“…Externally N. reevei is close to the Antarctic species N. lecointei (Joubin, 1901), which also has a finely pustulose surface (Foster, 1974). It differs, however, in being much smaller and having more distinct, elevated anterior adductor scars.…”

SUMMARY: Twelve species of recent brachiopods belonging to the genera Lingula, Discradisca, Novocrania, Xenobrochus, Eucalathis, Frenulina, Argyrotheca, Campages, Thecidellina and Lacazella were identified in samples collected during shallow-water cruises around New Caledonia, southwest Pacific. Six genera, Lingula, Xenobrochus, Eucalathis, Frenulina, Campages and Thecidellina, have been already reported from the New Caledonian region, while four genera, Discradisca, Novocrania, Argyrotheca and Lacazella are the first records from this region. Additionally, Discradisca stella is the first discinid brachiopod recognized in the New Caledonia area. One new species is described, the megathyridid Argyrotheca neocaledonensis n. sp. The biogeographical affinities of the New Caledonia brachiopod faunas are briefly discussed.

“…Foster (1974) synonymised C. patagonica Dall, 1902, C. joubini Thomson, 1918and C. antarcticaensis Hatai, 1965 with C. lecointei; commented on its morphological variability, and noted it was the only craniid species present in Antarctic and South American waters. Lee (1987) and Lee et al (1997) listed Late Eocene -Early Oligocene fossil specimens from the North Otago and juvenile specimens from the Chatham Island Pliocene locality at Moutapu Point under the name Neocrania chathamensis (Allan, 1937).…”

Three fossil craniid species from Australia are synonymised. Two species are transferred to two different genera, one to Danocrania and one to Novocrania; these species are described, figured and their geographic ranges illustrated. Five fossil craniid species from New Zealand, four of Novocrania and one of Valdiviathyris, are described, figured and their geographic ranges illustrated. The species described range in age from middle Paleocene to Recent. The paleoecology is summarised.

“…vulvaria is certainly the most unusual among the patterns described here, as it is quite different from both the above-mentioned fossil material and recent taxa. In effect, the distribution of the punctae was studied in some detail in recent terebratulides, and it has been shown that in all studied species the pattern of the spatial positioning of the punctae was similar, consisting of more or less uniformly sized punctae disposed without significant changes in density (Foster 1974: fig. 3).…”

The nominative subgenus of Schizophoria (Brachiopoda, Orthida) is represented in the Lower and Middle Devonian of Poland and of the western Ukraine by six taxa: late Emsian Schizophoria (S.) interstrialis, late Eifelian S. (S.) schnuri biscissa, early Givetian S. (S.) schnuri schnuri, middle to late Givetian S. (S.) schnuri prohibita ssp.n., middle Givetian S. (S.) parvaepunctata and late Givetian S. (S.) sp.n. (unnamed for lack of sufficient material). Morphotypes referable to S. (S.) schnuri biscissa and to S. (S.) schnuri junkerbergiana co-occur in the same outcrop (not necessarily in the same levels), wherefore the separation of these subspecies may be maintained only if they are considered as chronosubspecies (unverifiable on the studied material) but not as geographic variants (hypothesis falsified by the studied material). A lectotype for S. (S.) interstrialis and a neotype for S. (S.) parvaepunctata are selected. Punctae diameter and density (either an important systematic character according to some authors or devoid of such value according to other ones) were investigated: they show important within-individual and within-sample variation, wherefore they cannot serve to distinguish related species. On the contrary, punctae character combinations are sufficiently constant to help differentiate subgenera or groups of species. In the studied material, three clusters are distinguished on the basis of the punctae characteristics: S. (Pachyschizophoria) and S. (S.) parvaepunctata differ between each other and from all other investigated species of S. (Schizophoria); the latter are indistinguishable on the sole basis of punctae characteristics.Kurzfassung Die nominative Untergattung von Schizophoria (Brachiopoda, Orthida) ist im Unter-und Mitteldevon Polens und der westlichen Ukraine durch sechs Taxa vertreten: Schizophoria (S.) interstrialis aus dem oberen Emsium, Schizophoria (S.) schnuri biscissa aus dem oberen Eifelium, S. (S.) schnuri schnuri aus dem unteren Givetium, S. (S.) schnuri prohibita ssp.n. aus dem mittleren bis oberen Givetium, S. (S.) parvaepunctata aus dem mittleren Givetium, und S. (S.) sp.n. (nicht benannt wegen des nicht ausreichendes Material) aus dem späten Givetium. Die zu S. (S.) schnuri biscissa und S. (S.) schnuri junkerbergiana beziehenden Morphotypi kommen zusammen an derselben Lokalität vor (aber nicht notwendigerweise in demselben Stratum), darum können sie nur als Chronosubspecies (nicht belegbar nach dem untersuchten Material) unterschieden werden, aber nicht als geographische Varianten (Hypothese widerlegt nach dem untersuchten Material). Ein Lectotypus für S. (S.) interstrialis und ein Neotypus für S. (S.) parvaepunctata werden ausgewählt. Der Durchmesser und die Dichte der Poren (nach einigen Autoren ein gutes taxonomisches Merkmal und nach anderen nicht), werden untersucht: Die Variation innerhalb eines Individuums und einer Probe ist bedeutend, darum kann sie nicht benutzen werden, um die verwandte Arten zu unterscheiden. Im Gegenteil, Porenmerkmalekombinationen s...
