The Middle Miocene (Badenian) brachiopod collection from western Ukraine, described by Wilhelm Friedberg, has been revised taxonomically. For many years, this collection was believed to be lost, but recently it was rediscovered at the State Museum of Natural History (formerly the Dzieduszycki Family Natural History Museum) in Lviv, Ukraine. In his paper, Friedberg described 13 brachiopod species and/or subspecies. Following the revision, eight species have been recognised as valid, i.e., Lingula dregeri Andreae, Discinisca leopolitana (Friedberg), Terebratula styriaca Dreger, Gryphus miocenicus (Michelotti), Megathiris detruncata (Gmelin), Argyrotheca cuneata (Risso), Joania cordata (Risso), and Megerlia truncata (Linnaeus). Among them, T. styriaca and M. truncata are the predominant species.
