34, pl. 2, fig. 3, 3a.

Archaeozonites angulosus Miller, 1907: 443, pl. 8, fig. 13a–c.
Syntype: SMNS 27620.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Blaustein (Arnegg), karst fissure limestone.
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Valid. Family Archaeozonitidae.
Remarks: Miller (1907) mentioned several specimens.
antiqua Zieten, 1832, Pupa
See schuebleri Klein, 1846, Pupa.
antiqua Klein, 1852, Glandina (Achatina) (Plate 1, Fig. 9)
Glandina (Achatina) antiqua Klein, 1852: 162, pl. 3, fig. 9.
Syntypes: SMNS 23908 (3 specimens, from Ulm).
Type localities: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: near Ehingen, Michaelsberg near Ulm, near Hohenmemmingen.
Age: Early Miocene (Aquitanian; MN 2).
Taxonomic status: Junior synonym of Palaeoglandina gracilis (Zieten, 1832). Family Oleacinidae.
Remarks: The specimens' label indicates only Ulm. The specimen figured by Klein (1852) is the one indicated as SMNS 23908a in the collection.
antiqua Miller, 1907, Patula (Plate 1, Fig. 10a–c)
Patula antiqua Miller, 1907: 454, pl. 9, fig. 13a–c.
Syntype: SMNS 27641.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Bachhagel, karst fissure limestone.
Age: Eocene.
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Discus antiquus (Miller, 1907) comb. nov. Family Discidae.
Remarks: Miller (1907) reported this species as frequent.
antiquior Miller, 1907, Clausilia (Plate 1, Fig. 11)
Clausilia antiquior Miller, 1907: 455, pl. 9, fig. 16.
Syntype: SMNS 27644.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Bachhagel, karst fissure limestone.
Age: Eocene.
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Triptychia antiquior (Miller, 1907) (fide Schnabel 2007: 27, pl. 1, fig.1). Family Filholiidae.
Remarks: Miller (1907) reported two fragmentary specimens, of which Schnabel (2007) designated one invalidly as holotype.
arneggensis Wenz, 1923,? Pomatias (Plate 1, Fig. 12)
Cyclotus scalaris Miller, 1907: 439, pl. 7, fig. 2 a–e [non Cyclostoma scalare Pfeiffer, 1851a (: 250), placed in genus Cyclotus by Pfeiffer 1851b (: 135, no. 34) and Reeve 1863 (: pl. 9, fig. 51)].
?Pomatias arneggense [sic] Wenz, 1923: 1802.
Lectotype (herein): SMNS 27614-a.
Paralectotype: SMNS 27614-b (1 operculum).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Blaustein (Arnegg), karst fissure limestone.
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Pomatias (Neobembridgia) arneggensis Wenz, 1923 (fide Kadolsky 1989). Family Pomatiidae (Pomatiinae).
Remarks: The operculum is too small to belong to the shell and thus must come from a different individual. We select here the shell as the lectotype.
arneggensis Miller, 1907, Trochomorpha (Plate 1, Fig. 13a, b)
Trochomorpha arneggensis Miller, 1907: 443, pl. 8, fig. 14a–c.
Syntypes: SMNS 27621 (3 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Blaustein (Arnegg), karst fissure limestone.
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Archaeozonites? arneggensis (Miller 1907). Family Archaeozonitidae.
Remarks: Wenz (1923: 251) lists this taxon as a possible synonym of Archaeozonites angulosus Miller, 1907. This is incorrect, as arneggensis is almost half the size at a similar number of whorls. It is therefore rather small for the genus Archaeozonites and may in fact not belong to it, but a more definite genus attribution requires further study.
arneggensis Miller, 1907, Laminifera (Plate 1, Fig. 14a–c)
Clausilia (Laminifera) n. sp. O. Boettger, 1877: 106.
Laminifera arneggensis Miller, 1907: 446. textfig. 23. pl. 8, fig. 23a.
Syntypes: SMNS 27629 (3 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Blaustein (Arnegg), karst fissure limestone.
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Valid (fide Nordsieck 2000, 2007). Family Clausiliidae (Laminiferinae).
Remarks: The only specimen with part of the body whorl preserved does not agree well with the figures provided by Miller (1907), because it does not show the detachment of the body whorl, which is a typical character of Laminifera and is strongly developed in L. arneggensis, according to Miller's figures and text. Probably the detached part of the last whorl shown by Miller (1907) has broken off and would thus be lost.
arneggensis Miller, 1907, Bulimus (Petraeus) (Plate 1, Fig. 15)
Bulimus (Petraeus) arneggensis Miller, 1907: 446, pl. 8, fig. 21a–c.
Syntypes: SMNS 36777 (4 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Blaustein (Arnegg), karst fissure limestone.
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Palaeomastus arneggensis (Miller, 1907) comb. nov. Family Enidae. The shell shows the conical spire considered as diagnostic for the genus Palaeomastus H. Nordsieck, 2014.
badensis Jooss, 1924 , Zonites (Aegopis) algiroides (Plate 1, Fig. 16a, b)
Zonites (Aegopis) algiroides badensis Jooss, 1924: 193, pl. 11, figs. 5–7.

Age: Miocene (“Mittelvindobon”).
Taxonomic status: Unknown, probably a synonym of Megalotachea eversa (Deshayes, 1851). Family Helicidae (Helicinae).

Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Subjective synonym of Klikia? praeosculina (Miller, 1907) (fide Wenz 1923). Family Elonidae (Klikiinae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
boettgeriana Clessin, 1877, Hyalinia (Plate 2, Fig. 3a, b)
Hyalina Böttgeriana Clessin, 1877: 35.
Hyalina Boettgeri Clessin, 1885: 75 [unjustified emendation or spelling error].
Holotype: SMNS 106370.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Nittendorf (Undorf), mittlere Silvanaschichten [middle Silvana-beds],
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Perpolita boettgeriana (Clessin, 1877) (fide Kadolsky herein). Family Oxychilidae (Godwiniinae). Wenz (1923), however, placed the species in Zonitoides (family Gastrodontidae).

Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Discus costatus (Gottschick, 1911) comb. nov. Family Discidae.
Remarks: Gottschick (1911) mentioned two localities in the Steinheim Basin; thus he must have had more than one specimen at his disposal.
costatus Klein, 1846, Planorbis (Plate 3, Figs. 2a, b)
Planorbis costatus Klein, 1846: 78, pl. 1, fig. 24a–c.

Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Strobilops costata (Clessin, 1877). Family Strobilopsidae.
Remarks: The specimen's label states that it is the material used by Clessin (1885), not 1877. Clessin (1877) reported the species as very rare, without stating the number of specimens, but his measurements correspond very closely to the present specimen. A second lot is recorded as “on loan” in the collection (SMNS 45172/2005), but could not be traced.

Age: Early Miocene (Aquitanian; MN 1-2).
Taxonomic status: Junior synonym of Palaeotachea subsulcosa (Thomä, 1845). Family Helicidae (Helicinae).
Remarks: One of the present specimens (SMNS 23209-b) compares reasonably well with the one figured by Sandberger (1874), but it is not a perfect match, as its apex is broken and slightly bent to the side. Sandberger's illustration could, of course, be a reconstruction of this fossil (with the axial sculpture being more marked to emphasize its presence), but it is more prudent to leave the status of these specimens as types tentative. A large lot of syntypes (from Eckingen) is present in the MUWI.

flachi Clessin, 1911, Acme (Plate 4, Fig. 8)
Acme Flachi Clessin, 1911: 9.
Acme Flachi Clessin, 1913: 110 [described again as new species].
Lectotype (herein): SMNS 106391-a.
Paralectotype: SMNS 106391-b. The paralectotype actually belongs to Acicula diezi (Flach 1889); it is a relatively broader specimen, which fits well with this species, likewise described from Undorf.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Nittendorf (Undorf), mittlere Silvanaschichten [middle Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Acicula flachi (Clessin, 1911). Family Aciculidae.
Remarks: Kadolsky (2008a) doubted that these specimens were syntypes of Acme flachi Clessin, 1911, because the measurements given by Clessin do not agree with these specimens. It is now assumed that these measurements were incorrect, and that the two preserved specimens represent two of the three syntypes mentioned by Clessin (1911), for the following reasons: (1) Many of Clessin's measurements of small specimens were incorrect. (2) The specimens are dark grey, which is close to Clessin's statement that they were black; this coloration is less common for mollusks from Undorf, which are mostly white. (3) The incised collabral lines mentioned by Clessin are well developed. (4) It is implausible that Clessin or Jooss (who incorporated Clessin's collection in his own and who replaced any earlier label with his own) should have labelled the wrong specimens as Clessin's syntypes, and that the supposed real syntypes (which would agree with Clessin's dimensions) were absent.

Age: Lower Miocene (Aquitanian).
Taxonomic status: Valid as Pseudamnicola? giraudi (Dollfus, 1908) (fide Kadolsky herein), Family Hydrobiidae (Pseudamnicolinae?).
Remarks: It is unclear whether the date “April 1911” on Jooss' label is the date of collection or the date of his acquisition of the material. Only in the latter case the specimens could possibly be syntypes of Dollfus' species.

Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Maselheim (Heggbach), middle Silvana-beds (“Silvanaschichten”).
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Milax gracilior (Sandberger, 1875). Family Milacidae.
Remarks: Sandberger (1875) gives the type locality as Biberach (from Probst coll.), but the label gives the more precise locality of Heggbach, which is part of the Biberach district.
gracilis Sandberger, 1872, Bithynia (Plate 4, Fig. 16)
Paludina tentaculata: Krauss, 1852: 140–141 (Thon der untersten Fischschicht von Unterkirchberg) [non Helix tentaculata Linnaeus, 1758 (:774, no. 616)].

Paratypes?: SMNS 106395(numerous opercula), SMNS 106396 (rock fragment with numerous shells and moulds) and 106750 (3 specimens), all Krauss coll., from: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Kirchberg an der Iller, Kirchberg Formation.
Type localities: Germany: Bavaria: Leipheim near Günzburg, and Kirchberg an der Iller; both Kirchberg Formation.
Age: Late Early Miocene (Burdigalian/Ottnangian. MN4b).
Taxonomic status: Junior synonym of Bithynia glabra (Ziften, 1832). Family Bithyniidae.
Remarks: Sandberger (1872) introduced this nominal species with the illustration of a named specimen (1872: pl. 28, fig. 16–16a), which was later said to be from Leipheim (1875: 561). In the later published text (1875: 561, 575) he cites material from numerous additional localities, including that reported by Krauss (1852), which are preserved in SMNS. Since it is most likely that Sandberger had all this material at his disposal when he had the illustration of his Bythinia gracilis prepared, Krauss's material has thus the status of syntypes (see articles 72.4.1 and 72.4.1.1 ICZN).
gracilis Jooss, 1912a, Limnophysa amerbachensis (Plate 4, Figs. 17–18)

Age: Middle Miocene (MN 4–5).
Taxonomic status: Possibly valid, as Leucochroopsis helicidarum (Jooss, 1918b). Family Hygromiidae (Hygromiinae).

