? Bohlinia attica (Gaudry & Lartet, 1856)

A metacarpal fragment, FM-2289 from Str-1 (min. width of shaft = c. 55 mm) can be tentatively assigned to Bohlinia Matthew, 1929 , as it is more elongated and slender than in any other genus. From Str-2 a first phalanx (FM-2269) and two second ones, FM-2147 and 2147b (all likely from the same individual) probably also belong to this genus, as their measurements fit those of its Greek representatives ( Geraads 1974): Ph I: L = 109; prox. TD = 44.6; dist. TD = 35.8; prox. APD = c. 44; dist. APD = c. 30; min. W of shaft = 35.6; Ph. II (FM-2147): L = 62.8; prox. TD = 35.8; dist. TD = 32. The first phalanx is too long and slender for Samotherium : it is long enough, but too slender, for Helladotherium , but is close in its dimensions and proportions to a Bohlinia from Vathylakkos. The phalanges II are also smaller than those of Helladotherium ( Geraads 1974) .
