Abstract

Very limited information is known about the Miocene brachiopod fauna of southernHungary and northeastern Croatia. The single significant paper from this area was publishedby Jakab Matyasovszky, who described five new species from Baranyavár (currently Branjin Vrh,Croatia) locality at the end of the 19th century. This material requires a significant taxonomicrevision, but the studied specimens are no longer available in the collection of the former GeologicalInstitute of Hungary, Budapest. Based on the descriptions and illustrations in Matyasovszky’spublication, four of the five new species are junior synonyms of previously introduced brachiopodspecies (Argiope baanensis = Joania cordata; Argiope hofmanni = Argyrotheca cuneata; Argiopebaranyaense = Joania cordata; Argiope boeckhi = Megathiris detruncata), while the fifth one is ajuvenile specimen that cannot be identified at the species or genus level (Terebratulina parva =Terebratulidae juv. indet.). With 25 figures.