incrassata Klein, 1853, Helix (Plate 5, Fig. 7a–c)
Helix incrassata Klein, 1853: 208, pl. 5, fig. 6 [non Helix incrassata Reeve, 1853 (: pl. 150, species 972)].
Syntypes?: SMNS 22737 (2 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Zwiefaltendorf “bei der Birk” (KLEIN 1853: 203), Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Pseudochloritis incrassata (Klein, 1853) (fide Binder 2008). Family Elonidae (Eloninae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
Remarks: (1) Two specimens in the SMNS collection (no. 22737) were hitherto believed to be Klein's originals of his Helix incrassata, but the earliest available label gives the date as the year 1854, with the forester von Zell as the collector or donor, and the locality as Zwiefalten. There is no label from Klein's hand, unlike the case of Helix inflexa (q.v.). As Klein received the material for his 1853 paper from Zell, the year 1854 can only mean that Zell collected or passed the specimens on in 1854, be it to Klein or to the SMNS. The later display labels state that the material is Klein's originals of Helix incrassata, and give the locality as Zwiefalten. The discrepancies between the original and the subsequent labels could possibly be explained by a more or less arbitrary reinterpretation of the specimens' status and locality, or by a mix-up of different labels. In the latter case the “1854” label may not belong to the two specimens, which could then indeed be syntypes of Helix incrassata Klein. Neither possibility can be proved or disproved, but it should be noted that the specimens are in shape and size close to Klein's figures, although these show an intact specimen unlike the actual ones; it was. however, common practice to idealize and reconstruct figures. The best preserved of the two specimens is here figured as a questionable syntype (Plate 5. Fig. 7a–c). (2) Reeve's description of Helix incrassata is dated February 1853; Klein's paper is listed in “Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie etc.” 1853(6): 689, which printed letters to the editors dated up to 15.9.1853, i.e., it was received by the editors within a similar time. Thus, Klein's paper was published clearly later than February 1853 and consequently Helix incrassata Klein is a junior primary homonym. Its substitution is not mandatory if the conditions of Article 23.9.5 ICZN are met; a request for a ruling of the Commission under its plenary powers to validate the junior homonymous name is intended.
inflexa C. Boettger, 1909, Pseudochloritis (Plate 5, Fig. 8a–c)
Helix inflexa “Zieten” Klein, 1846: 71, pl. 1, fig. 12a, b [non Zieten, 1832]. Helix inflexa “von Martens”: Sandberger, 1872: pl. 29, fig. 8, 8b. Helix (Campylaea) inflexa “Klein”: Sandberger, 1875: 589 (ref. pl. 29, fig. 8, 8b) (author: “Klein non v. Martens sp. Zieten”). Pseudochloritis inflexa “Klein”: C. Boettger, 1909: 15.
Syntypes: SMNS 22736 (3 specimens).
Type localities: Zwiefaltendorf (Klein 1846), but Mörsingen on original label, Silvanaschichten; 5 other localities mentioned by Klein (1846).
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: A junior subjective synonym of Pseudochloritis incrassata (Klein, 1853) (fide Binder 2008; Nordsieck 2014). Family Elonidae (Eloninae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
Remarks: (1) In the introduction of the genus-group name Pseudochloritis, C. Boettger cited the type species merely as “inflexa Klein”, meaning Helix inflexa sensu Klein 1846, which is a misidentification of Helix inflexa Zieten, 1832 (Die Versteinerungen Württembergs: 41, pl. 31, figs. 1a-c). This is a deliberate application of a misidentification, whereby C. Boettger created a new species-group name (article 11.10 ICZN). This name is unnecessary, as the subjective synonym Helix incrassata Klein, 1853 (q.v.) and others exist for the species in question. (2) While Klein (1846) believed to be describing Zieten's “Helix” inflexa, Sandberger (1875) suggested that Zieten’s name actually referred to a large specimen of Megalotachea silvana (Klein); but as Zieten’s originals were lost, his species could no longer be identified with any certainty and hence the name inflexa Zieten could not be used. Sandberger argued that it was therefore acceptable to use the name inflexa in the sense of Klein, and with Klein as its author. His action could be construed as the introduction of a new nominal species available from Sandberger (1875), albeit knowingly introduced as a junior primary homonym. In this interpretation Klein's material would also be part of the type series. We suggest, however, that Sandberger's action is simply the continuation of a misidentification initiated by Klein (1846).

Poiretia (Palaeoglandina) gracilis var. insignis Jooss, 1918b: 288; Jooss 1924: 189, pl. 11, figs. 1–2.

Syntype: SMNS 27642.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Bachhagel, karst fissure limestone.

Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Strobilops joossii (Gottschick, 1911). Family Strobilopsidae.
Remarks: Gottschick (1911) mentioned two localities in the Steinheim Basin; thus he must have had more than one specimen at his disposal.

Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Dächingen and Hohenmemmingen (Klein 1846); the original label gives Hohenmemmingen, but the subsequent one “Däschingen”; Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Gyraulus kleini Gottschick & Wenz, 1916. Family Planorbidae (Planorbinae).

Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Zwiefalten, Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Triptychia kleini Schnabel, 2006. Family Filholiidae.
Remarks: The species was revised by Schnabel (2006), who also coined a new name, since the epithet “grandis” was preoccupied. Schnabel (2006), believing the types were lost, designated a neotype from the SMF collection. However, the type series is actually present in Klein's original material in the SMNS collection. Article 75.8 of the ICZN (1999) states: “If, after the designation of a neotype, the name-bearing type (holotype, syntypes, lectotype or previous neotype) of the nominal species-group taxon that was (were) presumed lost is (are) found still to exist, on publication of that discovery the rediscovered material again becomes the name-bearing type and the neotype is set aside (...)”. The material in the SMNS collection thus constitutes syntypes. In the species' original description (Klein 1846), the figured specimen is clearly a composite drawn from all the available specimens. Therefore, here we designate as lectotype the aperture fragment, which bears the most important characters for clausilioid taxonomy.

Syntypes: SMNS 105004 (4 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Emerberg near Zwiefalten, in a gully running towards Ober-Wilzingen; Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian/Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Subjective synonym of Palaeotachea dentula (Quenstedt, 1867). Family Helicidae (Helicinae).
Remarks: (1) Wenz (1919a) substituted the preoccupied name Helix pachystoma Klein, but withdrew this name later (1919b: 64), when he recognized that the earlier name Helix dentula Quenstedt referred to the same species. (2) Wenz (1919a: 70) designated as “Typus” of Cepaea dentula a specimen from Emerberg near Oberwilzingen in his collection. This is incorrect, because as a substitution name, Cepaea lepida has the same name-bearing type as the replaced name, Helix pachystoma Klein.

Syntype: SMNS 27628.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Blaustein (Arnegg), karst fissure limestone.
Age: Early Oligocene (Rupelian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Cochlicopa milleri Wenz, 1919. Family Cochlicopidae.
Remarks: (1) Wenz (1919) substituted the name Cionella exigua Miller as a putative junior homonym of Achatina exigua Menke, 1830 (: 29), which is, however, a nomen nudum. Moquin-Tandon (1856) eventually provided a diagnosis for the name exigua “Menke” and made it thus an available name for a modern form of Cochlicopa. (2) Miller mentioned several specimens from Arnegg and one from Eselsberg, which were kept in the Munich museum.

