“…parallela, F. vera and Ptylopora aff. nodosa (Suárez Andrés & Ernst 2015), but most significantly by Fenestrapora occidentalis. According to the reported occurrences, Fenestrapora was a shortlived genus (upper Emsian to Givetian) with few known species, but its geographic distribution was relatively wide, ranging from US to Spain, Germany and Azerbaijan (Ernst 2016).…”

“…Palaeogeographic analyses of Palaeozoic bryozoans are significantly biased by these factors, and conclusions must be assumed as approaches subject to modifications according to the progress of knowledge. Updated taxonomic work has been carried out recently on the fenestrate bryozoans from the Moniello Formation; Suárez Andrés & Wyse Jackson (2014) described the rare Ernstipora mackinneyi, Suárez Andrés & Ernst (2015) reported thirteen species of Fenestellidae and eighteen more belonging to other families have been identified in the present work. These data provide a rather detailed insight into the morphological and taxonomic diversity developed by fenestrates from NW Spain during the transition between the Early and Middle Devonian.…”

“…Their associations tend to be dominated by members of the orders Trepostomata and Cystoporata during the Early Palaeozoic, while those of the orders Fenestrata and Cryptostomata are usually predominant in the Late Palaeozoic (Ernst 2013). The studies devoted to the Devonian bryozoan fauna of NW Spain during the last number of years reveal a well-represented, highly diverse group providing important palaeobiogeographic and palaeobiologic data (Ernst , 2011(Ernst , 2012Suárez Andrés & McKinney 2010;Ernst et al 2011;Ernst & Buttler 2012;Suárez Andrés & Ernst 2015). The Lower-Middle Devonian succession of NW Spain provides a rich record of episodes of reefal development, an outstanding evidence of high biodiversity that has received close attention for decades (Méndez-Bedia 1976.…”

Lower-Middle Devonian non-fenestellid fenestrate bryozoans of NW Spain are reported, from two coastal sections of the upper Emsian-lower Eifelian Moniello Formation, the type locality at Moniello Inlet and at Arnao. Eighteen species of non-Fenestellidae fenestrates belonging to thirteen genera and six families have been identified; nine species are new: Bashkirella arnaoense, Utropora parva, Bigeyina cantabrica, B. spinosa, Fenestrapora elegans, Paraseptopora geometrica, P. irregularis, Kalvariella antiqua and Filites robustus. Fenestrates described herein, together with earlier reported taxa of the Family Fenestellidae from the Moniello Formation show palaeobiogeographic affinities with those of neighbouring Gondwanan regions, especially with Bohemia, but also with Middle Devonian assemblages from Eastern North America. The fenestrate fauna from NW Spain comprises seven species common with the Lower Devonian of the Prague Basin (Bohemia, Czech Republic) and genera with relatively limited geographic distributions, such as Utropora and Filites. A remarkable feature of the studied fauna is the presence of several species that represent the earliest and westernmost reported occurrence of their genera, Bashkirella, Paraseptopora and Kalvariella, as well as previously reported Cavernella asturica. The occurrence of these species together with the stratigraphic and geographic position of previously reported ones indicate the existence of large gaps in the distribution of these Lazarus genera.•

“…Recent studies (Suárez Andrés and McKinney, 2010; Suárez Andrés and Wyse Suárez Andrés and Ernst, 2015) have documented a number of unusual fenestrate growth morphologies that seem to have originated and gone extinct during the Devonian. These morphologies represent additional evidence of novel diversification in zoarial form in the Order Fenestrata during this period, as distinct to the radiation of new taxa documented by Ernst (2013).…”

Seven fenestrate bryozoans are described from the Middle Devonian of the Eifel. Three species were identified as Prolixicella bifurcata Ernst and Schroeder, 2007, Rectifenestella aculeata (Sandberger and Sandberger, 1856), and Spinofenestella antiqua (Goldfuss, 1826). Four species are described in open nomenclature: Rectifenestella sp. 1 and sp. 2, Ptylopora sp., and Spinofenestella sp. Analysis of the distribution of the fenestrate bryozoans from the Middle Devonian of the Eifel shows their relatively high level of endemism revealing some few connections to the Devonian of Europe and Asia. The studied association shows similarities to the contemporary fauna from Sauerland.
