Abstract

Within the five determined taxa of the superfamily Unionacea from the new site Jelov Dol on Požeška Gora in Slavonia, three species are new: Ptychorhynchoideus cairrensis n. sp., Anodonta (Anemina) pilari n. sp. and Crassunio jelovinensis n. sp. Associated Congerias from various sites in northern Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in Lower Miocene deposits in Pannonian, Alpian, Karpatian and other areas indicate Lower Miocene, i.e. Ottnangian age. The shell morphology, hinge structure and umbonal ornamentation of the new taxa are also presented.