Taxonomic status: Valid, as Theodoxus obtusangula (Krauss, 1852) (fide Salvador et al. submitted). Family Neritidae (Neritininae).
Remarks: The species epithet is derived from Lat. angulus (an angle); as such, “angula” is still a substantive with a variant gender ending and therefore not declensable.
oligocaenica Miller, 1907, Clausilia (Plate 6, Fig. 19)
Clausilia oligocaenica Miller, 1907: 449, fig. 29.
Holotype: SMNS 27647.

pachygastra Miller, 1900, Pupa (Torquilla) schuebleri (Plate 7, Fig. 1)

Pupa (Torquilla) Schübleri var. pachygastra (Fraas MS.) Miller, 1900: 397, pl. 7, fig. 12 [non Pupa pachygastra Rossmässler, 1837 (: 11, pl. 23, fig. 314, P. oblongata on plate)].
Syntype: SMNS 106416.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Steinheim am Albuch, Steinheimer Seeschichten [Steinheim Lake beds].
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Granaria crassiventrosa nom. nov. (revised by Höltke & Rasser 2013, as Granaria pachygastra). Family Chondrinidae.
Remarks: (1) The single specimen in the SMNS collection is the original of Fraas (1882). Höltke & Rasser (2013) argued that its type status is uncertain because it cannot be established that Miller (1900) based his diagnosis of the “variety” pachygastra on this specimen. But Miller gave a bibliographic reference to Fraas' publication, whereby it is included in the type series. It is unknown whether Miller had additional specimens at his disposal. (2) As the name pachygastra is preoccupied, herein we substitute it by Granaria crassiventer nom. nov. The epithet, crassiventer, is the Latin translation of the Greek pachygastra, meaning “fat belly”. It is a noun in apposition, i.e., it is unchangeable. Article 23.9.5 ICZN is not applicable in this case, because both homonyms are still placed in the genus Granaria; pachygastra Rossmässler, 1837 was used as a valid name by Pilsbry (1918: 302, pl. 42 fig. 7, 10, 11; as Abida frumentum pachygastra) and is listed as a subjective synonym of Granaria frumentum illyrica (Rossmässler, 1835) by Féher et al. (2010: 203, figs. 3K–L).

