Diagrammatic representation of the suture of: A, holotype of Metohedensfroemio (cosfriofoe (Arttiaber), from tfie Subco/umbifes fauna of Albania, at a diameter of 36 mm; B, fiolotype Hedenstroemia pityoussae Renz and Renz (1948: pi. 16, fig. 8b), from tfie Subco/umb/fes fauna of Cfiios, at a diameter of approximately 20 mm; C, fiolo- type Beo//fes berthae Arthober (1911), from Subco/umbifes fauna of Albania, new drawing at a diameter of 32 mm. the suture can be exposed only by grind- ing. In the case of the type specimen of this genus the grinding has been excessive. A new drawing of the suture, as exposed, is shown on Figure 27A. The Chios species, Hedenstroemia pityoussae Renz and Renz (1948), differs from the type species of Metahedenstroemia in details of the suture. However, as I believe the differences are due mainly to the results of specimen preparation and are more apparent than real, I consider the two species conspecific. Tliis genus and species is known only from the Subcolumbites fauna of Albania and Chios. Metahedenstroemia kastriotae (Arthaber) Plate 14, figures 9, 10; Text-figure 27 Hedenstroemia kastriotae Arthaber, 1911: 208, p. 17(1), figs. 14a-c; Diener, 1915: 148. Metahedenstroemia kastriotae,—Spath, 1934: 223, fig. 72; Kummel, in Arkell et al., 1957: LI40, fig. 173, 10. Hedenstroemia pityoussae Renz and Renz, 1947: 61, 78; Renz and Renz, 1948: 83, pi. 16, figs. 8-8b. Arthaber (1911: 208) had two speci- mens of this species but only the specimen Spath (: 223) selected as the type of his genus Metahedenstroemia is still preserved in the Paleontological Institute, University of Vienna. This specimen is all phragmocone and measures mm in diameter, mm for the height of the last whorl, and mm for the width of the last whorl. It is illustrated here on Plate 14, figures 9, 10 and the suture on Figures 27A, B. The species Hedenstroemia pit
