Prozonarina fabagina

Gastropoda - Cypraeidae

Taxonomy
Cypraea fabagina was named by Lamarck (1810) [DISTRIBUTION: Early Miocene; Europe. Neotype designated by Schilder 1932b:25. Non 1923 Cypraea (Bernayia) fabagina, – Cossmann & Peyrot, Actes de la Société Linnéenne de Bordeaux, 74: pl. 9, figs. 9, 10 [= Prozonarina sp.]3. Non 1966 Cypraea (Zonaria) fabagina auctorum, – Strausz, Die miozän-mediterranen Gastropoden Ungarns: 239, pl. 75, figs. 14–21 [= Prozonarina sp.]. Non 2000 Cypraeorbis fabagina, – Fehse, Club Conchylia Informationen, 32 (1/3): 15, 2 unnumb. text figs. [= Prozonarina sp. – 2 different species]. Non 2004 Plaziatia fabagina, – Dolin & Lozouet, Cossmanniana, 4: pl. 24, figs. 1 a–1 c, 2 [figs. 1 a–1 b = Prozonarina sp.; fig. 2 = Zonarina abbessensis (Dolin & Lozouet 2004)].]. Its type specimen is BS.043.06.011, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil.

It was recombined as Cypraea (Zonaria) fabagina by Sacco (1894); it was recombined as Cypraea (Bernayia) fabagina by Cossmann and Peyrot (1923); it was recombined as Cypraeorbis fabagina by Schilder (1932); it was recombined as Cypraea (Bernaya) fabagina by Islamoglu and Taner (2002); it was recombined as Prozonarina fabagina by Fehse (2007).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. Fehse 2007Shell medium sized, ovate, with a produced, blunt anterior terminal and a curved and indented posterior terminal. Neither terminal is clearly delimited from the dorsal elevation. Spire involute, just above the bulge of the anal canal, usually obsolete and covered by thick terminal callus. Dorsum convex, with its highest elevation at the mid-portion and with the apex on the right side, smooth, margins slightly thickened by callus. Marginal callosities rounded. Dorsum hollowed out on both margins of the anterior terminal. Ventrum weakly convex. Aperture almost on ventral mid-portion, slightly sinuous, weakly curved posteriorly, with almost parallel edges, relatively narrow, wider along the fossula. Labrum thickened and slightly expanded medially, slightly declivous anteriorly, inner margin sharply edged, bearing 19 somewhat coarse, close-set, somewhat irregular labral dentietal lip weakly denticulate, with 15 developed denticles, weakening slightly in the mid-portion and strengthening again slightly on the posterior third. Denticles do not extend as folds onto the columella or fossula within the aperture. Terminal ridge marginal, bordering the siphonal canal, where it is slightly strengthened to form a narrow keel. Columellar teeth follow after a slight interstice. Fossula flattened, very steep, not clearly delimited from the rest of the columella, smooth and straight without any denticles on the inner fossular margin. The anterior border is formed by a continuation of the terminal ridge. The terminal ridge projects here at the anterior corner of the fossula. The anterior margin of the fossula is free, not fused with the inside of the dorsum.