Remarks: Jooss (1912a) introdued the taxon with the words “Ericia schneidti is a smaller Cyclostoma from the group of C. (Ericia) bisulcatum Zieten” [translated from German], which is deemed insufficient as a diagnosis. Jooss dedicated the taxon to Theodor Schneid, whose name he consistently misspelt. Only in the follow-up publication (1912b) did Jooss provide a diagnosis, figure and the correct spelling of the name of the person to be honoured. Even if the original words (1912a) would satisfy the requirement of a diagnosis or definition (article 12.1 ICZN), schneidti is to be treated as an incorrect original spelling and to be corrected to schneidi (see article 32.5.1 ICZN, in particular the example).
schuebleri Klein, 1846, Pupa (Plate 8, Fig. 3)
Pupa antiqua (Schübler MS) Zieten, 1832: 39, pl. 29, fig. 7 [non Mathéron, 1832 (: 56, pl. 1, figs. 4–5)]
Pupa Schübleri Klein, 1846: 74, pl. 1, fig. 18.
Neotype: SMNS 100110-1.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Steinheim am Albuch, Steinheimer Seeschichten [Steinheim Lake beds].
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Granaria schuebleri (Klein, 1846) (fide Höltke & Rasser 2013). Family Chondrinidae.
Remarks: (1) The neotype defined by Höltke & Rasser (2013) is also the neotype for Pupa antiqua Zieten, as Klein proposed the name schuebleri as a substitute name for Pupa antiqua (article 72.7 ICZN). (2) The name Pupa antiqua has been published nearly simultaneously by Mathéron and Zieten late in 1832. Höltke & Rasser (2013) discussed the question of precedence, which is here briefly restated, updated and formally resolved in accordance with the IZCN. Mathéron's work appeared in the September/October issue of volume 3 of the Annales des Sciences et de l'Industrie du Midi de la France, i.e., most likely in or after October 1832. Heft 5–6 of Zieten's work is reported in Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie, Geognosie, Geologie und Petrefaktenkunde 1833, issue 1. This issue contains letters to the editors dated till 22.11.1832; for Heft 5–6 of Zieten's work to be reported in that issue, it must have been received by the editors at a similar time. The previous issue of this journal (1832[4]) contains letters dated till 10.8.1832, i.e., Zieten's Heft 5–6 had not been received by that date by the editors. The SMNS copy of Zieten's work states only “second half of 1832”. The date can now be narrowed down to “after 10.8.1832” and “before 22.11.1832”. (3) As the precedence between Mathéron's and Zieten's works cannot be established with any certainty, we determine hereby as First Revisers (article 24.2.1 ICZN) that Mathéron's work shall be accorded precedence over Zieten's Heft 5–6. This is in accordance with the actions of Klein (1846) and Höltke & Rasser (2013). Thus, Pupa antiqua Mathéron, 1832 will have precedence over Pupa antiqua Zieten, 1832, for which the substitute Pupa schuebleri Klein, 1846 becomes the valid name. Pupa subantiqua A. d'Orbigny, 1850 (: 208) thus becomes an unnecessary replacement name for Pupa antiqua Mathéron, 1832.
semiconvexa Sandberger, 1875, Hydrobia (Plate 8, Figs. 4–5)
Litorinella acuta: Krauss, 1852: 142 [non Cyclostoma acutum Draparnaud, 1805].
Hydrobia semiconvexa Sandberger, 1875: 561.
Paralectotypes: SMNS 2864 (6 specimens), 106428 (9 specimens; Figs. 4–5) and 106429 (7 specimens); leg. Gatekunst 1851.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Leipheim, Kirchberg Formation. The paralectotypes in SMNS are from Kirchberg an der Iller (now Illerkirchberg), “bläulichgrauen weichen Thon” [bluish-gray soft clay layer] of the Kirchberg Formation.
Age: Late Early Miocene (Burdigalian/ Ottnangian, MN 4b).
Taxonomic status: The type series is a mixture of four different species. The lectotype, designated by Kadolsky (this volume), and the remaining 8 specimens from the lot in Sandberger's collection in the MUWI are for the time being classified as “Hydrobia” semiconvexa Sandberger, 1875 (family Hydrobiidae), but may belong to Heleobia (family Cochliopidae). Lot SMNS 106428 consists of 9 specimens of Nematurella zilchi Schlickum, 1960; lot SMNS 2864 consists of 2 Nematurella sp. (white fosssils) and 7 Ctyrokya conoidea (Krauss, 1852) (blackish fossils); lot SMNS 106429 consists of two rock fragments with many shells of Nematurella sp., Ctyrokya conoidea and Bithynia glabra (Zieten, 1832).
Remarks: (1) Sandberger's own type material is preserved in MUWI and is the species so identified by Schlickum (1960) and subsequent authors in the genus Hydrobia. Because Sandberger also included “Litorinella acuta Braun” sensu Krauss (1852) in his Hydrobia semiconvexa, Krauss' material is part of the type series. Krauss received his material from Fr. Gatekunst of Ulm, whom he mentions [1852: 136] as a punctual collector providing fossils to the Königliche Naturaliencabinet. This material, however, is a mixture of several species (see above). Although Ctyrokya conoidea, Bithynia glabra and all shells which are not white do not agree with the data published by Krauss for his “Litorinella acuter”, lots SMNS 2864 and SMNS 106429 were labelled Hydrobia semiconvexa by Sandberger. (2) Krauss, as well as other contemporaneous authors, cite A. Braun 1851 as the author of “Litorinella acuta”. But this species is based on Cyclostoma acutum Draparnaud 1805, as Braun's reference to modern occurrences in the Mediterranean lagoons of France make obvious. Cyclostoma acutum Draparnaud 1805 is the type species of Hydrobia Hartmann 1821 and of Litorinella A. Braun 1843.
serratiliniformis Geyer, 1914, Neritina (Plate 8, Figs. 6a, b)
Neritina serratiliniformis Geyer, 1914: 131, pl. 2, figs. 7, 9–12.
Lectotype (herein): SMNS 13514-a.
Paralectotype: SMNS 13514-b (39 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Bietigheim-Bissingen, Enzschotter [gravels of the river Enz].
Age: Pleistocene.
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Theodoxus serratiliniformis (Geyer, 1914) (fide Glöer 2002). Family Neritidae (Neritininae).
Remarks: We designate here as lectotype the best preserved specimen, also figured in the original description (Geyer 1914: fig. 12).
silvana Klein, 1853, Helix (Plate 8, Fig. 7a–c)
Helix silvana Klein, 1853: 205, pl. 5, fig. 2.
Syntype: SMNS 22738.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Zwiefalten (near Mörsingen), Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomie status: Valid, as Megalotachea silvana (Klein, 1853) (revised by Höltke in preparation). Family Helicidae (Helicinae).
Remarks: Klein (1853) reported the species as fairly rare (“seltener”), which does not exclude that he had more than one specimen at his disposal.
sparsa Krauss, 1852, Neritina (Plate 8, Fig. 8)
Neritina sparsa Krauss, 1852: 145.
Syntypes: SMNS 106430 (7 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Kirchberg an der Iller, Kirchberg Formation.
Age: Late Early Miocene (Burdigalian/Ottnangian, MN 4b).
Taxonomie status: Synonym of Theodoxus cyrtocelis (Krauss, 1852) (Salvador et al. submitted). Family Neritidae (Neritininae).
steinheimensis Klein, 1846, Helix (Plate 8, Fig. 9a–c)
Helix Steinheimensis Klein, 1846: 70, pl. 1, fig. 10a, b.
Holotype: SMNS 106431.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Steinheim am Albuch, Steinheimer Seeschichten [Steinheim Lake Formation].
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomie status: Synonym of Joossia insignis (Ziften, 1832) (Binder 2008; Nordsieck 2014) or Pseudochloritis insignis (fide Höltke & Rasser 2015). Family Elonidae (Eloninae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
steinheimensis Jooss, 1918b, Klikia (Klikia) coarctata (Plate 8, Fig. 10a–c)
Klikia (Klikia) coarctata var. steinheimensis Jooss, 1918b: 294.
Syntype?: SMNS 106432.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Steinheim am Albuch, Steinheimer Seeschichten [Steinheim Lake beds].
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomie status: Synonym of Apula coarctata (Klein, 1853). Family Elonidae (Klikiinae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
