DIAGNOSIS. — Colony erect, flat, multiserial, bifurcating, with 8 - 10 longitudinal rows of autozooecia. Autozooecia at colony margin can be more than twice as long as those in colony centre. Frontal shield without granulations, knobbly, perforated by marginal areolar pores; lateral tubercles sometimes developing when secondary calcification occurs; frontal area relatively narrow in zooecia located in middle part of colony. Orifice oval to suborbicular with broad poster. Lateral-oral pair of avicularia small, circular, often fusing as bridge across aperture in older parts of colony. Secondary calcification often expressed as well-developed tubercles situated usually in corners of zooecia.

REMARKS Adeonella ornatissima differs from Adeonella mortisaga (Stoliczka, 1862), n. comb. in having shorter autozooecia with a knobbly frontal shield and oral avicularia that may fuse across the aperture.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Two syntypes registered as 2010 / 0259 / 0010. Ŋe chosen lectotype (designated here) corresponds with Stoliczka’s illustration (1862: pl. 2, fig. 7) and is depicted in Figure 3 D herein.

ABSTRACT

A collection of bryozoans from the Oligocene of Latdorf, Germany, first described by Ferdinand Stoliczka in 1862 and not examined since, has been reexamined. Stoliczka had recognized 47 species, 24 of them new. Of these latter, 14 names remain valid; the remainder are synonyms of previously described taxa or, owing to the originally inadequate state of the fossil material examined, taxonomically indeterminable. Ŋe genera Orbitulipora Stoliczka, 1862 and Stichoporina Stoliczka, 1862, both introduced by Stoliczka in 1862 along with their type species, are still valid. Two of his species, one of which had not been examined since its first description, comprise a new bryocryptellid genus, Stoliczkella n. gen., which superficially resembles the celleporid genus Galeopsis Jullien & Calvet, 1903. Diagnoses or descriptions are provided herein for all of the taxa in the collection and lectotypes selected. Ŋe results of this revision will be applied to a forthcoming analysis of a recent extended excavation of the Latdorf section by the University of Leipzig, in which bryozoans are among the most abundant fossil groups.
