Abstract

Borsodbóta is a well-known Middle Miocene Mollusca site in Hungary, but no Polyplacophora remains have ever been described from there. In recent years, three chiton valves representing three species of three genera (Stenosemus radiatus Dell’Angelo et al., Rhyssoplax corallina (Risso), and Craspedochiton altavillensis (Seguenza)) have been found in the shallow marine bioclastic gravelly sands. It is the first known occurrence of the genera Stenosemus von Middendorf and Craspedochiton Shuttleworth and the species S. radiatus and C. altavillensis in Hungary. Until now known from the Early Miocene, the stratigraphic range of S. radiatus is extended to the Middle Miocene. It is the first record of Stenosemus from the Central Paratethys. With 14 figures.