Remarks: There is no indication in the specimen's original label that it is a type (all the other material from Jooss' collection have such indication). Nevertheless, there is a second label signed by W. R. Schlickum stating that it is a lectotype. The original description is not accompanied by a figure to verify this claim and a lectotype designation has, to our knowledge, never been published. Therefore, the status of the present specimen remains unknown.
striata Klein, 1846, Lymnaea socialis (Plate 8, Fig. 11)
Limnaeus socialis var. striata Klein, 1846: 85, pl. 2, fig. 10a, b [?non Limnaeus striatus Zieten, 1832 (: pl. 30, fig. 5)].
Syntypes: SMNS 23904 (2 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Steinheim am Albuch, Steinheimer Seeschichten [Steinheim Lake beds].
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Synonym of Radix socialis (Zieten, 1832). Family Lynmaeidae (Lynmaeinae).
Remarks: Klein stated that this variety was “probably” Limnaeus striatus Zieten, 1832, i.e., he introduced knowingly a nominal taxon which under the current Code is a junior primary homonym, but in Klein's time “varieties” were not considered to compete for homonymy with species names.
subapicalis Sandberger, 1872, Helix (Plate 8, Fig. 12a–c)
Helix subapicalis Sandberger, 1872: pl. 21, fig. 8, 8b.
Helix (Fruticicola) leptoloma var. subapicalis Sandberger 1875: 380 (ref. pl. 21, figs. 8, 8b).
Syntypes: SMNS 14917 (2 specimens, from Donaurieden).
Type localities: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Thalfingen, Eckingen, Göttingen (near Ulm), Erbach (Donaurieden), obere Rugulosa-Schichten [upper Rugulosa-beds].
Age: Early Miocene (Aquitanian; MN 2).
Taxonomic status: Synonym of Leucochroopsis apicalis (Reuss, 1860). Family Hygromiidae (Hygromiinae).
subcostata Clessin, 1913, Helix (Vallonia) (Plate 8, Figs. 13–15)
Helix (Vallonia) subcostata Clessin, 1913: 109 [non Vallonia lepida var. subcostata O. Boettger, 1903a (: 74); nec Helix reboudiana subcostata Bourguignat, 1863 (: 213, pl. 21, fig. 23)].
Lectotype: SMNS 106433 (designated by Gerber 1996).
Paralectotypes: SMNS 45162/2005 (9 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Nittendorf (Undorf), mittlere Silvanaschichten [middle Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Synonym of Vallonia subcyclophorella (Gottschick, 1911) (fide Gerber 1996). Family Valloniidae.
Remarks: (1) The lectotype and paralectotypes were designated by Gerber (1996). This material, as well as all or most of Clessin's other fossils, were on 2.5.1913 acquired by Jooss, who replaced all original labels with his own and discarded the originals, Jooss' label indicates that Clessin collected the specimens in 1910, but does not provide the name which Clessin gave them. Jooss determined them as Vallonia subcyclophorella undorfensis Jooss, which remains an unpublished und unavailable name. Conceivably Clessin's publication of the name subcostata escaped Jooss and was, moreover, not noted down by Clessin, who died 1911 and therefore might not have been able to update his label. (2) O. Boettger (1903) introduced the name subcostata independently for a different Vallonia form, which is considered to be conspecific with V. lepida (Reuss, 1849) (fide Gerber 1996).
subcyclophorella Gottschick, 1911, Helix (Vallonia)
Helix (Vallonia) subcyclophorella Gottschick, 1911: 503, pl. 7, fig. 2.
Neotype : SMNS 15817 (designated by Gerber 1996).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Steinheim am Albuch, Steinheimer Seeschichten [Steinheim lake beds], “laevis-Zone” [= Gyraulus kleini zone].
Age: Middle-Late Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Vallonia subcyclophorella (Gottschick, 1911) (fide Gerber 1996). Family Valloniidae.
Remarks: Although having been rather recently designated, this type could not be presently found in the collection.
subdiaphana Clessin, 1885, Hyalinia (Plate 8, Fig. 16a–c)
Hyalina subdiaphana Clessin, 1885: 75.
Holotype: SMNS 22755.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Berg near Ehingen (Donau), Ehinger Ramondi-Schichten [Ramondi beds of Ehingen].
Age: Late Oligocene (Chattian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Vitrea subdiaphana (Clessin, 1885). Family Pristilomatidae.
subfontanus Clessin, 1877, Planorbis (Hippeutis) (Plate 8, Fig. 17a–c)
Planorbis (Hippeutis) subfontanus Clessin, 1877: 39; Clessin 1885: 91, pl. 7, fig. 4a–c.
Syntypes: SMNS 106434 (2 juvenile specimens, from Undorf; actual syntypes are mixed with four other specimens). Type localities: Undorf and Mörsingen-Birk.
Age: Middle Miocene.
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Hippeutis subfontanus (Clessin, 1877). Family Planorbidae (Segmentininae).
Remarks: (1) Clessin (1877) described the species from two “unfinished” (i.e., juvenile) specimens. In 1885, he provided an illustration of the only fully grown specimen which he had subsequently acquired. The present lot consists of 4 juvenile and 2 adult specimens. It is impossible to identify the two juvenile syntypes or the figured adult (1885) in this lot, although they are almost certainly amongst the specimens. Apparently, non-type specimens had been added to the type series after 1877. (2) The figure from 1885 shows the proportions of the shell very different from those of the actual specimens, which is tentatively interpreted as a draftman's error. (3) Clessin (1877) included in his species specimens from Mörsingen-Birk from O. Boettger's collection, which is in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt a. Main. This material is thus part of the type series.
subfusiformis Sandberger, 1875, Pupa (Torquilla) (Plate 8, Fig. 18)
Pupa nov. spec.? Klein, 1853: 216.
Pupa (Torquilla) subfusiformis Sandberger, 1875: 598. Granaria subfusiformis: Höltke & Rasser, 2013: 190, fig. 4.7– 4.8.
Syntype : SMNS 100112 (from Zwiefalten).
Type localities: Zwiefalten, Mörsingen, Hausen near Ehingen, Georgsgemünd, Schönbrunn near Kipfenberg, Adelegg in Oberschwaben.
Age : M. Miocene, Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Taxonomie status: Granaria sp., indeterminable due to its incomplete preservation (fide Höltke & Rasser 2013). Family Chondrinidae.
Remarks: (1) As Sandberger (1875) included Klein's “Pupa n. sp.” in subfusiformis; it is a syntype. (2) Any redescription of this nominal species should be based on specimens from Schönbrunn near Kipfenberg, because of Sandberger's statement that he based his description on the best preserved specimens, which were from this locality.
subhammonis Gottschick, 1928, Zonitoides (Plate 8, Fig. 19a–c)
Zonitoides subhammonis Gottschick, 1928: 146, pl. 2, fig. 6.
Holotype: SMNS 15817.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Altheim, near Ehingen, Malleolatakalk [Malleolata limestone].
Age: Late Miocene.
Taxonomic status: Potentially valid, as Perpolita subhammonis (Gottschick, 1928). Family Oxychilidae (Godwiniinae).
subnitens Klein, 1853, Helix (Plate 8, Fig. 20a–c)
Helix subnitens Klein, 1853: 210, pl. 5, fig. 7.
Lectotype (herein): SMNS 106435-a.
Paralectotypes: SMNS 106435-b (2 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Zwiefalten (near Mörsingen), Silvana schichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Aegopinella subnitens (Klein, 1853) (fide Schlickum 1976, Nordsieck 2014). Family Oxychilidae (Godwiniinae).
Remarks: Type series with three specimens, we designate here the lectotype as the most complete specimen, which is also the one that best fits the original description and figures.
subteres Clessin, 1877, Helix (Patula) (Plate 9, Fig. 1)
Helix (Patula) subteres (Sandberger MS.) Clessin, 1877: 35.
Syntype: SMNS 68501.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Nittendorf (Undorf), mittlere Silvanaschichten [middle Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Lucilla subteres (Clessin, 1877) (fide Schlickum 1979a, as Helicodiscus (Hebetodiscus); and Salvador & Rasser 2014). Family Helicodiscidae.
Remarks : A later-added note by G. Falkner on the specimen's label states that it is the material used by Clessin (1877) and, thus, the holotype. As the original number of specimens was not stated (Clessin 1877), it is more prudent to treat the specimen as a syntype.
subtilisticta Sandberger, 1875, Helix (Plate 9, Fig. 2a–c)
Helix subtilisticta Sandberger, 1875: 459.
Syntypes: SMNS 14913 (3 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg:
Ehingen (Donau), Ehinger Ramondi-Schichten or RugulosaSchichten [Ramondi/Rugulosa-beds of Ehingen].
