Abstract

Rich assemblages of non–marine molluscs are recorded from the middle Pleistocene fluvio–lacustrine sediments of several Central–Southern Italian intramontane basins. By a malacological point of view the best investigated basins are: the Liri Valley (Latium), Vallo di Diano (Southern Campania), Noce river (Basilicata) and Mercure (Basilicata). Highly diversified freshwater molluscan assemblages of gastropods and bivalves, and a low degree of endemism characterize these basins. The endemic, extinct freshwater hydrobioid species, Tanousia subovata (Settepassi) is one of the most frequent taxon, occurring mainly in calcareous sands and silts or in marly clays. The age of the malacological assemblages containing T. subovata is constrained between about 0.8 Ma and 0.2 Ma. Then T. subovata, endemic of central–southern Italian intramontane basins, represents a good tool for the correlation of middle Pleistocene non–marine deposits.
