Based on additional observations emended diagnoses are provided forAgononida cerovensisandGalathea weinfurteri, from the Lower and Middle Miocene, respectively.Munidopsisis represented by two species in the study area; additional data forM. lieskovensisfrom the Lower Miocene of Slovakia are presented and a new species,M. palmuelleri, from the Middle Miocene of Slovenia is erected.
