Parawocklumeria distorta (Tietze, 1870) from the late P. jugosus or early D. trigonica Zone at Dzikowiec in the Sudetes  and mature specimen reproduced from Schindewolf..

Diagnoza

Relatively evolute conch with ventrolateral furrows on the mature living chamber.

Porównanie

The holotype of P. patens from the same strata may represent mature stage of the same species. Unfortunately, being originally housed in Wrocław, it was probably lost during World War II, together with the holotype of P. distorta. P. distributa Czarnocki, 1989 from Kowala closely resembles the Dzikowiec specimens of P. distorta in the conch form but differs from the specimen illustrated  in a wider and mory distinctly bilobate ventral saddle of the suture. Becker introduced the separate genus Tardewocklumeria for it, hypothesizing that this is the ancestral member of the Wocklumeriidae.
