Abstract
The systematic and stratigraphical distribution of the genus Parak van den Bold 1958, has been studied in the Monte S. Nicola Section (Agrigento, Sicily). The section embraces the Pliocene from the top part of the M Pl 3 to first part of the Early Pleistocene. Eleven species have been identified, 8 of which are proposed as new, namely P. acuta n.sp., P. erecta n.sp., P. iuliani n.sp., P. lamellosa n.sp., P. oertliana n.sp., P. rotundata n.sp., P. semilunaris n.sp. and P. sicana n.sp. All the species are illustrated and the new ones described, illustrated and compared with the previously known ones.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
