Lyria (Lyria) picturata (de Grateloup, 1834) from the Miocene of Winterswijk-Miste, The Netherlands, with notes on related taxa (Mollusca, Gastropoda)

A single specimen of the volutoid gastropod Lyria (Lyria) picturata (de Grateloup, 1834) is recorded from the Miocene (Hemmoorian) of Winterswijk-Miste, The Netherlands. A revision of related European taxa leads to the conclusion that Voluta taurinia Michelotti, 1847 is a junior subjective synonym of V. picturata de Grateloup. Voluta oliva de Grateloup, 1847 may be retained as a forma, of which Lyria taurinia var. magnoventrosa Sacco, 1904 is a junior synonym. The distribution pattern of Lyria picturata includes the North Sea Basin (forma oliva only), SW France, northern Italy, Turkey and the Paratethys.
