Ernst, Andrej, Carrera, Marcelo G. (2022): A cool-water bryozoan association from the La Pola Formation (Sandbian, Ordovician) of Argentine Precordillera. Geodiversitas 44 (20): 563-601, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2022v44a20
DESCRIPTION Massive hemispherical colony, 8.5 mm thick in its central part and 20 mm wide at its base. Secondary overgrowth not observed. Exozone indistinct. Autozooecia long, prismatic, growing from epitheca. Autozooecial apertures polygonal. Diaphragms straight, rare to common in endozone, common in exozone. Autozooecial walls indistinctly granular, irregularly thickened, 0.015 - 0.040 mm thick. Maculae not observed. COMPARISON

The present material is similar to Dianulites rocklandensis Wilson, 1921 from the Ordovician (upper Sandbian) of Canada. This species, as described byWilson (1921), developed branched ramose colonies. However, Kang (2017) mentioned also hemispheric colonies of this species found at the type locality. Dianulites rocklandensis differs from D. microcellatus Astrova, 1945 from the Upper Ordovician of Urals in larger autozooecial apertures (0.24 - 0.36 mm vs 0.19 - 0.28 mm in D. microcellatus).
