“…Most of the available determinations and names in the literature represent misidentifications, partly even on the genus level. "Hydrobia" and "Pyrgula" as well as "Lithoglyphus nannus" mentioned by Krstić et al (2012) most likely reflect the here described Tournouerina turiecensis nov. sp.…”

“…Most likely the identification of Krstić et al (2012) as Lithoglyphus nanus Roshka, 1973 [misspelt as "nannus"] actually reflects the present species. Lithoglyphus nanus is a Late Miocene taxon from the Eastern Paratethys and has a much bulkier shell with bigger last whorl and strongly inclined aperture.…”

The present work displays the first detailed taxonomic study on the freshwater gastropod fauna of the Upper Miocene Lake Turiec. Apart from several mentions of species and genus names in the literature, the mollusc fauna has been poorly studied up to now. Some of the cited genera implied peculiar paleobiogeographic relationships, urging a taxonomic investigation to either prove or revise such arising claims. Variable degrees of preservation, however, limited the possibility to identify all the fossils at species level. The fauna includes at least ten species, of which five turned out to be new to science. Four of those were sufficiently well preserved to be described as new species, namely Viviparus pipiki Neubauer & Harzhauser nov. sp., Melanopsis glaubrechti Neubauer & Harzhauser nov. sp., Tournouerina turiecensis Neubauer & Harzhauser nov. sp., and Radix kovaci Neubauer & Harzhauser nov. sp. Additionally, the new genus Popovicia Neubauer & Harzhauser nov. gen. is introduced for the primary homonym Metohia Popović, 1964 non Absolon, 1927. Most importantly, this taxonomic study revises many of the names cited in the literature and proves most of the alleged paleobiogeographic relationships wrong. The only biogeographic and stratigraphic surprise is the record of Popovicia cf. compressa, a species described from lower Pliocene deposits of the Metohia Basin in Kosovo. The majority of the fauna, however, has only been documented for the Turiec Basin, once more confirming the high degree of its endemicity. The faunal relationships indicate a latest Middle to early Late Pannonian (Middle to Late Tortonian) age, which is in agreement with available age models.

“…Bahun (1990) stated that this entire area was covered with smaller or larger lakes even during the Miocene, while Pavelić (2002) claimed that during the Miocene this area was probably part of Paratethys. The existence of the Neogene Dinaric Lake System in this area has also been described by Harzhauser and Mandić (2008), Krstić et al (2012) and Mandić et al (2012).…”

“…In contrast to the situation today, the number of long-lived European lakes was by far higher in the Neogene. For the Early Miocene, at least 12, and for the Middle Miocene, at least 24 systems are considered to be long-lived (Schütt and Besenecker, 1973;Arp, 2006;Kókay, 2006;Harzhauser and Mandic, 2008;Wesselingh et al, 2008;Mandic et al, 2009;Dragičević et al, 2010;De Leeuw et al, 2011;Neubauer et al, 2011;Krstić et al, 2012;Neubauer et al, 2013a, c;Rasser, 2013a, b;Reichenbacher et al, 2013), i.e., they existed over more than 100,000 years (Gorthner, 1994). These were geographically much more evenly distributed across Europe than today.…”

For the first time a palaeobiogeographic framework is proposed for European Neogene freshwater systems. The distribution of 2226 species-group taxa of freshwater gastropods from over 2700 Miocene and Pliocene localities was evaluated. The localities were grouped into palaeo-freshwater systems based on latest palaeogeographic reconstructions. Cluster analyses were computed for four time slices, i.e., Early Miocene, Middle Miocene, Late Miocene, and Pliocene. The analyses demonstrate a generally high degree of provincialism for the Neogene freshwater systems and allow the definition of biogeographic units. The delimitations are based on the cluster analyses, the degree of endemicity, and geographical coherence. The Early Miocene is characterised by a relatively low degree of provincialism suggesting the distinction of three regions. Coinciding with the development of many endemic systems on the Dinarian-Anatolian Island and in central Europe, the Middle Miocene demonstrates a higher degree of provincialism, allowing the definition of six biogeographic regions. With the onset of the Late Miocene the retreat of the Central Paratethys and development of the huge Lake Pannon massively shaped faunal evolution and palaeobiogeography in general. The formation of the 'Lago-mare' environment fringing the Mediterranean Basin as well as the development of several restricted freshwater systems in western Europe additionally promoted biogeographic division. The increasing provincialism allowed the delimitation of six biogeographic regions, three of which could be subdivided into seven dominions. With the disappearance of Lake Pannon and the decline of western European and Mediterranean faunas at the Miocene-Pliocene boundary, biodiversity hotspots shifted towards eastern and southeastern Europe. For the Pliocene, four biogeographic regions, five dominions, and four provinces were defined. Most of the here proposed biogeographic units and faunal differences are governed by the varied existence of large, long-lived systems. Because of their prolonged duration they immensely influenced the community composition on the family level, differences of the relative species richnesses per biogeographic region, and the rising rate of endemicity. The underlying mechanism for this pattern is the ongoing continentalization of Europe triggered by the Alpidic orogenesis and the simultaneous retreat of the Paratethys Sea. The continuing restriction of this huge intracontinental sea from the Mediterranean promoted the evolution of endemic freshwater faunas. The arising long-lived systems like Lake Pannon, Lake Dacia or Lake Slavonia persisted over several millions of years and stimulated the evolution of highly diverse and endemic faunas.