Age: Late Oligocene (Chattian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Pseudochloritis subtilisticta (Sandberger, 1875) (fide Binder 2008). Family Elonidae (Eloninae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
subtruncatula Clessin, 1885, Lymnaea (Plate 9, Fig. 3)
Limnaea subtruncatula Clessin, 1885: 89.
Limnaea subtruncata Clessin, 1894: 35 [error or unjustified emendation].
Holotype: SMNS 106436.
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Nittendorf (Undorf), originally assumed to be from the mittlere Silvanaschichten [middle Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5) or recent contamination.
Taxonomic status: The specimen is certainly a Galba s. str.; judging from its shape and state of preservation, it appears to be a recent specimen of Galba truncatula (O.F. Müller, 1774). Family Lymnaeidae (Lymnaeinae).
subventrosa Gottschick, 1921, Hydrobia (Plate 9, Fig. 4)
Hydrobia subventrosa Gottschick, 1921: 172.
Syntypes: SMNS 15523 (4 specimens) and 15817 (7 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Steinheim am Albuch, “Kaltwasserschichten” (=Gyraulus kleiniZone, Steinheimer Seeschichten) [“cold water beds”, Gyraulus kleini zone, Steinheim Lake Formation].
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Closely related to, or synonym of Heleobia trochulus (Sandberger, 1875) (cf. Kadolsky 2008b). Family Cochliopidae.
subvermiculata Sandberger, 1875, Helix (Macularia) (Plate 9, Fig. 5a–c)
Helix Leymeriana Sandberger, 1872: pl. 29, fig.11 [non Noulet, 1854 (: 73)].
Helix (Macularia) subvermiculata Sandberger, 1875: 591 (ref. pl. 29, fig. 11).
Syntype?: SMNS 10920, from Mörsingen.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Mörsingen, Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds] and seven other localities in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Switzerland.
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Junior synonym of Megalotachea silvana (Klein, 1853). Family Helicidae (Helicinae).
Remarks: The present specimen compares well in shape with the one figured by Sandberger (1872), from Mörsingen. Nevertheless, it does not show the dark spiral bands depicted in the figure, even under UV light. As such, this specimen status as a type remain questionable. The labels state there was a second specimen in the lot, but it could not be located. There are presently three further syntypes in the MUWI collection.
suevica Gottschick & Wenz , 1927, Helicopsis (Plate 9, Fig. 6a–c)
Helicopsis suevica Gottschick & Wenz, 1927: 148, pl. 8, fig. 2a, b.
Syntype: SMNS 22828.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Zwiefaltendorf, sand pit, reworked block from the Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds] in Pleistocene sands.
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Unknown. Family Hygromiidae.
Remarks: Gottschick & Wenz (1927) mentioned two specimens.
suevica Jooss, 1918b , Hyalinia (Polita) (Plate 9, Fig. 7a–c)
Hyalinia (Polita) suevica Jooss, 1918b: 289.
Holotype: SMNS 106441.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Dischingen, Silvana-beds (“Silvanaschichten”).
Age: Late Miocene (Tortonian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Zonitoides suevicus (Jooss, 1918b) (fide Wenz 1923). Family Gastrodontidae.
suevica Miller, 1907, Melania (Plate 9, Fig. 8)
Melania suevica Miller, 1907: 456, pl. 9, fig. 20.
Syntypes: SMNS 27646 (5 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Bavaria: Bachhagel, karst fissure limestone.
Age: Eocene.
Taxonomic status: Uncertain; Wenz (1923) lists this species as Palaeostoa suevica. Family Palaeostoidae.
suevica Sandberger, 1875, Clausilia (Plate 9, Fig. 9)
Clausilia grandis Sandberger, 1872: pl. 29, fig. 18a [non Klein, 1846, nec fig. 18]
Clausilia suevica Sandberger, 1875: 461 (ref. pl. 29, fig. 18a).
Syntypes: SMNS 106438 (2 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Berg near Ehingen (Donau), Ehinger-Ramondi-Schichten [Ramondibeds of Ehingen].
Age: Late Oligocene (Chattian).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Triptychia suevica (Sandberger, 1875) (revised by Schnabel 2007). Family Filholiidae.
Remarks: Schnabel (2007) cites as “holotype” a specimen in Sandberger's collection in the MUWI, although Sandberger stated that he studied from Ehingen one specimen from each of the following: his personal collection, the Stuttgart collection and Probst's collection. Schnabel's “holotype” declaration is invalid (article 73.1 ICZN), and a name-bearing type specimen is to date not validly selected. Sandberger's specimen in the SMNS is a syntype and not just “further material” as mentioned by Schnabel. Moreover, the collection in Stuttgart counts with two specimens as Sandberger's original material, not just a single one.
suevica Sandberger, 1875, Helix (Plate 9, Fig. 10a–c)
Helix suevica Sandberger, 1875: 459 (Probst coll.). Galactochilus brauni var. suevica Jooss, 1918b: 292.
Syntypes: SMNS 14914 (4 specimens), 106440 (3 specimens), ex Probst coll.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Berg near Ehingen (Donau). Ehinger Ramondi-Schichten [Ramondibeds of Ehingen].
Age: Late Oligocene (Chattian).
Taxonomic status: Uncertain, possibly a synonym of Galactochilus braunii ehingensis (Klein, 1846) (fide Wenz 1923). Family Elonidae (Eloninae) or Helicidae (Ariantinae).
Remarks: Jooss (1918b) stated that Helix suevica Sandberger, 1875 was a juvenile specimen of his Galactochilus brauni var. suevica. Although Jooss designated the name suevica as new (“n. var.”), his citation of Helix suevica Sandberger indicates that he meant to redescribe the latter. Analogous to the case of Helix alveus Sandberger (q.v.), Jooss believed apparently that Helix suevica Sandberger was a nomen nudum. This is incorrect, as Sandberger provided a short diagnosis. Sandberger's original material thus constitutes the type series. Jooss' label indicates that it is Sandberger's original material.
suevica Sandberger, 1872, Vitrina (Plate 9, Fig. 11a, b)
Vitrina suevica Sandberger, 1872: pl. 29, figs. 27a–b; Sandberger, 1875: 602.
Holotype: SMNS 106439.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Neuselhalder Hof near Steinheim am Albuch, marl layers with Planorbarius cornu (Brongniart, 1810).
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 7).
Taxonomic status: Valid. Family Vitrinidae.
suevicus Gottschick, 1928, Amnicola (Plate 9, Fig. 12)
Amnicola suevica Gottschick, 1928: 148, pl. 2, fig. 7a–c.
Syntypes: SMNS 15817 (11 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Zwiefalten (Mörsingen), Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Karpatian-Badenian; MN 5).
Taxonomie status: Uncertain, possibly a subspecies of Pseudamnicola convexus (Sandberger, 1875). Family Hydrobiidae (Pseudamnicolinae).
Remarks: The material is labelled ‘Amnicola subpseudoglobulus Gottschick & Wenz”. This name was never published, and it is likely that it had been changed because of its clumsiness, but due to his death in 1928, Gottschick was unable to change the label. Gottschick (1928) lists 15 specimens, but the present material consists only of eleven; the remaining four are thus deemed lost. The two syntypes of the “subspecies” Amnicola suevicus major Gottschick, 1928 could not be found; this nominal taxon does not appear to be conspecific.
suevicus Wenz, 1919, Viviparus (Plate 9, Fig. 13)
Paludina varicosa Krauss, 1852: 139, pl. 3, fig. 2 [non C. d'Orbigny, 1837 (: 1, pl. 79, figs. 1–3)].
Viviparus suevicus Wenz, 1919a: 76.
Syntype: SMNS 106437.
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Kirchberg an der Iller, lower “greenish-yellow sand” layer (“grünlich gelber Sand”) of the Kirchberg Formation.
Age: Late Early Miocene (Burdigalian/Ottnangian, MN 4b).
Taxonomic status: Valid as Viviparus suevicus Wenz, 1919. Family Viviparidae (Viviparinae).
Remarks: When Wenz (1919) defined the new name for the species, he also designated a “Typus” from his personal collection. This action is not valid as per ICZN Article 75.8; the replacement name has the same name-bearing type as Krauss' original name.
trochiformis Miller, 1907, Helicina(?)
See milleri Fulton, 1915, Helicina.
trolli Schlickum, 1979b, Hydrocena (Hydrocena) (Plate 9, Fig. 14)

