Schafhaeutlia cf. astartiformis ( Münster, 1841)

Material.— One specimen ( PZO 12754 ) from Misurina Landslide surface sample, Italy, Carnian, Triassic .

Remarks.—The single specimen is articulated and partly fragmented. It is the same species as depicted in Hausmann and Nützel (2015). However, the illustrated specimen in Hausmann and Nützel (2015) is heavily encrusted whereas the individual studied herein shows no incrustations.

Material.— Seven specimens, 2 from bulk samples, 5 from surface samples, 2 from Lago Antorno ( PZO 12866, figu- Remarks.—Only the anterior auricle is preserved. The specimen is assigned to the genus Antijanira Bittner, 1901 , because it resembles the shells of Antijanira auristriata ( Münster, 1841) illustrated in Zardini (1981). Unfortunately, the auricle region was not depicted distinctly enough in Bittner (1895) to differentiate between species shown in his monograph.
