«No other Upper Cretaceous European species can be compared to P. inversus. From the Upper Cretaceous of Jordan I saw several specimens of Propeamussium samariensis (CONRAD, 1852) (B. M. L 67450, 67462 from Djenin) which are very similar to P. inversus NILSSON; they have 8-12 internal ribs, large unequal ears, a very long straight hinge-line which are also P. inversus characteristics. Between the ribs they seem to have very close concentric ornamentation which I do not known on P. inversus.»