Type locality: Poland: Silesia: Opole (= Königlich Neudorf near Oppeln).
Age: Middle Miocene (MN 6–7).
Taxonomic status: Valid. Family Hydrocenidae.
Remarks: Schlickum (1979) included the material reported by Andreae (1902) and Wenz (1926, 1930) in his new species. This material is therefore part of the type series (article 72.4.2 ICZN).
truncatuliformis Schütze in Branca & Fraas, 1908, Lymnaea (Plate 9, Fig. 15)
Limnaeus truncatuliformis Schütze in Branca & Fraas, 1908: 20, fig. 11.

Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Andelfinger Berg near the village of Andelfingen, Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).
Taxonomic status: Valid, as Lymnaea (s. lat.) turrita Klein, 1853. Family Lymnaeidae (Lymnaeinae).
Remarks: We designate here the lectotype as the most complete specimen, which is also the one figured in the original description (Klein 1853).
turrita Klein, 1846, Melania (Plate 9, Fig. 17a, b)
Melania turrita Klein, 1846: 81, pl. 2, fig. 2.
Syntypes: SMNS 106444 (2 specimens).
Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg : Ehingen, Silvanaschichten [Silvana-beds].
Age: Late Early/early Middle Miocene (Burdigalian/Langhian; MN 5).

Type locality: Germany: Baden-Württemberg: Ulm (Thalfingen), Thalfinger Schichten [Thalfingen beds].
Age: Early Miocene (Aquitanian, MN2a).
Taxonomie status: Potentially valid in the genus Discus, but requiring further study. Family Discidae.
Remarks: Jooss (1918b) reports the species as “rather rare”. As this does not exclude the possibility of the type series consisting of more than one specimen, it is prudent to treat the only preserved specimen in the Jooss collection as syntype.
ulmensis Sandberger, 1875, Clausilia (Plate 9, Fig. 19)
Clausilia grandis Sandberger, 1872: pl. 29, fig. 18 [non 18a] [non Clausilia grandis Klein, 1846].

Appendix 3: Missing type material
Below are listed all nominal species-group taxa (in their original form) of which no type material could be identified in the SMNS collection. Part of this material could still be present in the SMNS but not identified as types, part may be deposited in other institutions, and part (or most) might have actually been lost. In a few cases, type material that had been inventoried in the SMNS collection could not be presently located. More specifically, the material listed below from the works of Gottschick, Wenz, Miller and Klein were probably in the Wenz collection in Frankfurt, which was destroyed during World War II (see also ). Furthermore, we have included below the new taxa which Sandberger (1870–1875) described from southern Germany. While Sandberger's collection is mostly stored in the MUWI (or SMF) collection, he identified some specimens he studied as being kept in the “k. Naturaliensammlung zu Stuttgart” [royal collection of natural objects in Stuttgart], Moreover, many specimens were provided to Sandberger by others (notably Wetzler, Probst and Miller), but it is not stated whether he just borrowed them or incorporated them into his collection. If he returned them to their original owners. Miller's collection is the only one to have been acquired by the SMNS.
