<p lang="en-GB" align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We describe 46 species in six families of Buccinoidea from the Miocene of the Central Paratethys Sea (4 Colubrariidae, 5 Eosiphonidae, 1 Melongenidae, 14 Pisaniidae, 4 Prodotiidae, 18 Tudiclidae). For the first time species of the family Prodotiidae are documented from the European Neogene. <em>Tethyspollia </em><strong>nov. gen.</strong> (Prodotiidae) and <em>Gailleagrassor</em> <strong>nov. gen.</strong> (Eosiphonidae) are introduced as new genera. <em>Metula kovacsi </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Metula aliceae </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong> (Colubrariidae), <em>Gailleagrassor paratethyca</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Calagrassor</em> <em>viciani </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong> (Eosiphonidae), <em>Prodotia</em>? <em>wesselyi</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong> (Prodotiidae),<em> Aplus hofae</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Janiopsis vindobonensis </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong> (Pisaniidae),<em> Euthria brunettii </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Euthria walaszczyki</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Euthria</em> <em>dellabellai</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Euthria frausseni </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Euthria obelixi </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong>, <em>Euthria odiosa</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong> and <em>Euthria zachosi</em> nov. sp. (Tudiclidae) are introduced as new species. In addition, <em>Aplus anatolicus </em><strong>nov. sp.</strong> and <em>Euthria yesimae</em> <strong>nov. sp.</strong> are described as new species from the Serravallian (Middle Miocene) of the Karaman Basin (Turkey). </span></span></span></p> <p lang="en-GB" align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> We provide a critical survey of Paratethyan species erroneously placed in Tudiclidae. The fauna is highly endemic. The diversity reached a maximum during the Langhian Miocene Climate Optimum and declined distinctly with the onset of the Serravallian.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p>MATHIAS HARZHAUSERBERNARD M.
