(Figs 71–76)

1874 Coralliophila burdigalensis – TOURNOUËR, p. 296, pl. 9, fig. 6.

1998 Coralliophila burdigalensis Tournouër – LOZOUET & RENARD, p. 173, fig. 2/1–10 (cum syn.).

2001 Coralliophila burdigalensis (Tournouër) – LOZOUET et al., p. 60, pl. 25, figs 1–10 (cum syn.).

Material – 16 specimens;Coşteiu: M.60.6955,M.60.6990(4),M.60.6994A–B (juv.), M.60.7009, M.60.7015 (2), M.60.7376A, M.60.10454, M.60.10711 (2); Lăpugiu: M.60.10363, M.68.503.

Remarks – The specimens represented here are closely allied in morphology to those figured by LOZOUET & RENARD (1998) from the Early Miocene of France. The other two Coralliophila species described by HOERNES & AUINGER (1885) at Lăpugiu de Sus: C. alternata (Bellardi) and C. hochstetteri (Hoernes et Auinger) are distinguishable by rounded spire whorls. C. burdigalensis differs from C. gracilispira Boettger by lower spire and broader last whorl. The specimen figured on Figs 75–76 represents a juvenile shell.
