Living and Fossil Brachiopod Genera 1775-1979: Lists and Bibliography

Abstract

with comments on their current nomenclatural status. A computerized list presents all valid brachiopod genera (and subge¬ nera), including subjective synonyms, with additional information regarding type-species, superfamily classification, and range (by period) of each genus. A bibliography supplements both lists.Official publication date is handstampecl in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.

The stratigraphy of a Late Palaeozoic borehole section at Douglas River, eastern Tasmania: a synthesis of marine macro-invertebrate and palynological data

“…Spiriferids previously ascribed to Tomiopsis Benediktova, 1956 are herein referred to Ambikella Sahni and Srivastava, 1956, since Benediktova's name is a junior homonym of the mammalian Tomiopsis Cope, 1893 (Doescher 1981).…”

The Late Palaeozoic brachiopod genusJakutoproductusKashirtsev 1959 and theJakutoproductus verchoyanicusZone, northern Yukon Territory, Canada

“…was published in October, 1959, and hence provided the first publication of the generic name. Because of the confusion caused by the misleading publication date printed in Kashirtsev (1960), most researchers (Muir-Wood, 1965;Kotlyar in Kotlyar and Popeko, 1967;Doescher, 1981;Abramov & Grigor'yeva, 1983;Ganelin, 1991) who ALCHERINGA have referred to Jakutoproductus attributed the genus to Kashirtsev (1960).…”

Late Permian (late Lymingtonian = ?Kazanian) brachiopods from Tasmania

“…In Notospirifer the spines are blunt, and the pits are wider and shorter with narrow interspaces, and lead anteriorly into broad globose pits which penetrate the outer shell layer (Armstrong, 1970). Whereas the genera have been variously placed within the Martiniacea and Reticulariacea (Stehli, in Williams, 1965;Waterhouse, 1968;McClung & Armstrong, 1978;Doescher, 1981), they are all undoubtedly closely related. I favour the recognition of the Ingelarellidae as a separate family within the Reticulariacea as tentatively suggested by Waterhouse (1982).…”
